Guild Wars 2

Specifically, my intel 4000 card

Hi! I’m having issues leveling my ranger. I was in Kressex Hills (Halacon Cataracts area by the south bridge). I cannot log into my ranger or my game will render the area and immediately crash. I haven’t gone there on my other characters (Only one of which have it unlocked) for fear of it being a regional issue.

I can play with my engineer just fine. The original crash was at the Jade Quarry borderlands in the citadel and I crashed repeatedly afterwards. The Intel driver detector says I’m up to date (I used the one in the sticky). Anti Aliasing settings are already set to game settings.

While playing on my ranger, my graphics drivers will always crash, occasionally windows notifies me that Gw2.exe has been blocked from accessing the graphics hardware. Again, this is only when I log into my ranger.

Normally I play the game with the assistance of Razor Gamebooster (Disables unnecessary processes so more resources can be allocated to the game), Steam w/ steam overlay (Allows me to basically bring up a transparent window over GW2 to allow me to chat with friends, browse the internet etc without minimizing the game. Guild Wars 1 officially is on the steam store.) and TS3 overlay when in WvW (So I know who’s talking). Cant stress enough: No modified game files or advantages, just convenience and performance. Game crashes with and without these.

Here’s my crash log, IP and Computer name withheld as it should be irreverent. Notice the crash log states that GW2 is only running for 1 second, meaning that the crash is basically instant.

And here are my system specs. Like all of them.

So my issue went away for a while and now its back. Same problem, different character. I’ve tried updating Direct X with your link provided and with a direct download from MS and both say that my Direct X is up to date. So are all my drivers. :x

EDIT: Im also running Direct X 11
