Guild Wars 2

can’t create characters either, the same error code.

I think I found my problem, I’m only using 4GB of my ram, because I installed a 32bit version & I have to change to 64bit to be able to use my 2×4GB, 8GB RAM. If It doesn’t help It I’ll change to Windows 7 & exchange my monitor. :P.

Hi, well I’m having problems with my Gw2 client. Every time I log Into Gw2 & start up the game, then choose a character & click ‘play’ after the loading screen Is finished, I start getting white lines, which are In the middle of my screen and they travel up & down the screen. They’re not very visible, but are almost transparent at times. The lines appear more when I am In darker parts of the game, like during the night intervals & on rocks. I have uninstalled & re installed my graphics drivers & uninstalled & re installed GW2 twice. I am also using a VGA cable from my monitor to graphic/video card. I am also using Windows 8 Enterprise.
I’m playing on 1080×1920 resolution (native).

My PC specs are:
CPU- Intel Core i5 3470 3.2GHz
Video/Graphics Card- GeForce 650 Ti 1GB

Does anyone have a resolution to my problem? (I’ve also tried turning on vertical sync It gets rid of some of the white lines, but not many.)

Also, ever since the new patch, I keep crashing & I am having low fps & I can’t enter zones & stay In them for long without crashing.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

The white lines only appear when I play GW2

Okay. Thank you so much for your help.
I can’t wait to ‘try’ to set It up ;P.
You’ve been exceedingly helpful.
Many thanks.
If I have any more questions can I personal message you?

Ah okay thank you.
By the way I’ve been looking for a replacement Desktop Tower Case (this Is the one you suggested http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-lexs001bk )
Could you find one that Is cheaper & Is an equivalent, that Is still able to hold my components or Is that the only one?

DVI connection will not ruin the way the graphics are outputted onto the screen?

Thank you so much for your help. I think I’ll go with the first choice & build up parts & see If I can find them anywhere else cheaper.
& I have a friend who’s technological etc & I’m sure they have a Windows 8 64bit that they can Install for me.
Do you think the i5 would be better than the AMD build?
& I’ll look around for cases.
Btw this Is my cousins spare monitor. Is It compatible with this build?

:/ okay.
Could you link me a build (that I will do myself or get help with) that has intel core i5?
& I don’t want the most expensive version of i5, just a version that can handle GW2 well.

I would prefer an i5 over the AMD. I’ve been looking & the Intel Core i5 3330(from reviews) seems to be good for high end games.. Do you know any full set up Desktops (monitor doesn’t need to be Included) that are In my price range & will run at med-high settings, with normal fps?
& I don’t think I would use the Aira to It’s full potential since I’m a casual gamer.

For £550, although u could build a desktop to play GW2, it wouldnt last very long.

Also does that £550 include a monitor/mouse/keyboard/speakers ? Becouse if it does its deffinatly not enough.

I have speakers & my cousin has a 1920×1080p monitor he no longer uses.
& I would have to buy a keyboard & a mouse.

Hm. So you would suggest buying the premade one & I know I can make space for a desktop & I wouldn’t mind playing GW2 on med-high settings, do you have any recommendations? (No more than £550)

Ah okay.
I’m not a hardcore player as well.
I’m new & I’m not looking Into WvWvW (pvp Isn’t for me)
But I’m still debating whether to go for the laptop or the LAN or set up myself a full desktop or buy a brand new one.
& Thank you for your advice Ben.
I’ve seen gameplays (on youtube)of laptop equivalents going at 20-30fps w/ faps with that graphics card.
But thank you so much for your advice, It’s much appreciated.
I just want to experience GW2 at close enough I can get It to It’s full beauty.

In a word.

No.

The GPU is VERY slow.
Ontop of that GW2 requirs a good CPU and the I5 3210m only turbos to 3.1ghz and thats only when 1 core is used, when 2 cores are used its turbo is 2.9ghz. It has 2 physical cores and 4 threads. meaning its weak for GW2.

It will ‘run’ the game, but ur likely looking at light PvE only, and low settings.

You need to look at £1000+ laptops to game , and for GW2 specificaly if u even think about doing WvW u will be looking more along the lines of £2000 as u will want a top of the line mobile CPU, or a hard to find LGA2011 desktop CPU bassed laptop.
Like for example:
http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/omega-supreme/

That laptop only allows for SLI graphics which is over the top for GW2, but i bet you could get in contact with them and ask for a single GPU solution to save some money.
Ofcourse this is only if ur seriose about gaming on a laptop. Laptop gaming is more expensive and much less upgradable (so even more expensive in the long run) than desktop rigs.

Now another option u may not know about is, if u dont need to use the laptop when say, ur sitting at a cafe, on a plane, or some such, and only need it when ur say in a hotel, or office. Then u can always build a LAN gaming Desktop.
They are small and can be carried in a wheeled luggage type bag. Smal lenough to fit ina boot of a car or keep with u on a bus etc.
For example. This plus a small monitor,keyboard and mouse.

Will destroy any current laptop for the same price.

I’m Intrigued about the LAN Desktop & I would have to save up further.
But I could (hopefully) make space for a desktop area & would It be cheaper to build one up on my own or buy a fully functioning one brand new?
& I can’t Personal Message for some reason.

Hi everyone.
I’d like to know If this laptop would be able to run Guild Wars 2 at a medium or high graphics setting, with decent frame rates, with no serious lag. (but of course In WvWvW the settings will have to be adjusted etc & lag spikes are common)

Laptop: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/refurbished-laptops/sony-vaio-sve1512w1esi-cek-refurbished-15-5-laptop-silver-19572117-pdt.html

(I did call the pcworld customer service & spoke to an advisor & the advisor said this laptop would be able to play GW2 at a medium – high graphics setting.)

Thank you for all your help.
& A desktop Is not best suited to me, because I’m on the go a lot & not much space at home for a full pc desktop setup.
