Guild Wars 2

This message has suddenly appearred ONLY when playing GW2.. IOt started aboit 2-3 weeks ago. And its has only does this with GW2?

Windows basically the closes the graphics down pops up that message, but keeps the game running.

I’ve done some google searches and tried wiping my video card driver with a drive cleaner.. re-installed the video driver and it still happening??

I’ve checked the compatibility mode for the exe.. I don’t what to do??

Have you contacted the Tech CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below (or from any other guildwars2.com site page) and ‘Submit a Ticket’ for assistance?

Good luck.

I believe this to be hardware related, something is failing in the graphics subsystem, and by utilizing it, you’ll run into a BSOD. So it’s a failsafe preventing you from running the program in in order to avoid a BSOD.

Possibly this may trigger by mistake, but quite likely something’s up with hardware in combination with a specific program, in your case GW2. It may be as simple as an overclock and/or voltage issue.

I have not contact tech support directly.

Its a 3 year old Alienware 17 laptop with the Nvidia 780m GPU. Its not overclocked or anything like that. I can run Witcher 3, Dishonored 2, (recently ran the Titanfall 2 free weekend), The_Division, etc. never get the message. Only GW2.

Right now, I’m downloading new chipset driver and the intel video card drive so we’ll see if that helps.

About a month ago, I finally broke down and purchased an external 24" monitor for it and am using the DisplayPort to drive it. I wonder if that has something to do with the sudden appearance of the error. Before that I just used the built in LCD screen???

It may. Googling this error, it seems there can be lots of things that may trigger this, including which connection is used to hook up to a monitor. I’ve yet to find ONE answer that solves this once and for all, so my advice would be to search for info out there and see if there’s a fix that applies to your system.

One popular fix seems to involve changing TDR value in the registry, or even disable it (something added in Vista iirc that’s supposed to prevent the entire system from crashing when something’s up with the graphics card/driver).

I hope you’ll find a solution that works for you – good luck!

Well, updating the chipset driver and the Intel driver didn’t do anything.

I had already tried the TDRDelay in the registry,.,. to no avail..

I’ve even lowered the settings on the game. same error..

Just tried running GW2 on the laptop’s display with the external monitor unplugged.. message pops up. The message comes up within minutes of GW2 launching.

Last night, I play Witcher 3 for 2-3 hours…. no issues what so ever.

UPDATE: We’ll I think I might have fixed it. I downloaded a different driver cleaner.. went to “safe mode” and ran the driver cleaner there, removing all the NVidia drivers, etc.. When Windows came back up, I let it install the drivers. Windows installed just the 368.71 drivers from NVidia. It did NOT install the NVidia experience, the phyx driver, so on and so on.

Last time I did this, I installed the latest NVidia drivers from their website. Anyway, I’ve been playing GW2 for over and hour and no “application has been blocked from accessing the graphics processor” messages. (Just hope nothing else broke in the process.)

I’ll post in the NVidia forums and see if someone might have an idea?
