Guild Wars 2

Interesting point of view.

Fact is that from a customer point of view ATI drivers are second class. So ArenaNet need to sort out compatibility for the most common drivers on the planet. Or tell everyone that they are not able to support NVidia and go to AMD. Wonder how that will do down?

There is no half way house. I paid for GW2. It should work 100% reliably on NVidia. I am not that intersted in why ArenaNet programmers and project managers are totally useless. I just care that GW2, that I have paid for, regularly crashes on my NVidia recent card. It matter not whether NVidia is are fault or Arenanet. Because Wow works just fine and has for years. Like about 7 years. Max Dungeons. Max Players.

But Arenanet. Can not keep get its Panties above its ankles.

Reason. Poor project management. Poor implementation. Poor programming. Poor, well non existent QA.

Sort of reminds me, so may years ago, of Mythic [DAOC] and it was a great game and just like Arenanet instead of solving problems blamed customers. And the result?

Nope. IF ARENANET read these forums then they need to start to take note. Starting with the latest patch is a heap of crap. Followed up by “Why dont you simply get your code to play nice with the most common drivers on the Planet”

Pretty simple stuff.

Nah mate. The problem, for the most common Video Drivers on the planet. Is crap management and very poor programming.

Its sort of like Ford deciding that Pneumatic Tyres are someone elses problem so they are going to stay with steel wheels. There may indeed be issues with Nvidia but Guildwars needs to work with their drivers …… ergo ArenaNet need to sort it out.

Instead. They are totally hopeless. Totally and completely useless.

So every time my game crashes and I get the “Tell us about the problem” I do. I tell them to employ some real programmers and some real project managers. Because the current crop are not worth a pinch of kitten.

The problem is really crappy programming by Arena net in particular related to video drivers. If that was not the case then WoW would crash like crazy as well. But WoW is pretty stable and GW2, particularly after yesterdays patch is just crap.

Ok well this is related to the same issues that I have been having.

The problem is crappy. Like really crappy. Like totally pathetic by ArenaNet programming. In fact for some areas I can not run other than low quality graphics. Else Insta Crash. And even with Low Quality Graphics it is a bit hit and miss. Now this is mostly the case in High Population Areas like Lions Arch.

IF ArenaNet had a half pie smart Development Environment Control this would not be an issue.

BUT and it is a killer for them. Until they sort it out. Pay for an expansion when I can not reliably play what I have paid for. What a bunch of deluded people. How about you sort out your version control and your DEV issues. Provide a stable platform for a start?

Just a suggestion because it is not being run on a minimal environment. But the only program that causes a problem is GW2. That says to me that the problem is GW2 and crap developers.

WoW, pardon the pun GW2 is shockingly badly coded.

BSOD and just patched a few minutes ago – instant crash BSOD.

The funny thing as a very long time DAOC player, and WOW player, and running a fairly new Nvidia 750 card it has to be poor programming else the other games would have a history of crashing. But they dont. And for sure it is on the Graphics side and yes all drivers up to date.

So no I am not looking for help. I hope that ArenaNet reads these forums and improves its Development Standards because they are a D Fail at the moment.
