Guild Wars 2

I just bought and downloaded GW2 and when i enter the game world i get odd objects floating around on screen and eratic blue lines. I updated my graphics drivers like i saw in other posts but still nothing. Maybe they arent being used for some reason? Plz help.
Specs: Intel pentium b940 processor
2.0ghz, 2mb l3 cache
intel hd graphics
15.6 hd led lcd
4gb ddr3 memory
500 gb hdd
and i believe i have 4gb of ram,

i downloaded a couple of VGA drivers from here http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3681

You have a entry level lap top that’s not made to game on. You’r right at the mim on the processor and the graphics are below the mim you have HD 2000. Buy something to play games on.

Is there no other way to fix it then to buy a new comp? the problem seems fairly minor and i can play with it, but its really a nuisance. i’ve seen far worse graphical errors fixed with a driver update

Update drivers directly from intel.com (See Part 1.1)

I end up at the link i provided. i dont know which one to download i have already downloaded this one, but no change.

knowing the model of the notebook would help

its an aspire 5750z-4217

is it a 32bit or 64bit operating system.

the chip in that processor is based on the HD2000 (dual channel desktop i3 – i7)

GuildWars 2 minimum requirements is a HD3000+ (quad channel desktop i7)

downloading and running the driver package @ http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3319&DwnldID=22375 might help.

i was incorrect earlier in claiming that the 2000 had issues, it is the same architecture as the hd3000 so the driver update should fix things.

thank you! i will update later if it fixed

The url didnt work but i found the page, can you indicate which driver to download?
i tried a few for my system but they said i didnt have the minimum requirements.

sorry, the forum is corrupting the url

http://goo.gl/QmJOK should work no problems

I have a similar problem. Except it isnt a single blue line. Theres just blue squares appearing around my character or random object while i go pass them. Or just stand there and look from a random angle at a map. It is quite annoying especially on Sylvari maps as i cant see anything.
Heres some info about my Laptop.

HP Pavilion dv6

Processor: AMD Phenom™ II N620 Dual-Core Processor (2 CPUs) ~2.8GHz

Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470

same deal, upgrade your display drivers

Can any one direct me to a link please? I looked up stuff but im not the hawk in this things If you catch my meaning. lulz

I would be greatfull.

when the download completes it says that it cant be verified?
i tried again and same thing

screenshot the error by pressing alt+prtscrn and paste it into paint, then save as a jpg

the download worked. and the problem is fixed. thank you very much for the support.

After downloading this http://goo.gl/QmJOK and attempting to install it. An error comes up and im told that my “Computer dosnt have the minimum requierments.” Any help please

Kacman, what the heck >.<

you have an ATI chip, that download is specifically for Intel chips.

you need to go to the AMD downloads site and check download from there.

Oh crap xD. Soz man my bad. As i said earlier im not the hawk in it. xD

For all ati/ amd graphics card users i had the exact same issue it is a glitch with the switchable graphics card not registering GW2 as something that requires high performance, in order to fix this go into “catalyst control” and set you graphics options to “always on high performance” and this should fix the issue

Hi everyone,

I am having a similiar issue. I too have weird coloured boxes and lines everywhere on my screen. It’s unplayable.

I have tried downloading all of the driver updates and bios from Hp – All seem up to date.
I have switched to high performance in catalyst and always trying to run on administrator.

I am at a total loss on what to try next.
