Guild Wars 2

How very awesome. So I been using the 306.97 Driver and everything was fine then I started getting some 10-15secs lockup with a long buzzing sound after the 2nd to last patch from Anet. I thought maybe I needa update my driver to the lastest which is the 310. So i did. and guess what I cant even see my character select screen now. All there is music and the hand with a black screen…..cant even alt tab or windows key, only alt tab delete and MUST end gw2 process or the hand ends up on OS window. I already tried doing a clean install for 310 too but I guess GW2 dont work with 310 yet??

yeah, i dont update my drivers unless i have to. and graphics drivers will not fix gw2, because gw2 is cpu dependent and does not depend on your graphics card that much. I hvae a gtx690 that runs at about 30% hahaha.

Well I’m also running the latest beta driver and have no issues but it’s a beta so no reason to complain.

FPS is CPU bound so unless you plan on Overclocking your CPU to death then GL!

FPS is CPU bound

No, it is not! It is both CPU and GPU bound as in most of the games. GW2 does require a good CPU though.

I have this problem as well. I’m rolling with an ATI Radeon HD 5700 though, so maybe it has nothing to do with the graphics card.
The game randomly freezes with the sound buzzing in a loop, and the entire system hangs. Only way to get out is with a hard reboot. This is terrible and causes corruption.
