Guild Wars 2

I was all alone running by myself.
I was at the end of path 2 ‘Infantile Mode’ I just destroyed the cage, and was waiting for timer to finish. I had 1/2 Heart left and I was standing on the rainbow bridge. As soon as the timer ended the bridge vanished I fell into the green water and died. When level 3 started I was still defeated and unable to respawn. I had extra lives, and even a coin. I was not taken to the continue area or even taken back to Rata Sum. I just remained there at the start DEAD!

If you need a pic I can upload one of me laying there, But I don’t think that’s gonna help at all

I had the same exact issue.
Yesterday It happened atleast 10 times with 2 crashes. Today as soon as I logged in, I had it happen again within 5 minutes of playing.

I moved the “mixing buffer size” slider to the center towards “Most Stable” setting.
It was all the way down towards “Lowest Latency”
So far after doing this I have not had this issue again. This may fix it for you as well. You could even try sliding it all the way over to “Most Stable” If it still persists for ya. Good luck!
