Guild Wars 2

Has anyone every tried to see if GW2 will run on Windows 8.1 with only 2gb of ram? Does it work fine with the new updates? Last time I played few months ago it worked fine with only 2gb of ram on a different notebook but some reason on this new notebook it won’t run. Basically because of something about this notebook the setup won’t let me download the game. My other notebook that has 4GB of ram downloads fine. But what’s strange is that the HP notebook that only had 2GB worked back few months ago.

You’ll most likely have loading issues (pulling data from swap) and anything else seems to run like on a slow Commodore C64 with a datasette while GW2 is minimized (Don’t try to buy gems via PayPal with only 2 GB of RAM, you’ll load longer than the timeout permits)

Yes, you can run GW2 with just 2 GB of RAM, but it’ll not be fun.

You should have at least 4 GB, better 8 GB (and 64Bit OS) to have a flawless experience. Also don’t try to push graphic and textural details too far on a 32Bit OS because the memory management of GW2 has “glitches” on 32Bit and may crash.

What’s strange is that if I used my other notebook thats has 4gb and running windows 7 it went to the screen where it says install GW2. The toshiba one didn’t even get to that part. That’s why I thought it was because of the ram is only 2gb. I did even try to download it and it does download so I can only think its the toshiba notebook.
The toshiba notebook has 64bit windows 8.1 btw.

I really need help on this guys.

I have a desktop running Gw2 on Windows 8 with 2GB ram. I’ve all settings on low and it’s able to run smoothly although map loading is slow.

Maybe try copying the Gw2 data files straight from your other installation and run it?
