Hi Gamers.
As many of us know, alot of people have problems with the famous ´´ black screen ´´
I started to play Gw2 6 days ago and in the first days i had no problems with that.
4 days later i got BSOD since the Win8 yet has compatibility problems with driver updates.
I´m playing with a friend and his pc is older than mine.
He uses an ATI Rdeon and i use a Nvidia.
What i see is that most of the problems are related to players who have Nvidia.
I tried to changed configs, changing to max speed pc.
I installed this programs:
- Regcure Pro ( gold member of Microsoft, you can trust this program, cleans junks,remove spywares, fix windows issues like incompatible files ( recomended for the users of Win8 or Win8.1 because i´m using Win8.1 and most of the BSOD ( bluescreen ) come from incompatible updates of graphic card or sound cards.
- FurMark ( i do not recomend to use this program to the max, for the ones who does not know this program, it can pux your pc to the max, before using this search for more information about the problem, but also a good choice to check if your pc has no problem in running GW2.
- CPUID HW Monitor ( This program was already been posted on this frum throught a link. It can check Voltages, cores temperatures, etc etc.
- Malwarebytes Anti Malware ( this is also another spyware/malware protection so i´m sure i have no problem with virus and also is not the cause for black screen problems.
But..
Few moments ago i thought if i connected a second monitor since i´m on a laptop and i use a second monitor trhought HDMI.
When i was playing GW2 and the blackcreen happened, i connected the second monitor to my laptop, what means that the resolution of the computer will change.
Throught it the black screen will dissapear and will see the game again without being disconected and you can still be playing like if nothing happened.
The truth is: The result of Blackscreens is not because of windows incompatibility, CPU temperature, Drivers, defects on the GW2 instalation. The problem is in the game and is own resolution/files on the patches that have been made, because i dont have problems playing other games.
And since i could counter a blackscreen with a simple monitor by changing the resolution automatically, the problem of the blackscreen has not to be with the router/wireless definitions
If you check this, the black screen only happens if you have GW2 expanded on your windows, because if you have it minimized, you can be doing something else with GW2 opened but minimized and nothing will happens, only if you have the GW2 expanded on your screen.
I can run full resolution and newer games than GW2 like GTA5, CoD, etc.
Not being so offensive or saying something out od the context, the people who are taking care of the game, also the forum admins shouldn´t be always blaming our computer´s for this and for that.
Welcome to the 21 Century where google is our best friend and before we come here to post our problem, like me, i try to solve it by myself and search in every corner for a solution. Where most of the teenager people know at least a bit about computer and also google has all the information we need
I see alot of people saying that other games run well but only GW2 fails on the black screen. If this only happened to 1, 2 or 3 people i wouldnt say this was a game problem but is not 1,2 or 3 and i dont need to tell how many people are.
To finish, most of the people i´ve seen complaining about the black screen is a Nvidia user as me, so, maybe you can do somethingabout it.
