Guild Wars 2

I just had to deal with this for my wife. Posting to hopefully save people some trouble. Most likely you are on a 32 bit version of windows. Due to technical issues, 32 bit doesn’t allow your pc to use as much RAM for gw2. It’s possible that HoT added a memory leak but it’s also just possible that something changed in the graphic engine that use more RAM.

Permanent Solution:
Upgrade to a 64 bit OS.

Temporary Solution:
Turn your graphics down. I set my wife’s game to minimum graphics except for native shaders and got her from 40 seconds of game time to at least an hour and a half.

Proof:
Google “GW2 OOM healp” and you’ll see people with this same problem when the game launched.

megaman.8396:

keep getting OOM since hot update game is unplayable for me most i can get in is 15mins (had post on textures before fixed that)
