Guild Wars 2

So i’m using w8.1(got it for free, bf4 not crashing on it) and this is the first time i’ve had problems with it, if it is related to win8.1 that is.
Is there any way to fix this other than disableing my other monitor or running windowed?
And why in the …. is it only gw2 that has problem with double monitors, seems like double monitors is kinda becoming quite common nowdays..

Here is the full error message

message too long for this forum so i put it on pastebin http://pastebin.com/jpUu66Lf

You are using 11G out of your 16G of ram when that crash happened. But GW2 was only using 900Megs. There are also A LOT of pagefaults for that little of memory.

First, find out what is using 11G in your system, Second Verify that your RAM is actually good (run memtest86+ for 72hours).

—> System Memory <—
Physical: 11826MB/16063MB 73% <—- 11G of ram used out of 16G
Paged: 25784MB/32447MB 79% <—- Could be disk related since you are also paging alot of memory too
Virtual: 2963MB/ 4095MB 72%

Private: 911MB

PeakWorkingSet: 175MB
PageFaults: 248137 <—— Very high for such a small memory foot print.

if i don’t run double monitors the ram usage is fine, first i thought i had my ramdisk running but it’s not. have done a ramtest and it’s fine, it’s just seems to be gw2 throwing a massive fit cause i’m running 2 monitors.. .
Maybe some weird memory leak with gw2+windows 8.1, but i really don’t wanna switch back to win7 unless i know it will fix it

could be a memory leak and 8.1. you are using 11G of ram out of your 16G. That is really unheard of for a single game IMHO.

that and the game has TONS of pagefaults in the small memory footprint it took during the crash sample you gave.

what about finding updated video drivers? Maybe that is part of the issue (I run 3 monitors in Eyefinity and do not have any crashes like this).

i’m already runnig latest AMD drivers, but rolling back might actully help.. didnt think of that, i’ll try.

c0000005 is actually a stupidly generic windows error. Windows is basically saying, “I can’t do that, because I don’t have permissions”.

First thing, would be to make sure your running as an administrator.

hey! old drivers worked!
Thanks for reminding me about that :p
