Guild Wars 2

Well, after much testing, the game is playable… the only places that I crash in are the black citadel and in WvW … not sure what the issue is, but I get a grinding sound, and then sound cuts out entirely and after a few seconds the game just crashes to desktop.

Not sure what could be causing it but this began 2 patches ago… and I never had issues before. Anyhow, the problem seems to be some sound related causing a hang in the system and eventually pushing the video card drivers to hang and reset.

As I said before, no other game on my system crashes on me and I can play in any other part of the world in GW2 except black citadel and WvW…

Very odd.

Same here… was playing with the old NVIDIA drivers (pre 306) and though GW2 login screen told me it was a problem the game ran fine (though FPS sucked) … I didn’t want to use the new beta drivers from NVIDIA so I waited for the full release… once they came out I upgraded.

Now… in black citadel after running around for awhile I start to get this weird garbled grinding sound that starts low and gets louder and then the game crashes to desktop and windows 7 tells me there was an unrecoverable video card driver error. If I start up GW2 again the login screen never shows up and I get a “Guild Wars 2 is not responding” issue. I have to restart the entire PC.

Funny thing is it only seems to be happening in Black Citadel for whatever reason. If I leave that area to somewhere else it doesn’t happen.

Anyhow, here’s to hoping it gets fixed.

Same here… looks like they broke something client side in the last update… ahh well, need to sleep anyways.
