Guild Wars 2

for the past 2 days i’ve been getting a lot of error (mostly late at night) when i try to open the game and sometimes when i do get in it kicks me as soon as i zone into a new place… all my windows updates, drivers etc are up to date, i even got rid of all my antivirus software and turned all my firewalls off… i even reinstalled the game and i’m still having problems… is this something you guys already know about or is it something on my end?

Hy um my problem is allmost the same but my problem start’s when it download’s the 1mb thing at the launcher and then it gives mi a message:
“Unable to veryfy the Guild Wars 2 Executable. Please try again.If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall the application, or contact Customer support.”
Dident try re installing bc dont have time atm hoping it’s something server related bc i have a solow connection and it would take me forever to download everything again ;/

it honestly sounds like the gw2.exe is corrupted.

Yes! Someone actually understands my frustrations! I have this exact same problem too. I took it a step further, and reported it to PlayNC Support. I do not know if it is actually safe to qoute PlayNC’s responses, but I can tell you that the issue does not lie in the Guild Wars 2 client. Instead, it’s more about the fact that you’re using a 32-bit operating system, and have greater than 3G.B of RAM, or memory. Yes, it is very complex; for example, if you have 4.0G of RAM, and run a 32-bit OS, the OS will only utilize 3.5GB of RAM. If, like myself, you have around 4.0G of RAM, then all I can say is that we have to upgrade our operating systems. These errors we are getting are what are called “out of memory” errors, and result in crashes, and quite possibly even graphics issues.

This problem started happening to me, when my game client first crashed originally, about 3 weeks ago. And, this happens every day, and it doesn’t matter what the time of day is. The first thing that happened was the game client crash, and then graphics issues; a teal border appearing around in-game panels, such as the bank tab, or the Trading Post/Gem Store tab. Also, my mouse cursor often turns into a black rectangle, after a certain amount of time of being logged into the game. When these graphics issues appear, they lead to a crash.

I hope I was able to answer your question, Skithryx. I recommend setting up a PlayNC Support Account, via Guild Wars 2 official site, if you have not already. On the main webpage, click “SUPPORT” located next to “FORUMS”, in the top-most banner of the site. This will open a new tab, and take you to a PlayNC Support page, dedicated and used solely for Guild Wars 2. The account you make is separate from your Guild Wars 2 game account, and are not linked to each other – so you need to remember the account info that you register with. It is used mostly for technical issues, like the ones you and I are experiencing.

While Windows can only utilise 3.2-3.7GB (Depending on hardware installed), this is then further broken down into the 32bit address space limits of 2GB/2GB for Kernel/User space.

Engine resources might only appear to consume <1.5GB of working set, but when you factor in graphics resource as well, this can send the Virtual Size past the 2GB limit, which is where the crash generally comes from.
Under a 64bit operating system, 32bit applications (if they are compiled to be Large Address Aware) can use 4GB’s of User address space.
