Guild Wars 2

Just a note I would throw out that I have noticed since the last patch the lockedRect.pBits crash to desktop error is cropping up again in WvW .. but as I mentioned in the FPS post it now seems to take a much more massive zergy fighting to trigger it..

just wanted to see if anyone else noticed it.. the frames per second is great in wvw now and I can live with the lockedRect.pBits crash to desktop if the performance is this good now.

Yeah, I have to boot up into Windows to play WvW due to the constant crashing. It doesn’t crash in LA, though. Been getting some pretty horrendous latency too but network performance is another issue.

In case any Anet devs are looking at this thread here is the error message in question you get with the crash to desktop.

After some degree of testing. these settings (on my mac) seem to make the lockedRect.pBits stop .. granted you loose all the nice eyecandy but the client is less prone to crash.

(obviously there are still some very ugly warts to be fixed by aNET)

For the record since I have set these graphic settings I have not had a problem in WvW .. where (for me) the issue crops up the most.. the only downside is of course I had to shut off almost all the eye candy.

Same error here. Happening for like 2 days now. I added a screenshot of the error as a attachment.

Reduce your current graphic settings..
