I’m running GW2 on an iMac I purchased in 2008. I had to upgrade to Snow Leopard and then Mountain Lion to run the game, so it could be an issue with the older systems. My wife also runs a 2009 iMac and encounters the same problem. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro with 256 MB, so it must be too much for it to process at times. I have locked up another three times so far today. After my last hard restart, I logged back in, moved three steps forward, and it locked immediately. This is extremely frustrating. I also cannot run in large groups. When I do, I cannot see what we are attacking and my system is very jumpy.

This has been happening to me since launch, and it is getting very frustrating. I could be alone in a zone, and the system locks up. Numerous times I’ve been in dungeons on critical champion battles and the the entire game locks up. I can move my mouse, but I can’t exit the screen to restart the game. I have to manually shut down my entire computer and reboot, which I have not done on any Macintosh computer I’ve owned in 6 years. Since owning this game, I have to reboot a minimum of three times a day because the game locks up. Please look into this for the MacBeta users ArenaNet. Otherwise, I will be forced to go back to World of Warcraft, which does not lock up my system even on the new MOP expansion.
