Hello everyone .

I don’t know how to properly describe that, but let me at least try. I’ve read lots of topics here and seems like many players are struggling with game crashes. After “Fractalized” update I went to fractals one time and then I had some blackscreens – it seems like I am getting them in instanced zones, mostly, and seems like I am not the only one. But that’s not everything. After those crashes I started to have weird text textures in the places where exactly text should not be, I mean on the skill bar, on the hp, party bars, options etc. It happens also during character selection (appears on char avatars, daily timer). The more happens in the game in instances or in WvW, the more and faster (because it flashes) that text appears.

There will be no screens and no videos, because it dissapears during the video, and the same thing on the screenshots.

My graphic card is gtx 550 ti series, I have 8gb RAM.
Any solutions, ideas, questions?

It could be a couple of things the main on is overheating when is the last time you had your PC case open, if it’s been a few months or more use some canned air and blast that thing out you will be amazed at the amount of dust that can build up inside a PC In a short period of time even in the cleanest of houses. While your at it reseat the card take the card completely out and put it back in, having the card out will help to direct the canned air to do a more thrall job anyway. Reseat the ram to while your at it to. Is all your drivers up to date, and what version of Windows are you running make sure it is the 64bit so your system can use more than the 3.5 Meg of ram that is limited by the 32 bit Verizon of windows.

After dust removing nothing changed. Problem is still here. Should I reinstall the game?
Other games like league of legends, world of warcraft works normally. Is that even a graphic card or something else?

+ plus I have all drivers up to date so that also is not problem with that

It may be that you need more ram the game will run in 4gigs of ram but if you have to much stuff running in the background it will cause issues try closing out of some apps and programs you may have running, or get more ram. Also it might be a good idea to test your ram download and run memtest96 this will need to be burned to a cd. Set your PC to boot to cd and the boot your system with the Mentest cd and let it run for 24hr or at least over night do not use any windows based testing apps because they don’t work.

This sounds like your GPU is failing or overheating. It may also be caused by a graphics related program that uses overlays. A faulty power supply is another possibility, but yours is a good one, so I don’t suspect that in this case.

As Feirlista Xv.1425 said, try re-seating your graphics card and make sure that the power connector for it is connected tightly.

It’s not overheating. Tried today on maximum fan speed and the same.
Same with power. Card was re-seated and dust was removed. I think I did everything…
People in my legion says that’s is the game fault not my computer… I dont know what to do -.-

I didn’t catch this line when I first read it:

“There will be no screens and no videos, because it dissapears during the video, and the same thing on the screenshots.”

Try a different monitor.
