Guild Wars 2

Crashing more after update, seems every 15 mintues in the new event It gives me some crash error when I press ok it closes game.

Yeah, same here. Crashes were very rare before the patch. I’m running a high end computer but still using WinXP for compatability with some old programes I use for work.

It looks to me & others have said WinXP can no longer supply enough memory.

I’m going to instal 64bit Win7 & see if that helps. Dunno what I can do about my work stuff but hopefully I can find something that works in Win7.

Crazy, post your system specs & your crash log.

You crash log is arenanet.log (my documents/guild wars 2) and you need to export it as a .txt then attach it using more posting & formatting options below.

Burntb, let us know how you go.

@ Kyllaa.

I will but it will be a few days. I have to clear some work stuff before I can do the Win7 install.

Been having the same problem. I wish we had the 64 bit upgrade to install and test out. Let us know if it improves your issues!

Nami, search around the Internet, you might be able to find a new genuine win 7 -64bit install disk for a reasonable amount.

Well, it’s been a few days. I was forced into doing the upgrade from XP to 64bit Win7 because my hard-drive was corrupt after the last game crash. I lost all data (including account password) & had to get tech support to help me recover my account.

The good news is, with a fresh game install & running on 64bit Win7 I’m not getting the out of memory crashes I was getting when I was running on XP. My fps has improved by about a 3rd with much less lag during large wvw battles.

I can’t be certain the crashes were only related to XP’s limited ram because I have also got a fresh game install. So, those that can’t upgrade to 64bit might want to try a clean game install.

Well, glad to hear you we’re able to get something working, it’s unfortunate you lost your data, but at the very least, passwords are easily enough recoverable.

Now that you’ve bypassed the out of memory problems, if you have any further issues, start a new thread for it, but let’s hope you’re in the clear now! At least for awhile lol. ;p
