Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the useful advice, it didn’t help.

For anyone having similar problems, I’ve found that decreasing the resolution from you native spec seems to practically remove crashes in general, so in the future for anyone having problems like this just decrease your native resolution.

I held off on asking this for years, but my computer has pretty much always crashed in pvp and sometimes when doing pve things, like right at the end of a mission, which is the best feeling ever and is the reason why i don’t even complete these missions. Sometimes it even crashed idle, but then it only gave an error that nvidia has recovered from the crash, which is great because nothing moved. I’ve read somewhere that due to this it may be related to my nvidia graphics card. Right now the best solution is to play the game in 640×480 for pvp, which is pretty hard to play in intense situations. I’d love to keep playing pvp, but this is making the game unplayable crashing in the middle of a match about 3 times in a row, where you have to reset the computer to fix it because the audio either stutters or keeps playing sounds and then the screen goes black. Thankfully the SSD makes reset time about 10-15 seconds, but it would still be significantly nicer without crashes.

My specs are
Processor: Intel Core i7 4790K
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
Ram: DDR3 16 GB

Peak temperatures for the graphics card are around 60-70 C

Thanks

I play after 6 pm on weekdays, all day saturdays.

Though i’m sure the devs are working hard at fixing the lag issue, i’m just going to add in my experience with this lag.

As soon as i get into the game, instant lag i’m not even in WvW. Even in open world, for PVE i’m getting crazy lag. When i press B to go to battlegrounds and choose my battleground it might take a few minutes to respond and today it didn’t respond at all (i.e. no queue or message). As i got into battlegrounds, no people around me or maybe 3-4 people, massive lag still. When i got into the battlegrounds a few days ago people were just lagging everywhere on my screen and it was even to the point hilarious when the entire zerg of our server got into the lord’s room of the opponent and won simply by spamming AOE attacks with massive skill lag. To summarize, the lag is pretty much everywhere and the game is largely unplayable so until that’s fixed i can’t say i’ll be playing this game for as much time as i used to, if even.
