Guild Wars 2

Uzi.5364:

I would encourage all that reply to this thread with either issues or NOT to include
system specs and detailed description of the problem as it occurs on your system.

Failure to include system specifics is a total FAIL on your part as it does nothing to help
nail down the central cause of these events.

Thats true, here are my specs:

Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

- BIOS : InsydeH2O Version V1.20
- Processor : Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
- Memory : 4096MB RAM
- Available OS Memory : 4092MB RAM
-GPU : NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Black screen, with gameplay music playing on the background. It need a hard reset to get the OS operative.

A lower graphic setting let me play a bit longer. Underclocking 10% cpuclock let me play let me play without said blackscreen. As pointed, underclocking is just a fix, a bad fix indeed, but not a solution.

Gogo Arenanet! i choose you!

I used to have the black screen crash.

Im playing since launch on a Intel core 2 Duo so i suffer an evident cpu bottleneck. Anyway, as the cpu was working at full capacity, i played a bit with the in game graphic options setting them a bit higher than default.

A couple of days later, i got the black screen of death with the music playing on the background but everything frozen. No alt tab or alt f4 worked.

Also, getting back to the lower graphic settings helped me playing a bit more, maybe 30 or 40 mins more but always crashing with said black screen. With higher graphic settings it crashed just at logging at the game world.

Today i have tried to underclock my gpu a 10% (nvidia gforce 9600m gt) and give a try the solution someone posted above here. The result is a 100% no black screen with 10 hours of continuous gameplay. The temps are ok and the fps are intact (no real decrease with that 10% underclock. I used msi afterburner).

Hope this can help someone.

P.D Sorry about my english, it is not my native language.

Bump this, we really need something like this feature
