Full system crash after bug report CONFIRMED
Hasn’t anyone else experienced this?! So far from my search, I have only seen one other. But if it’s repeatable, I consider this an issue.
I have experienced something similar. In my case, if I log out to the character select screen, then immediately log in to a different character before the character model has rendered, the game will crash. Regardless of what I’ve done prior to logging out. Can’t say I’d guarantee a 100% reproduction rate on my system, as I’m typically not in that much of a hurry, but I can safely say it has been happening far too often under those specific circumstances for it to be just blind (bad) luck.
If you are allergic to these ingredients, do not consume.
Bummer. Judging by the Mac bug, it may very well be a graphical issue. I reproduced this again on the pc today just so I could view the report that gets sent to Anet and it mentions some graphical references, so, it’s definitely a graphical reference possibility.
Thanks for adding your feedback as well.
Hopefully, they can look into this a bit for us and using your example and mine, find a solution to the issue.

ive been getting a blue screen of death error from GW2 for almost a month now, only game that causes my whole PC to crash…
Does yours occur after a bug report? Or when switching characters?

seems fairly random in my case but if you read back in the forums a page or 2 you will find multiple posts from lots of people having similar issues, so not 100% sure if its a hardware issue that everyone has or if Anet messed something up
Yeah I read most of those in their entirety, but none seem to match this one. This is completely repeatable using very specific steps and avoidable by doing something as simple as waiting and not following through. Otherwise, neither of my systems have any major crashing problems, let alone whole system lock ups. Ths isn’t even a kernel panic. Thanks for your input though.
I can’t imagine that it is my luck to have 2 completely different computers with completely different operating systems and specs to exhibit the exact same crashing behaviour with 2 very different outcomes, this has to happen to others, it can’t just be me. This takes literally under 2 mins to test and recreate.
There are multitudes of others posts, all saying the same 5 things and because I use one thread, it gets shoved to the bottom never to be seen. It’s Tuesday already, Monday blues should be gone lol.
Anyone else able to get this crash using the method I described? This crash will occur on a PC or a Mac, it’s the same steps either way. Thanks in advance.

Sigh, I can reliably reproduce this on 2 different systems by doing it quickly, if no one else can, well that’s not going to help. Bummer. And I have zero problems on these systems, this s the only true crash I can cause or typically happens (other than the WvW crashes on the Mac). Thanks for trying.
Can anyone else check or acknowledge this? I really would like to see if any others have this issue.
This is the only crash I’ve had on either system other than the crashes that occurred after the culling update in WvW on the Mac. PC has never crashed otherwise, but that one doesn’t go into WvW either.

Hi there Kyllaa – Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply to your thread. I was able to reproduce a crash on my own system following the steps that you outlined. While I didn’t experience a full system crash I did experience a client crash and so we’re going to be investigating this issue a little further. I appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention and in such detail!
Thank you thank you thank you so much!
Btw, the Mac client is the only one I can get a full crash on.
This issue is still occurring

Hey there Kyllaa – Just checking in. Are you still experiencing this issue?
Ooh, I will have to test this again. I’ll follow up afterwards.
It would appear that this issue has been resolved on the Mac. I was able to quickly logout from one character and immediately onto another with no crash. I’ll keep tabs again the next time I need to file a bug report in-game.
I cannot test this on the pc though since my tv was hijacked and moved to another room lol. But if it’s not locking my Mac, I can only imagine it will be 10 times better on the pc
Thank you so much for getting this worked on for us!
3 cheers and a hug to you!!!!!!
