Guild Wars 2

Ran MemTest, great results. Still not sure why I’m experiencing this. I figured I could try and roll back to 295.73 cause my gtx 570 buddy is using those, but no dice.

Thinking I might have to wait until my next gaming PC is built before I can play again.

Loyram, I’m not sure what that crash relates to (I’ve never even seen it – and I’ve seen a whole lot of different CTDs with GW2), so more than likely you have some settings wrong somewhere [display driver, AfterBurner, Windows] or your overclock isn’t stable – I assume you are oc’ing since you’re using AB/PX? One thing I noted with my specific card (7870) with using AB is that it will set the voltage a bit lower than what you manually set it to, so you may want to verify your unloaded/loaded voltage using GPU-Z and FurMark. That may be a specific issue with my card – I’m not sure, but it’s worth checking. If you are not over-volting the card, then you can completely DISABLE low-level hardware access, as it seems to only be needed for voltage control, as far as I can tell. Also, which version of AB are you running? They just released 2.2.4, but I did all my testing with the previous version (I think it’s 2.2.3). I recall them making some Nvidia-related changes in the newer version, so if you get to your wits end, maybe try the previous version.

Thisisdell – I need more info than just “didn’t work” – such as the error you are receiving (full crash report plz), AfterBurner settings, video card make/model (full specs would be better), etc.

I have still been able to play just fine with no CTDs since making the changes in my OP.

The patch notes from today say it fixes various crash bugs.

We shall see. Thing is I don’t overclock because I thought that might have something to do with it. So staying default still yields problems.

I’m working with support right now, giving game advisor logs with startup utilities running normal and with all disabled and still crashes. However, I have still yet to try today. I’m on it

Edit: 9:48 – game crashed.

I’m still getting the same crash after disabling AA at every aspect. :\ shucks

I have been experiencing these exact errors since launch/first few new patches. I made my RivaTuner stats match yours, but I use EVGA Precision X and there is not a compatibility option that I see.

Another GW2’er with a GTX460 experiencing these issues.

Upgraded to 306.23 and the crashing/hardware failure continued if not more.

Based off of all the research and reading I’ve done, it sounds like it could be memory leaks on behalf of GW2. So, I would hold off on RMA’ing your GPU until this is fully fixed.

Pleaaaaase help us ANet!
