Guild Wars 2

I experience crashes during world boss events. It happens part way through the event, and forces me to restart the client.
Today I got two crashes. The first crash happened at the start of Kill Admiral Taidha Covington, and the last at Karka Queen about 20 sec after it spawned.

Specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.50GHz
8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z77X-D3H
3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (EVGA)

Do you have a very large monitor and everything on very high ?

It seems you hit the point where GW2 needed more memory than even 64-bit windows
can provide to a 32-bit application :

• Process Memory <—*
  Private: 3577MB
  WorkingSet: 3346MB
  PeakWorkingSet: 3512MB

I would lower at first maybe the character modell limit ..

limit or quality
Anet needs to start thinking of how to code zerg gameplay better with modern hardware

I’ll try setting some of them a little lower then.

Or make a 64-Bit Client.

SOE at least leaves 32-bit totally behind with EQNext / Landmark.

a 64bit client would fix these types of crashes. The private working set of 32bit of 3.5GB (give or take a few hundred MB).

The only fix is to reduce the number of players on the screen so that your Client doesn’t have to cache all the textures and such.

I used to crash all the time at Teq, then I moved my char limit to medium. No more crashes. That really says something.

Ya I had a crashed client today at teq. I guess I will have to go medium on char limit

this is helpful im have this issue, i think they should make a 64

The only best way is to make a 64bit client. I’ve checked your crashlog, Presac and Norris. The limitation of a 32bit was reached.

From Presac (OOM: Heap):

Virtual Memory…. ~250 MB

and still counting… (12x more between 2800 and 3600 MB of private process memory).

Btw… you can set the texture detail from high to medium… it saves up to 1GB of private process memory…
