Guild Wars 2

I have 3-4 game crashes every 5-6 hours of play. I don’t think it is my machine. I haven’t had another game crash it in 3-4 years. I even had a couple of blue screens of death which I haven’t had since updating XP to SP3 when it first came out years ago. I thought I had finally got a stable MS system but then along came GW2.

There is no surer way of driving people away from a game than to have it crash all the time. I probably would have played another 4-6 hours today if it wasn’t for crashes.

This game will probably be high on the top 10 list of buggiest games of the decade.

And I do report my crashes when I can but the worst are usually not reportable as they freeze the computer & there’s no way to generate a report log.

Game has crashed twice now in the middle of a personal story instance. It’s a bit annoying when you’re 25 minutes into the instance & have to start again. I’ll be taking a break & probably will play Entropia Universe later.

I’ve just applied the recommended change to Maximum frame rate in the Nvidia settings so I’ll see if that makes any difference.

You didn’t post any system spec or log files or error codes. (see Part 1.2)

So best guess based on your story is “Out of Memory” crashes. (see Part 5.2 for workaround/fix)

Thanks Kirito

I’ve been checking & trying different fixes. I appear to have 2 issues. One is when on log-in the Character Select screen doesn’t load. The computer stops responding & I have to hard boot it.
The other issue is in-game crashes. They occur randomly often when teleporting or during a battle but have even occurred when I just move the mouse pointer. Whenever possible I send the reports off. I’ve checked my drivers are up-to-date as is DirectX. I tried the /3g switch but couldn’t log in so went back to my original boot settings. I’ve just run the Game Advisor & the test results are attached below. Also the latest error report.

c0000005 error often is due to some sort of driver issue or 3rd party overlays interfering. (see Part 5.5)

Noticed your drivers is half a year old, should try updating them. (See Part 1.1)

Nvidia says they are the latest drivers for my card & I haven’t been running Mumble or any other overlays. I’ll check tho & make sure something is not running in the background. Thx.
