Guild Wars 2

For the past several days my game has been completely freezing from anywhere between 5-10 seconds then resumes normally. Nothing moves including the mouse cursor. Music continues to play and then sounds continue as soon as it’s done freezing. It’s always random and anywhere on the map. It’s very immediate with no warning such as slower and slower FPS. It’s just a dead stop freeze. The number of players doesn’t seem to affect it because it has happened with just 5 others around and then 100+ during events. It happens about 3-4 times per day. Another small issue that some others have had is that while changing maps sometimes objects don’t appear for several seconds and you can see through parts of the map. Here is the specs on my computer and in game settings.

Note* I did install the GTX 770 a few weeks ago as a replacement for the GTX 660 Ti and did not have said issues before. However the issues described have only been happening for the past week.

Is this a known bug since a recent patch? Anyways, thanks so much for reading this lengthy message and hope you can help out!

Getting exactly the same problems…. Can anyone advise… (Note.. This wasn’t happening before the recent patch and i have changed nothing on my system)

I have the exact same issues as the OP. It’s been happening since February on and off though.

I have a i7-3770k cpu so that helps with how cpu dependent the game is, but I only have a gtx 670 gpu, so less than the OP on that one.

I think it is a gpu crash from my own gpu crash logs. I read that gw2 and Nvidia have had some compatibility issues from the get go.

Try uninstalling your GPU drivers (not your motherboard/chipset drivers, just your graphics card). Reboot. Run a driver clean-up utility and/or CCleaner or some other disk cleanup utility of your choosing. Install graphics driver. If it’s your graphics driver, this may solve it.

same here, in eotm all got huge lags, freeze, and eventually dc. even with vpn…

Did all that and nothing changed. Probably some bug in the game that intermittently affects random people.

This has been going on since the patch, to allot of people. over a third of everyone I play with. There has been numerous posts regarding this and yet no one from Anet has even bothered to make an effort to investigate by the looks it.

and still disconnected, i lowered all graphism, got a vpn, still not working …
