Guild Wars 2

So I have been playing for a while on a rig and all has worked great. Recently, the SSD in my gaming rig went out, and I am using a platter drive I had from my previous rig. Befire the SSD died, I ran the game on max settings fairly smooth.

The Problem: If I play the game in any setting other than the absolute lowest then I will typically crash within minutes. In WvW, in LA, in Personal Story instances, doesn’t matter. Many times I will see the “rainbow color” menus. I can’t even set the game to one level higher on the “Model Limit” setting without crashing.

I have done the following:
-Reloaded video card drivers
-Reloaded DirectX June 2010 SDK and latest web installer (web installer says all is updated)
- Deleted GW2.dat and re-downlaoded
- Deleted the Document folder GW2 local.dat file

The game is literally unplayable in any setting other than absolute lowest. The crash log always screams of various types of missing models or texture errors. I really thought deleting the dat and getting a fresh one would correct the issue but it had no help at all. Any idea at all would be greatly beneficial. I have a gaming rig that has run at max settings for many months. The only difference is that I am running 32 bit Windows 7 instead of 64 Bit, so had to drop from 8 gigs to 4 gigs.

That first log looked different, maybe cause I was leaving a story instance when the crash happened. This log looks more regular. This just happened while doing the Jormag event.

Oh, and I also JUST reloaded brand new up to date video card drivers. And yes, I completely uninstalled the previous video card driver software. I was laoding the game up for the first time after the reload to test. Took a matter of minutes before I crashed. GW2 is the only thing on my computer giving me issues. Please help?!?

Actually, you’re at ~3 gigs. Windows cannot allocate much more than 3GB; we can see that below.
“Physical: 475MB/ 3045MB 15%” Windows is only allowing

That is your issue; you are running out of memory. Drop your graphics settings down and you should be fine in the interim. However, you really need to go back to a 64-bit system.

It is a 4 Gig Ram Module, I assure you. It says that in the log due to the Windows 7 32 bit RAM limit. The availability of ~3 Gigs is due to the ram being shared amongst other hardware/software.

I would really hope that is NOT causing the problem, as most anyone with a 32 bit Windows installed with max RAM loaded for the OS would have very similar numbers and would exhibit similar problems.

The error is registering as “OOM” or Out of Memory. The process is exceeding a memory limit.
