Guild Wars 2

So basically re-patch the game…that sounds like “Please do this so that we can keep you at bay while we continue to search for a real solution.” I used to work for an ISP, this is regular practice in tech support :P

The problem I have with the “downclock the videocard” solution is that it is not a solution. We shouldn’t have to change our systems to suboptimal settings to resolve a flaw that is obviously not our systems fault.

I also think that if I have to read one more post about someone saying it sounds like its a fault of the power supply or memory I may just lose my mind. That’s just an unrelated side note I felt like sharing

Tonight I attempted to play and for the first time I was actually able to submit an error report to ArenaNet. I’ve attached a copy of the log here as well.

I’ll chime in as well to report that I’ve had these problems since purchasing and installing the game.

My system started out as a Asus P6X58D-E Mobo with I7 930, 12 Gigs of Corsair Dominator Triple Channel RAM, and 2x GTX 470 Fermi cards in SLI.

Since I was having the crashing issue at random intervals I used the opportunity to upgrade my system to now:

Asrock Extreme6 1155 Mobo, I7 3770k proc, and 16Gigs of Corsair Vengeance RAM, and still the same video cards (Those GTX470’s have been amazing).

I continue to have the problem after the upgrade, which included a full system reinstall obviously because of the new hardware. There isn’t any specific event that I can recall happening to cause the crash. Sometimes I get a BSOD and sometimes I just get a black screen or pixelated screen. When I get the black or pixelated screen I’m not able to alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del out of the program, I must do a hard reset.

Tonight I’m going to try underclocking my GPU’s to see if that makes any difference as I see a lot of people are reporting that this is helping. As a side note, I am running the latest beta driver from nvidia as well to no avail.

I run 2 GTX 470’s in SLI with nvidia surround across 3 23" monitors. The only problem I have with the game is the incessant crashing that everyone is complaining about.
