[PC] Crash upon launch
It’s windows 10 with it not officially released yet there is no game support for it its most likely a driver that is causing the crash your only hope at this time is to go back to Windows 7 or 8 till 10 is officially released and all the drivers get approved and updated and Anet tests the game on it and works out any bugs that 10 will cause but this will take time even after 10 is released.
put the correct term in but not everyone has kittens
Windows 10 <— that’s the problem.
Even though plenty of other people are having the exact same issue with windows 7, 8 and 8.1… What’s going back to those OS’ going to do again?
I have no issues running the game on Windows 7.
because that instantly means every single person ever has no issues on windows 7
I’ve resolved this myself, compatibility mode. Thanks for the advice cough
Just to reiterate; My ATI dll issue was resolved on Windows 10 by setting it to compatibility mode with Windows 8
because that instantly means every single person ever has no issues on windows 7
Only IF they have other PC problems.
Furthermore, I’ve never had an issue updating OR playing the game – which was exactly the same when I played World of Warcraft (for 5 years, mind you). Let me clarify that WoW did have server issues on occasion, but that was really obvious and affected everyone. Despite the server issues, I was still able to update the game without problems. I haven’t encountered these server issues with GW2.
Some people don’t know the proper way to build or configure their PCs for gaming. As an electronics and computer tech (for over 30 years), I don’t have such issues. This means that the PC builder (or perhaps, buyer) either doesn’t know how to configure their computer, or they don’t know enough to build one properly.
Then they complain when it doesn’t work properly. I’ve never had this problem with ANY modern MMO (I play Rift as well). Sometimes, internet providers throttle (shape) traffic. This has nothing to do with the GW servers AND THEY CAN’T FIX IT.
I play an elementalist on the Isle of Janther server. I log in and play daily WITHOUT ISSUES. Common sense will tell you that THAT is not a server issue.
Good day.
Edited to clarify WoW’s server issues.
