Guild Wars 2

My game was running fine before the last big patch few days ago, ever since I got that patch, my game started to crash at map loading screen on a frequent bases.

Did the new patch increased the requirement for system memory, cuz after the game updated, when I alt-tap out, everything else seem to react slower than usual, indicating that there is not enough memory, which has never happened before this patch.

Yes, I noticed that as well. I had a lot of crash issues before I got some brandnew memory so I know it’s nothing on my end because now I’ve been playing crashless for about a month. I’ve been freezing up and crashing like crazy in the last hour. Very reminiscent of the time my memory was faulty.

Thx Ayperi for ur feedback, at least now I know Im not alone in this issue. Im seriously a bit fed up with Anet, after that second last big patch I started to lag badly during peak hours, then after this new patch I started crashing, I mean does something else breaks everytime Anet releases a big patch? the game is becoming more and more unplayable atm.

That patch seems to be causing a lot issues. I hardly feel like playing at all now,
even though I would like to…

My FPS dropped by 10-15 FPS ever since and
I am not the only one.

The thread discussing the problem has been merged… again.
I am not sure if the issues get the attention they need.

Anyway, about the increased memory usage.

I noticed today that, since the patch, I am able to use high resoulution textures,
which were greyed out before.

I tryed activating them and noticed not even 1 FPS drop, so I
am only guessing, that since that patch high resolution textures are
always activated, no matter the actuall settings.

That COULD be an explanation for my and other´s FPS problems
and this crash issue.

I had the same issue starting yesterday afternoon after merely restarting the client because it was being so laggy. From that a series of crash messages upon startup followed and after reading them over I decided to change my ram, simple enough, however after that if I started the game it began to BSOD my computer any time I hit the PLAY button (no other game did this). So I uninstall and reinstalled the game (which was a fiasco within itself – it’d be nice if it didn’t freak out in Add/Remove programs or had an UNINSTALL option – anyway another hurdle down). Like normal it took forever to download and by the time it finished the login servers were down at that time. After the ‘fix’ from last nights left field maintenance everything worked fine again this morning, with no issue or complaints from the client opening.

I did run a memtest to make sure my current ram was fine and popped the old sticks in another computer and did the same to see if they were the same. No issue with either.

My memory usage is still at 3.16 GB the same as it was with the background programs I run.
Memtest will not always find a problem.

Great, now not only I crash abt once every 5-8 map loading, I also cant get email authentication for some reason, my email is working jus fine, so it seems Anet server is not sending it out for some reason, I manage to get it after like 4 or 5 tries, but only get one email, all the ones before it are mysteriously gone.

So not only I get kicked out of game, I also hav trouble logging back in now, this is getting really fun, maybe next patch I wil jus hit the uninstall button for even more fun.
