Guild Wars 2

Is this still a problem? I’ve killed around 50, right around the fragment, and no luck.

I’ve killed about 100 today and no drop yet… I’ve been killing the grawl immediately around the poi and inside the cave not far off from it…. I’ve done the event countless times… sad day.

I’m noticing a certain pattern in these logs:

Memory at address xxxxxxxx could not be read
Memory at address xxxxxxxx could not be written

I would suggest running Memtest86 and leave it testing overnight: http://www.memtest86.com/

When I built my pc last January GW2 gave me a lot of problems, especially similar reports and odd behaviour, memtest discovered some errors in some 9 hours test, replacing the ram fixed the issue.

It was worth mentioning that I haven’t had any major problems with the rest of the system, but GW2 seemed to be VERY sensitive to it.

I’m not saying your ram is definitely faulty but it should be checked.

Thanks for a real response, man. The thing that is throwing me off is how random it is… But I will run this tonight!

Tonight I’m having a different crash report thing… Idk whats going on.

Haven’t had ANY problems the past two days. Keep crashing tonight (sitting in my home instance). Really wish we could get some real answers about this crashing…

Had another crash while playing today after about 1 hour. Was inside a story mission with not much going on…. Wasn’t in a zerg, wasn’t in wvw or anything. Going to keep posting until we get some real answers…

so i wait for another crash and grab it?

Looking at your posts again: the crashes you are encountering currently are Out of Memory issues. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but generally it’s because memory have become fragmented enough that the game cannot find a segment large enough for the requested space.

Generally large fights can cause a lot of fragmentation as there is lots of information that is going in and out of existence quickly. If you know you are about to head into a large fight, such as a World Boss, you may want to consider restarting the client to refresh the memory footprint. Some players have found relief from this by lowering their graphics settings to lighten the load on their machines.

So assuming you’re addressing my problem as well (another reason I don’t agree with combining topics……………) this doesn’t seem right at all… I mean yes, the problem does happen sometimes while in areas with large amount of people (world bosses etc) after being online for a while, but it has also happened randomly while being online no longer than 5 minutes while waiting in a pvp queue (and while there are people in heart of the mists, most of them are just standing there so I highly doubt they are putting any kind of strain on my computer). The crash with the 3 files I have submitted each show the game time of each session, I believe the 3rd submission shows a game up-time of one minute…

Hmm seems they combined my thread with yours because we’re getting similar (the same?) errors… I don’t agree with that decision seeing that we’re on two different machines but hopefully it helps them in fixing it for all of us. Good luck to everyone! ):

Alright looks like my topic was merged with others or something, I would like to point out specifically that it is NOT DISCONNECTIONS that is the issue being mentioned. It is Game Client crashes only.

Yeah I know for a fact you and I have the same problem (because I looked at your crash report and the error number is the same thing). But no disconnects for me either, and the crashes seem COMPLETELY random… Some nights I don’t have any problems, others I can play like an hour or more then it starts giving me the error.

Haven’t had any problems since the last time I’ve posted here (decided I’m just going to post every time I crash until I figure out what’s going on). So it has been 3 days and I’ve played ever day, tonight though it has crashed.

So yesterday I played probably about 8 hours throughout the day and didn’t have a single crash. Tonight I’m having a bunch… No clue why this is happening.

Hey fellow gw2 players! I’ve been having a problem recently with crashes and I have no clue what to do about it. I’ve tried many different solutions that are withing my kitten nal (I’m not exactly a computer wiz so I’m betting you guys have better solutions!!). The crashes seem completely random so I’m not entirely sure what’s going on. Sometimes It will crash after an hour of game play, sometimes it won’t crash at all when I play for 3+ hours, and other times I get frustrated because I can’t even stay logged on and I give up lol. I’ll be posting my specs, again hoping that you guys can help me out, when offering solutions please keep in mind that I’m not a computer expert! :P If you need any more information than the attached file I will link and my computer specs though feel free to ask! Also YES I have run the repair AND I just did a fresh install last night, this morning I played for ~4 hours with no crashing so I thought I got to the root of the problem but tonight it crashed after ~1 hour.

I have an 100 gb SSD which has my operating system and other basic needs for a computer to run in it as well as GW2 and I believe LoL (No other games). Then a regular 500 gb hard drive where I play anything else.

edit also I have tried what my friend suggested in rolling back my video drivers which did not work so they are now back up to date.
