I have been playing guild wars 2 since launch on “auto detect”, which typically sets the graphics to low and medium. If I want to however, I am usually able to set it to best appearance in order to take screenshots or preview items.
However this last week I haven’t been able to set my graphics settings to “Best Appearance” without the entire game crashing with this message (screenshot attached). I have submitted the report through that pop-up about 5 times now with no fix. Does anyone know what I can do to solve this issue?

I see you are in Lions Arch, move to an isolated area such as Phinney and try setting to Best Appearance.

That;s because best appearance now maxes the character limit and character quality settings.

if you don’t have enough ram, or a good enough CPU when you set that ‘best appearance’ it will crash your system.
