Hi. So I’ve scoured the forums and googled a ton for one of the issues I have, but have not found anything remotely like it anywhere. Also, I have recently (last couple months) had a significant increase in crashes of my client, sometimes with errors generated and sometimes, nothing at all. So I’m going to post a numbered list of issues I’ve had with some description of each in hopes that someone can shed some light on or help me in any way to understand what is going on and possibly fix it. This may get a little long, but thanks in advance for reading and any suggestions.
My comp:
MacBook pro 15" late 2011
2.2 ghz intel core i7
8gb ram
AMD radeon hd 6750m 512mb
Os X 10.7.5 (all updates are up-to-date)
1. Since Mac beta client launch or shortly thereafter, I have had this crazy issue of whenever my MagSafe power cable is knocked out, I get booted from the character I’m logged in at and sent back to the character select screen with a generic error of “the client has lost connection with the log in server, please wait and try again.” This is just the gist. This happens about 95% of the time I disconnect my power cable on purpose or by accident. It happens slightly less in the last month, but that has been replaced by other problems. It’s not as consistent anymore for some reason, which definitely leads me to believe it’s something client related. That combined with the fact that I CANNOT create the same issue on my hubs MacBook pro with retina display nor my friends computer (same as my hubs). And also, my computer does not lose Internet connectivity anywhere else (websites still load, client downloads continue, as do downloads for other games and random content). Lastly, if the disconnect does not occur upon power cable disconnect, it will about 80% of the time occur when I reconnect my power cable. Of course, this seems to have improved slightly in the last month, but it still happens often enough to be REALLY annoying and inconvenient.[it is not my router, not one other device on my network is affected by this]
2. Completely random client crashes. So, since launch, I have had issues with this (even during beta weekends, but they waned and flowed as to how often). I had minor crashing issues on the pc client, but it only got worse on the Mac beta client. I understand it’s BETA, so errors and crashes are to be expected, but it sometimes gets to the point of unplayable randomly. I have other friends who play on the Mac client and for every 1 crash they have (which is practically never), I’ve had about 100. This is no exaggeration, they almost never crash, but I crash at least once daily, most days! I used to just have random back to desktop crashes and I’d get an option to send Mac an error report, sometimes not. But more recently (last month or 2), I get serious errors, as noted by the error box. I have seen a few of these come across on the forums, but nothing that helps me. The most recent of these includes the C0000005 error completely random; running around the world, mid-fight or jp in WvW, or just sitting in LA, sometimes I’m shuffling inventory, sometimes chatting, sometimes when I’m doing absolutely nothing at all like when I take a 2 min afk to get a drink or check a text message, I see this happen all the time now. In the last 3 days, I’ve had these crashes about 8 times at least. I’ve stopped counting, it becomes habit to force quit application and restart. None of my mac friends have this problem! Typically, after these type of crashes, I have a very difficult time getting back into the game: extended load times on logging in, loading the character select screen (it takes about 2 mins for the graphics and text to load), and forget getting logged onto a character, that takes up to 5 mins or I sometimes have to force quit the client and try again.
Using 2posts, apparently, I’m too loquacious!
