Two things,

1) I also have gotten the keyboard issue twice – so not very often, and only recently

2) I continue to get fairly random crashes on at least a daily basis, sometimes fairly frequently. Most of the time it is just when I am running around, moving, not related to any mobs, fights, zones, etc. One thing that is almost always the case when I am moving is that I am holding down <Ctrl> so I can see names/labels while moving and I am also holding down right-mouse so I can control turning while moving – and it may be that all my crashes while moving have that in common, I’ll try and pay closer attention to see if I ever crash when I am not doing those two things.

Two things:

1) Whatever you did in that last patch was wonderful… Memory and disk usage have gone back to normal for me – Memory usage is now sitting between 4-5GB for GW2, kernel_task memory usage does not increase appreciably and is not being dominated by memory allocation processes (kalloc). Probably because of that my drive (SSD) is not getting pounded by kernal_task and writing 100+GB a game session, it’s barely writing anything at all.

2) Attaching a screen shot of a weird side bar issue where an event got listed twice, when the event ended, one went away but the other remained until I left the zone with other events opening and closing properly underneath it.

Just want to echo the – so happy you guys are working on this native client.

Just want to echo that the user interface features seem incredibly large compared with the 32-bit beta.

I am also getting the sort of laggy/jittery movement.

So far the one odd thing that jumped out at me is very strange shadows in some area’s or Malchors (screen shot looking north from Wren) that clears to normal around my character as I move around.

The shadows seem to go away sometimes, not sure if it is just time or related to an event in the area, but they return if I port away and come back to the area or switch characters.
