Guild Wars 2

No idea why it’s happening. I’ll attach the crash log. Basically just happens when I log in, usually when I’m interacting with an npc, or something needs to load like the TP, and sometimes happens on the character screen when I first start the client.

I am? Hmm. Maybe that’s what’s doing it. The clients are interchangeable aren’t they? I shouldn’t have to download everything again if I just save the client in the current directory?

Maybe that will fix it. I’ll give it a try and post again if there’s another crash. Thanks!

I recently started playing on the Mac (OSX El Capitan Ver. 10.11.3), and what I’ve noticed is that my game has a tendency to freeze up/crash at random intervals, and also make the color display on the cut scenes distorted (it’s fine for everything else). Any recommendations?

Unfortunately probably not much you can do but turn down settings to see if that helps. The Mac client runs through a cider port (which slows things even more) and is only available in 32-bit. There is word that Anet is working on a native Mac client but last word it was still in early testing with no promises that it will be completed.

Other than that the other option is to use a bootcamp Windows partition which will also allow you to run the 64-bit client. This is what I finally ended up doing once the 64bit client was released and the performance is much, much better and I can run the game on medium and some high settings fine. The main down sides of course are having to install Windows on a Mac (but I only use it for the game so I’m not too worried) and having to reboot to switch between OSX and Windows when you want to play the game.
