Guild Wars 2

GW2 is rifled with bugs and errors. But some people have managed to fix their problems. ANET isn’t giving us a lot of information on their list of issues right now, so I suggest we try and help each other out.

If you managed to fix a technical problem. Please post and tell us how you managed to get around it so someone else may benefit from your experience.

The following format may be easier for other players looking for a solution:

The problem you had written in bold.

How you got around it in italics. Go into as much detail as you want.

My PC can run every other game just fine. Crysis 2, Bioshock 2, WoW, Orcs Must Die 2, etc etc..My PC NEVER crashes when I’m not playing GW2. It consistently crashes within 1minute to 30minutes of GW2 use.

It’s clearly a GW2 issue. Obviously there is something on my system that GW2 does not like…but again, that’s an Anet problem, not mine.

@umnik: I did try that. It didn’t work =(

I’ve posted all the technical details about my problem, so I won’t bore anyone with that. Having tried everything I can possibly think of, and then having it still crash. I’m left with no alternative to quit GW2. The game is sending me bananas.

Has anyone else been driven to this because of the persistent technical problems?

I’m curious.

I just want some more information from ArenaNet. There’s clearly an issue for a lot of nvidia users. I can fully appreciate launch problems with any major mmo, but some info regarding the problem would go a long way…

Kudos for taking the title literally when I was clearly exaggerating to make a frustrated point.

Yes which is why i gave you sound advice :

I understand you frustration but if you need help i suggest a slightly different posting style

I don’t need your holier than thou advice. I need my GW2 to work

Kudos for taking the title literally when I was clearly exaggerating to make a frustrated point.

What’s so ridiculous?

Nvidia 306.02 drivers here high FPS no crashes.

I’m using the same one

I understand you frustration but if you need help i suggest a slightly different posting style.

I’ll try to be jolly about it?

Is there a fix in sight? This is becoming a joke. Why should I log on when I know for certainty that my game will crash within 30 mins? And I am clearly not the only one. The forums are filled with players experiencing identical issues.

After posting Crash Reports, DxDiags, and the logs from anet Advisor thing….most people are told that they need to update drivers. It’s not an issue with our PCs when every other game works. It’s a GW2 issue.

No news has been released on the issue other than to say ‘we know’ and no fix appears to be coming any time soon.

I’m tempted to just give my game to someone else.

Deeply frustrated…

Edit: INB4 ‘my nvidia card runs fine!’

I’m only level 32, but I’d like to do some sPVP with my Engineer. When I get thrown in, the weapon that I’m handed is a rifle. But when I’m levelling and doinf WvW. I play with Dual Pistols.

How can I switch to Dual Pistols with my Level 32 Engineer in sPVP?

Well. I guess I’ll install some drivers.

PS! Loving GW2 atm!

@ Grizzle – Are you able to attach a DxDiag report? The “Out of Memory” crash error that I am seeing in your crash report may actually be a known issue. I will need to see a DxDiag report to verify this. To run a DxDiag test, please perform the following:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and then press the R key on your keyboard. A Run dialogue box should appear.

2. Type in “dxdiag” without the quotes, and click OK.

3. A DirectX Diagnostic Tool window will appear. Click on the “Save All Information” button at the bottom of this window. You will want to save the file to your desktop.

Here ya go! Been a while since I crashed though. I was watching Breaking Bad xD

I can’t post the report as a spoiler, since a post only allows 5001 letters. But….I’ve attached the whole file instead =)

Edit: I have tried the ‘Black Screen’ advice. My Anti-Aliasing is set to application control

Yea. I’m experiencing a very similar problem. I’ve sent off the error reports.

Hoping this doesn’t persist because it really is beginning to frustrate me.
