Ah yeah, that is the only graphics settings that results in no crashes in WvW. No matter your hardware if you crank it up even a little bit you’ll get WvW crashes. Glad things have improved for you, though.
Also depends how long you’ve been logged in, certainly crashes less if you haven’t been on long even with big zergs so may be useful to take a few breaks here and there.
Breaks don’t help. It appears to be cumulative. The only thing that prevents crashes is restarting the client periodically (which doesn’t help in queued zones like WvW or world bosses).

After auto detected, the graphic setting gets some improvement: environment, texture and shaders are upgraded to medium. Hope I won’t get crash today.

When I said break I meant closing the game or even the machine.
One more thing is that the mosaic crashes seems not happen again. It was very annoying when the screen becomes mosaic, game would crash soon.
From the horrid nightmare of my previous laptop the sony vaio, that was the last machine I used mainly before joining the right side of computing that is Apple… Those messy colours are super bad, wasn’t too long after I was getting them in a game that my vaio kept crashing and not be able to work outside safe mode for long, later it won’t get past startup anymore…. Sometimes, if the client or my mac feels I’ve played too much, particularly wvw my map will have messed up colours… The map itself is very poorly made, the zooming is wasteful on the processing and has caused me many crashes last year.

This colours-crash problem can happen on my mac any time, not related to how long I’ve been playing. It can happen in wvw or events within 5 mins after login. I even don’t know what cause this display failure. I’m not sure whether it is related to opening inventory since I used to salvage items during fighting or events.
