Guild Wars 2

Fenryl.7059:

probably usual Patchday Error. The game couldn’t find effects it wanted to play.

Well for RAM definately buy Twice the same module. or better just one with enough capacity if you can afford it. (8GB on one module should be around 60$).

Hope i could help a bit.

Awesome to hear, and what a relief! Thank you so much all of you! You really saved me a lot of worry!

Ok, I got a minor crash this time while returning to the game after alt+tabbing, nothing as serious as the others. I took out this specific crash from the ArenaNet.log just because the other errors are not relevant.

Here is the log:

Thank you so much. Removed the one that was giving me white screens and I haven’t had a problem since (knock on wood). I will definitely be looking into getting some new RAM sticks, any recommendations?

Just tested 1 stick, was working fine until the screen froze, flashed white a couple times, and after about 30s went back to normal. Also a new error… Hmm. I’ll test out the other stick.

Hmm, funny you mention it now, I literally JUST ran a windows memory diagnostic right before looking at this post. First time I ran it it gave me a hardware error, so I moved the two sticks to a different slot, ran the test again and it didn’t give me any errors, went to test it ingame, no BSOD but I got a strange black screen that allowed absolutely no input, which was a new error. I’ll definitely remove one stick and report back.

Hi, I recently built a new PC, everything is running great except for the fact I’m getting a BSOD crash after a random amount of playing time. I first ran into this problem with an EVGA Geforce GTX 650 Ti Boost, however the problem with that card was a black screen on the game itself. I recently upgraded my card to an ASUS Raedon HD 7870 2.0GB ankitten ow experience BSOD crashes ONLY when running GW2.

Here are my system specs:

I have looked on countless online threads looking for a solution to the problem and only found temporary solutions. I don’t know where else to look, I really need some help guys.

List of things I have already tried:
Uninstalled all drivers, booted in safemode and cleared with Driver Sweeper.
Installed both current, past, and beta drivers to no avail.
Underclocked GPU and RAM (Currently nothing is overclocked, so that is not an issue).
Replaced old GPU with new one (See above)
Ran DxDiag (no errors)
Analyzed BSOD crash log (error with atimdag.sys [supposedly])
Ran NCSoft Gama Analyzer

If it helps, the BSOD stop code was: 0xA0000001 (and then a bunch of 0×00000′s)

Please help me fix this problem, it’s really disappointing because GW2 is the main game I play atm, it as of right now it’s worthless on this brand new PC…

Here are the files (Change the minidump file extensions from .txt to .dmp if need be):

I was in Sanctum Sprint yesterday when the 1k achievement chest popped up. I was saving it for when I got out, as soon as I got out I chose a Zenith skin and was continued on. What I forgot about was the Large Achievement chest that also came with it. I had logged in today and remembered about it, and when I went to look in my inventory, it had disappeared/never appeared. Is it possible that I sold it to a merchant by accident? My inventory was filled to the brim except one spot for the skin… I know I’m missing out on some great stuff if I don’t have this chest… I just can’t figure what else to do from here.

I missed the molten pickaxe window (due to real life issues). I was wondering if the pickaxe will be coming back at any point in the -somewhat- near future. I’d love to see a different skin/effect on it also. I heard the SAB was coming back… how cool would a pixelated unbreakable pickaxe be?

Uncontested anywhere right now?

You can get them all later, don’t worry. ANet learned from that mistake, at least.

Sweet thanks that really takes a burden off my back.

Hi, I know a lot of people are on vacation, traveling, etc. during the Wintersday event. I was wondering if the Tixx achievements for the different cities are only obtainable on that day. I have heard a couple rumors that the achievements will be available once Tixx arrives in LA, but I was curious to know.

This JP has literally brought stress into my real life, its a problem. I’ve become a addicted, and not in a good way.

I can’t go an hour without thinking about this puzzle. I have a real problem with jumping puzzles, I spent 20+ hours on the Mad King Clocktower, and I regret it.

The wait time is terrible, I have to wait an eternity just to try again, not good. I know that there are extreme pro’s that can take this thing by storm and rub it into everyone else’s face, but seriously Anet, think about us.

I can’t stop because I know I will always regret not finishing the puzzle. I think (timed) jumping puzzles need to be removed from holiday events. They really detriment the rest of the activities for the majority of those that try the JP.
