Guild Wars 2

While I have not many problems playing the game (sometimes the Auction House doesn’t show up but unlogging / logging again solves almost always the problem), I have one when I quit the game.

Almost all the time it’ll freeze my computer : I can move the mouse but nothing else. Click doesn’t work, screen is frozen, keyboard doesn’t respond… I tried to wait a while, but after 15 minutes still nothing. The only solution is the hard reboot…

When it happens i can see nothing special in the console.

My hardware is : macbook pro 15" retina, 2,6Ghz i7 and 16Go ram, running on 10.8.4

Can I ask if you are doing anything in particular just before this crash? How do you close your client (game menu option, X, logout to char select then close, etc)?

I ask because there used to be a bug that if you filed an in-game bug report, then QUICKLY (this was key) closed the report confirmation notice, then hit eskittenil the menu came up, quickly chose logout to character select screen, then either immediately logged on another character or closed the game, it would cause a system crash that required a hard power down to regain control of your system. The sound still payed without fault until it reached the end of the cycle, the video card would cease heavy use and your fans would spin down as if just sitting on the desktop, but you couldn’t tab, force quit, or get the shut down menu to function.

I was assured this was fixed several months ago since it was pc and mac client mutual, but I only tested it once or twice intentionally due to learned cautiousness.

Any other details you can think of may help, but I am unable to reproduce this crash (MacBook pro late 2011).

Regards to tp issues, try this instead of rebooting next time:

1. Open your trading post (leave this open until finished)
2. Open your options panel
3. Change the language to French
4. Wait for the trading post to reload in French
5. Change the language back to English (anglais)
6. Test trading post

This may initiate an easily fixable gamma bug on your system upon the language switch, but after reverting to your default language, just keep your options panel open and move the gamma slider a bit. Beats closing and crashing every time!
