No video signal at random intervals
No I don’t.

Happens to me too. Getting the latest video drivers seemed to have made the frequency of it occurring less, but it still happens. It’ll usually happen 2-3 times a week. Extremely annoying and it seems to only happen in GW2. My screen totally blacks out, no video signal, can still hear all the sounds, and for some reason my fans turn all the way up (nothing is overheating, I average 65C on my GPU at load with a max of about 70C)

What driver/version are you using? I JUST updated my Catalyst to 13.4 from 13.1. I haven’t tried GW2 yet but I’m going to give it a go soon.
I’ll let this thread know.
Well, there’s obviously something wrong, but what makes it noticeable is Windows resetting the driver. Now, there could be a variety of reasons windows may think the driver needs to be reset, like memory leaks or hardware failure, as pointed out before; but also it could be the GPU being busy and unable to respond to the system, like I’ve seen programming for CUDA. What I did, which doesn’t fix the problem if there’s actually one, but it just makes it seamless: set the timer that controls how much time has the graphic card to answer to the system checks to a higher value. It’s called Timeout Detection and Recovery, and it’s an usefull system failsafe that prevents a malfunctioning program to propagate the error to the point of crashing the OS. At least in my case, never happened again since the change, and my pc looks stable after hours of playing, so It could be windows being an a**.
So, without further dilation, here are the steps I followed:
-Access to the registry through “regedit”
-Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/GraphicsDrivers
-Go to Edit>New>DWord (or QWord, depending if it’s 64 bit system or 32)
-Name the new entry TdrDelay, and set its value to 4 or more, but I wouldn’t recommend giving it a too high value, just between 4-40 top.
-Reset the PC to activate the changes.
Hope this helps more people.
P.S.: You should make a restoration point beforehand, for restore the system if anything goes wrong with the registry. It’s a simple procedure, but messing with the registry is delicate thing at best, do it at your own risk.
Sammmeeee problem 4 months later. Went out and got a new video card.. same issue. Ruled out video card problems..
After not playing for about 8 months I’m returning to this issue.
My monitor will lose signal for a quick second or 2 and return as if nothing ever happened.

Running Nvidia R331 Driver
I have tons of games that I play constantly without any issue and that are far more graphically intensive than GW2 and have no issues with the monitors losing signal. It’s almost as if for a second GW2 produces a signal that is out of range for whatever reason.
I have a dual monitor setup and run in Windows Fullscreen at 1920×1080. This is a problem that didn’t really occur about a year ago for me, but I was running completely different hardware at that point as well.
I’m thinking it’s just a software/driver incompatibility at this point, but it’s still super frustrating.
Anyone find solutions or still dealing with this problem?
After a break I thought I would check this game out and see what has changed. I too am having the same issue. I have an XFX r7770. Guess I wont be back till this is resolved. Did anyone else find a solution to the problem?
