Guild Wars 2

Pretty much. I’ve been playing w/o problems for about a month, and I haven’t changed anything relating to GW2. No idea what’s causing it. :/

So I’m playing along on a new human ranger, killing spiders when my screen freezes. Total freeze, no movement at all. The music is still going though. I try to alt f4, alt tab, ctrl escape, nothing works. Hit the power button to put it into sleep mode, then try to log back in. The game is still running in the background but I can’t bring it up. The music is still playing, however, and my cursor is disappearing randomly. I can right click and see the option to Close, but using it does nothing. Task Manager can’t seem to close it either, and in fact doesn’t seem to respond to my clicks. I log out of my windows profile, and the game closes. I try playing again, and get the same error maybe ten minutes in.

Has anyone seen this odd occurrence before?
