Guild Wars 2

Just check the attachments.
Sometimes my whole character becomes this green-blue 3d model without texture, LA displays flashing white screens while moving (and moving the camera), all along with annoying lag spikes.

My PC specs aren’t that good, but never gave any problem, I’m aware that game crashes more often in 32-bits than 64-bits (I had to update, but I’ll change back to 64-bits soon). The specs are as follows:
i7 @2.80GHz
4GB RAM
nVidia GT 240
Windows 7 32-bits (I know it crashes often, but it doesn’t justify the graphics bug after the update)

Can someone or a dev give an input? Thank you!

PS.: I have like a few friends having this very same issue.

I’ve seen 2 other posts on this forum regarding this exact issue in the last week. 1 person fixed it by uninstalling and performing a fresh install of his video drivers, using the latest available. I saw one other more recently, but I can’t remember the outcome at the moment. I think a dev posted on it.

Search around, I know there were 2 separate posts about it. If you can’t find then and don’t get a response, check the sticky and submit a ticket.

Whatever your fix, please come back here and post it for others.

The recent one was my post, I thought of bringing the thread here as it seems this sub-forums are more appropriate for this kind of stuff.

Yes, it was. I still can’t find the other one where he re-installed his drivers and fixed it, but I was wondering your outcome.

Did you ever get it fixed? If so, how?

Not yet, waiting on the ticket.

Bugger! Hope you both get an answer soon though, what an odd issue to have.

Since the last patch my BF also has this issue. First started in AC path 1 in kohler’s room ie just like above posted pic. Since then has been also happening in AC final boss room path 1, cof path 1 final boss room, randomly ppl in party their icon will go to the blue/green rainbow graphics color and last night first time in char select screen. He runs a NVidia 9600 gt OC on windows 32 bit Vista. Never had issues until last patch dated April 30th. Core gpu temp while under load ie: in game is roughly 68-71 deg Celcius…blew card out reset fan speed to 65% and still having the same issues. reinstalled drivers…no go issues still happening…any answer for this would be appreciated.

ok..tried again..reinstalled drivers…kicked fan speed to 80% on card. will monitor….under load card temp 70 deg celcius and holding…if prob occurs again will try and post pics and update here.

i also have this problem like the first and 3th photo. already updated all my drivers etc but nothing helped.

This same thing is happening to my girlfriend. It’s a recent thing, and support figures its due to her 32-bit version of Win 8.

However, I am unconvinced.

I’ve tested video memory, reinstalled drivers, opened the case for more air circulation, and ran system tests.

Her system exceeds the minimum requirements, and my machine, which is slightly worse, has never shown this issue, nor crashed. The only difference is my GPU is Nvidia, and hers is ATI.

I’ve responded to support letting them know that I’m not convinced this has anything to do with being run on Windows 8 32-bit. We will see what they determine next.

Personally, I suspect that there is a memory leak in one of the recent patches. This started for my girlfriend around March patch. Before this, she was able to play, glitch/crash free since upgrading in January.

Hi, i run the same VGA and OS, i had the “cyan” graphic issue ( https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Cyan-to-Yellow-gradients-on-screen/first#post834806 ) since the Fractal patch; now , after the Flame & Frost: Retribution patch, this issue turned in “blue/green” squares in characters model and in HUD..plus crash more and more quickly.
I tried almost every tip discussed on this forum and and around on Internet (Nvidia 3D panel switches, low resolution, low specs, clean driver installation and so on) but nothing worked for me.
I know i have a old VGA but in the first month i was able to play in medium/high specs and higher resolution, now even with everything low/none and with lowest res. i notice crashes like every 10 mins (few when i take portals); before “F&F: Retribution” patch Dungeons and sPvP were good (the worst cyan issue was in LA) now i have graphic issues and crashes even there.
So it’s clear that the issue started with Fractals and now is worst with F&F, i think that a “fix-patch” would be the only viable way to get a point, there isn’t nothing (“self-fix” nor “workaround”) that WE can do about it.
Hoping to be wrong, i wait for news.
Thanks for the eventual reply

I’m having this exact same problem now and was wondering if anyone has found a way to fix it or indeed has Guild wars released anything to patch up this problem for us? It’s so annoying to get back into the game, start enjoying it and then crash after crash. :’( Not happy at all.

I have the same issue things will start turning blue/green images then eventually I will crash to desktop with long error message that doesn’t make sense to me. The only thing I make out everytime is something to do with memory which I don’t get. I run 2 pc’s with the exact same hardware except GPU’s I have a Nvidia 460gtx in one and a Nvidia 9800 gt in the other. My problem is with the 460gtx. Other pc never crashes.

Its weird, sometimes can play for hours before it happens other times it seems constantly happening. Hope they fix soon.

I have the same problem. and it crashes 2-5mins after this green thing happen.

This issue has become more frequent for me as well. I’m beginning to wonder if this might be what is causing my general crashing issues.

I made another thread regarding what I’m getting, I wonder if it is similar to what is happening to everyone else.

Bump, having the exact same thing, and didn’t seem anyone suggested a solution

Try underclocking your GPU to rull out any instability
