Guild Wars 2

Hi Guys,

The game loads fine and play fine and can do so for an hour or more some times, but I keep getting this error message…..

—> Crash <—*

This time I was only playing for 16 mins before it crashed! Is anyone else getting this and is there any known solution please???

Thanks

Yeah. I get that one, too. Happens once every 90 minutes to two hours. Used to have similar issues with Age of Conan. In AoC it was caused by memory leaks from zoning. This could be something similar.

Do you know if there is anyway to fix it ? Its seems to be happening every half hour now and is driving me mad lol

thanks

Can you post your system specs? IIRC, there is an issue with certain graphics drivers on 32-bit Windows that causes an out of memory error.

Out of Memory errors are likely to be memory leaks or buffer overruns, and require a code fix.

Its windows 7 32bit with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260…. Mine is going to be one of the graphics cards isn’t it??

Very likely, yes. I seem to remember it was 32-bit Win7 and nVidia drivers. You can search the forums to make sure. I can’t remember if updating driver versions (or downgrading) fixes it, or if the current suggestion is to upgrade to Win 7 64-bit. (someone mentioned it being a free upgrade to go from 32-bit to 64-bit Win7, if that option appeals to you)

Okay thanks for your help… I tried updating my drivers already, Maybe I will upgrade to windows 64 bit then.

Interesting…as i don’t have an nvidia card….

I had the same Out of Memory crashes (I too have a GTX 260) and have not crashed at all since making the following change (after running GW2.EXE with -repair):

Changed the Textures quality setting from nothing-selected to Low.

I suspect the memory issue is with video memory and not RAM because other users who have posted their logs with the same error had no more than 1024 MB of video memory (from their logs).

—Dyn

I ran the repair and changed to medium and it has not crashed once.. no error reports or nothing.

Thanks for the help.
