Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, just looking for a bit of info here. This maybe the wrong group, don’t know. I’ve been having constant crashes with my game. Today, I’ve managed to replicate it and isolate the apparent cause. It will only crash with a “drawn” hammer while strafing or turning (on keyboard). All other weapons work fine, no issues. Likewise with hammer stowed, no issue. But hammer drawn (in combat) and strafe (double tap Q, E) or turn (A,D) and crash everytime. Weird, huh?

I’ve sent a crash report to ArenaNet hoping for some info? Just wondering if anyone out there may have seen this before.

You’re not alone, I’ve been crashing as well, losing sound with some of the weapons, crashing in WvW, dungeons and idling in La as well. I haven’t had any problems with game crashes until the most recent Flame and Frost update.

So just for something to do, I scrolled through the latest crash report and it seems to me, the constant crashes are coming from “missing textures”. I’m not a tech support guru, so these numbers don’t mean a whole lot to me, but the plain english wording seems to suggest it. Here is a snippet from my crash report:

Model ‘0×019740’: Missing anim or fallbacks: wgtrunfidl

Model ‘0×0106d3’: Can’t link child ‘0×00df9a’ to parent bone ‘root’, there’s no bone with that name. Linking to root instead
Model ‘0×0106d3’: Can’t unlink child ‘0×00df9a’ from parent bone ‘root’, there’s no bone with that name.

If I’m wrong, and this means something else, OK. Can this be hardware/graphic/memory issues with my system, or is this a coding issue, etc.

Once again, any info is appreciated.

You can try using the -repair switch to repair the gw2.dat file if it is damaged, which it might be. It might be a problem with reading the data from the hard drive, so make sure the hard drive is A-Ok.

I doubt it has something to do with RAM if its the same addresses coming up and same textures/animations/whatever.

If any of that doesn’t fix it, I’m not sure, try moving the game to another hard drive if possible. Other than that, I’d wait and see what ArenaNet says on the matter.
