Guild Wars 2

Hello!
Same problem here… Changed from Win7 64bit to the win8 32bit and the nightmare started.
Sometimes the rainbow graphics (only on Black lion interface) and the constant crashing.
New driver instalation, repaired… nothing.
Every time I take a snapshot, after playing a while, it crashes.

Please help.

You NEED to be running 64BIT Win8.

When you upgraded to windows 8 did you get all the windows 8 drivers for your video card and motherboard chipset.

Dear DantePT.4568

Because I think 32 bit Windows 8/7 only recognizes only “4GB,” and that makes your game crash ,

I hope this helps “it helped for me a year ago”

Regards, is back/uvören

Thank you all for your help.
I still don’t understand “why” but the 32bit is the only thing that changed.
I will return to the good old Win7 64bit, since Guild Wars is much more important than all the other programs.
Thank you again.

Just download the 64bit version of Windows 8. and youll be good to go.

You have 2 main issues;

1. Your GPU uses almost 2GB of ram
2. your system only sees 2578MB of ram
3. GW2 is known to use 1.8GB – 2.8GB of ram depending on your Clients settings
4. Due to #3 there is not enough free Memory (Physical) left for windows to run, so it starts to swap (Your Commit is 3724MB, thats 1.2GB above your Physical Memory).
5. 32bit OS’s only see a MAX of 4GB of combined Ram (if your GPU uses 2GB of ram, then your system will only see 3GB of ram, take 500Mb away for system resources and your left wtih 2.5GB of system ram)

So that is WHY YOU must be running windows 64bit (No matter the version, 7 or
