Guild Wars 2

(won’t let me submit a support ticket on this for some reason... probably the DXDIAG making it too long)

Hello, I recently upgraded my GPU from a Nvidia gtx 770 to a PAIR of R9 290X’s in crossfire. Gw2 will load to character select, but freeze upon attempting to change render sampling, resolution, or load into any map. By using the maploadinfo flag, I was able to determine that the freeze occurred at the STATE_READY_WAIT state, after all assets had been loaded. I am using 2 2560x1440 monitors in AMD eyefinity for a total resolution of 5120x1440. Using an SSD for both OS and gw2. Issue occurred on both 32bit and 64bit clients.
running latest AMD Crimson drivers.

DXDIAG attached.

You can contact the Tech CS Team via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Submit a Request’ for assistance.

They will ask you for any attachments in their reply, should they have need.

Good luck.

Does Guild Wars 2 even support setups like that being on DirectX 9 ? o.o

Two monitors? How’s that working out for ya (well, with the exception it doesn’t at the moment). Where’s your character at when only using two monitors?

You talking about where it is on the screen? Well you actually can move the camera to the left or right of the character using a slider in options.

Yes, when the setup was working I shifted my character to the right.
It appears that the display spanning + freeze issue is not confined to gw2 – got similar results attempting to play Star Citizen 1.3 Alpha. I think I’ll contact AMD and just use a single monitor for now… The Oculus Rift is slated for Q1 2016, so I think I will hold out until then.

Ah yes, forgot about that. But also, center of view with only two monitors would be right between the two monitors, right? Never seen one play like that…

Yeah, I can’t imagine gaming on two monitors. That seems super annoying

I have decided to give up on dual screens. After switching off eyefinity, however, the problem persists – in gw2 only. This implies a crossfire issue, or a driver incompatibility. Anyone else having issues with using the gw2 crossfire profile on the 64bit client?
