So, i started playing again recently and i did 2 times Mr Sunless and my game decided to suddenly freeze, some sound plays in the background, but i get no error message or what so ever, so i have to open task manager close it and then restart the client, this time it costed me the loot, so i go out and ask for help here.

Does someone know what may cause that?

I upgraded my CPU, board and RAM like 2-3 weeks ago and did a full reinstall.

CPU: I7 4790K (my old was an AMD 8 core CPU)
RAM: 16GB DDR3
GPU: ATI Sapphire Tri x R9 290x 4GB
I use 3 HDD, my game is not on the SSD currently.

Also..is it normal that the game runs like 20FPS in that fight? Not sooo important.

EDIT: I did find something now.

If you haven’t done so already, try dropping various settings to their minimum levels. Things such as character limit, texture quality and such can lead to significant memory thrashing.

I get a substantial amount of game crashes since Heart of Thorns as well. It also stops responding quite often. With 8GB of GDDR5 VRAM and 16GB of DDR3 RAM, you wouldn’t think Guild Wars 2 could fill the memory that easily, unless there is a memory leak. For that matter, it’d be nice if the coded focus on the CPU could be offloaded to the GPU by now. The game could perform so much better if it didn’t get bottlenecked by it overly relying on the CPU, as opposed to the GPU.
