I’ve been playing GW2 for a few days, but this issue is causing me a lot of problems to the point the game is unplayable. I can’t go 5-10 minuets with it turning into a black screen, and 95% of my deaths are due to this issue. It used to be manageable until I reached Kessex Hills which resulted in the problem occurring far more often.
What happens is occasionally the game will turn into a black screen, with only the music and mouse cursor still being visible. Sometimes it returns to the game after 5 or so seconds and lets me play as normal, sometimes it returns to the game with massively low FPS, and sometimes it just stays that way, holding a black screen until I exit from the game with Task Manager. Very rarely does the screen go into the Blue screen of death, but it has happened once out of the 100 times its happened. When I exit, Nvidia warns that the driver stopped responding, but has recovered.
I’ve tried clean installations of my drivers, and have it updated to the latest 310.9, while my Nvidia control panel is set to application controlled AA as suggested in the sticky.
Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 285 1gb
CPU: Intel Core i7, 920 2.67GHz
RAM: 6 GB
Vista 64-bit
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I can’t play without screaming at my screen and getting depressed.
