Guild Wars 2

i don’t know how to best put this so i’ll do my best to best explain my problem. I also want to say that the driver version is the beta version 306.02 for the gts 450 series. I should also say this is a slight annoyance at best for the time being but i would imagation that it would be a huge problem when there is a world event going on and the game decided to blow up on me. Without further-a-do…

every so often, my game client crashes just as soon as i alt-tab out, using the way point, or even entering a dungeon.

I am just curious if this is normal behavior for the client.

Not as far as I’m concerned, never had problems with the client crashing whatsoever. Alt-tabbing, changing resolution, windowed etc.
I had a gts450 before, which was replaced yesterday by a 660ti.

Try a “clean installation” in your driver, it gave me so many bugs in GW2 that I always recommend that. lol
I just got crashes when: I got a high OC in my 550TI or I used less core than my processor got.
It happens in all video configurations?

ill try that clean installation and see how that goes. If not, it is probably time to upgrade to a 500 gt series

660Ti is a great value, performing slightly better than the 580 and at a lower price.

oh i just read about that too. super sexy from what i read. i am just not sure that my PSU will be able to support it.

Can you attach your dxdiag perhaps? or is there gw2 crash log in your Documents\Guild Wars 2 folder?

Side note : There’s also a non-ti version 660GTX slightly slower hovers around $230.

here is my dxdiag.txt but idk how much that is going to help but here is the post.

I also have a GTS 450. When set on autodetect I would crash about every 15-45 minutes. I have found that by setting it on best performance I can play almost indefinitely without a crash. I was even able to move a few things to medium like textures and animation with no negative impact on play.

Now today, I installed the latest Nvidia drivers and set to autodetect and still same issue (game ran incredibly smooth and looked amazing before the crash but it still locked up and crashed). Each time I get the ‘Memory could not be accessed’ or some such message. I did ALOT of waypoint ports this evening and found that I would crash about 15-20% of the time with my frequent porting.

Love the game, just want to be able to play on the higher settings so I can see the beauty that they have put into this game.

Oh and for those interested. my cpu and gps temps sit around 40 and 65 respectively at crashes. Also I am never maxxing out the GP or cpu processes, even when the crashes occur. There is a mega thread called ‘Crashing’ on here and no real resolution to this issue has been found, or any word from Arenanet yet.
