Guild Wars 2

SOLVED

I have found the issue, I changed the OSD rendering mode from Raster 3D to Vector 2D and now it is working just fine! I feel stupid for posting this now, thanks for your help everyone.

Hi there, I’m going to keep this as short as possible.

After the Lost Shores patch I’m getting a black screen and crash when I launch GW2 and have MSI Afterburner On Screen Display enabled, which I like to have enabled to monitor my custom fan speed profile, GPU temp, usage and FPS. I can play the game properly if I disable the On Screen Display before launching GW2, so I’m fairly certain that there is some kind of interference between the two programs in their current builds. I have not tried downgrading my drivers or version of Afterburner, I’m just wondering if anyone else is having this issue and if they know a fix for it. I can use the On Screen Display in other games, such as Battlefield 3 with no issue at all, so again, I’m pretty sure it is some conflict that was introduced in the Lost Shores patch. Thanks for reading, have a great day.

a new version of MSI Afterburner was released yesterday…v.2.3.0

Ah, sorry, I guess I completely forgot to mention. I first encounter the issue with Afterburner version 2.2.5 beta and then upgraded to 2.3.0 and I’m still having the issue.
Thanks for your thoughts, though.
