Guild Wars 2

OK, more updates. I’ve updated to Windows 10, no luck. Crashes/hangs still happen.

The one thing which fixed the crashes and hangs is to change my graphics preset from “Best Appearance” to “Best Performance”. I’ve not had a single problem after this.

But the thing is, I didn’t upgrade my graphics card (GTX 760) so that I can play GW2 in the lousiest settings! It’s such a beautiful game, I want to enjoy it in its entirety

For me, there are 2 things which keeps on happening.

1. The screen turns black, I have to hard reboot my machine.
This usually happens when I’m in a battle, I’m loading a new map or I exit the game.
I can still hear the CPU fan running.

2. The game hangs, I have to hard reboot my machine.
This usually happens when I’m interacting with something in the environment.

I’m on Win 7 and I’ve tried the 64-bit client, repaired the image, used the windowed mode and updated nVidia drivers to 358.87. It still happens. Not sure what to do now.

Had issues with crashing the past few days as well. Crashed 3 times.
I looked through the memory dumps and found out

1st crash was triggered by Gw2.exe
2nd, 3rd crash was triggered by Nvidia drivers.

Then I remembered that after Anet release the patch to fix the crashing issue, I updated the Nvidia drivers from 314.07 to 320.18. I regressed to 314.22 and my crashing issues have gone away.

So for those with Nvidia cards and the latest drivers, you might wanna try using 314.22. YMMW
