Guild Wars 2

UPDATE: I talked to a friend of mine who is an ANET dev, and he said they released a stealth update for gw2 which kinda ‘nerfs’ SSDs…. I’ve had my SSD for 1.5 years and never had a problem with gw2 or anything else, but after my clean install I’ve had these issues.

Basically the update puts an extraneous load on your SSD causing it to freeze up, why ANET doesn’t want us to use SSDs remains a mystery. Maybe people are loading in too fast? or who knows… I’m using a WDC 7200 RPM HDD atm and all my previous issues are gone. Hopefully they won’t nerf my GPU next for looking too nice… Corporations. Anyone remember back when they banned Kripparrian for “farming weapons that sell for ‘too much’ gold”…. And you got xbox micro transactions completely out of control, stupid republicans, bad enough they want to ruin the world, now they gotta ruin gaming.

My PC specs are godly overkill. I can run the game at 60 fps, I can browse with lightning speed – but I just did a clean install of windows, updated all my drivers but when I download gw2 I can download just fine, but as soon as I open my web browser, my PC freezes.

I can browse just find, but as soon as I open gw2 to download, my PC freezes.

what should I do? maybe just let gw2 finish downloading and see what happens? I would but it goes from 4mbps and slowly down to 0kbps and that’s it… I have a 100mbps connection….

UPDATED*****

1) Do us all a big favor and keep politics out of the tech forum.

2) I don’t believe for a minute that they did anything to affect SSD’s, much less that you talked to a “friend” that is an “Anet Dev.”

As far as your browser issue, you probably installed an add-on or toolbar that pegs your CPU usage or causes the browser to be unstable. You might want to check that out.
