Because of you’re CPU. GW2 is really CPU havy. Get a better CPU and u will get better results.

I just made this thread to get some attention from the devs/mods. I really hope this gets fixed soon. We had to do the same difficulty many times because of disconnects.

Hope this gets fixed soon! Its really annoying me and my friends.

It should work if you have the same 5-players team every evening or so and you keep progressing together, unless someone disconnects and you have to start over again to get him at the same level. Chatting on Skype could be fun and could relieve the pain, but in the end you’ll feel frustrated.
If you have 7 or 8 people interested in the dungeon you can’t make two parties, so you have to play every level 2 times to let everyone progress.
And in the long term? When new players will join the game you have to help them maybe one by one from level one to level… 30? (or even more!)
I like the fractals too, they are all really really nice and well designed, but everything beautiful will get boring if you play it too much. And there it’s a matter of grinding and grinding again… You’ll like it the first 2 weeks, but after one month or I think most player will get bored to disconnects, don’t manage to find a party, feel left behind from old players and being forced to playing with PUGs… And I really believe in the future it will be really hard to search a party for odd numbers levels without daily chest reward.

I see whats you mean. I really hope they will fix the D/C problem.

I dont really think it will be a problem for new players or to do the same difficulty twice. I still do all old dungeons. Last time we did AC 4 times (Story + Expl), just for a new guildie. You get alot of mats from the Fractal dungeons. Mostly i do some alone until the last boss (i can solo most) at difficulty 1-3, just to get mats easy, make some money and hopefully get a condensed mist.

And how did you get your guild and friends where they are now? I guess most of them started as PUGs. After me and most of my friends/members did a run as PUGs i added them and we did allot more and after that we even added on skype. So if i can, new players and lower difficulty players can do too. It will just be old generation and new generation thing, like in most games ive played.

Another dungeon - another bugged fiasco

Another dungeon – another bugged fiasco

I keep hoping, against large body of evidence, that not all dungeons are choke-full of broken mechanics on top of buggy mess.

Today I went into Twilign Arbor (sp?) story mode dungeon. My group just hit 50, we are all mostly in crafted yellows, so better geared than regular level 50 would be.

Summary:

1. Boss that turns you into cats – bugged. Killing pups does not turn you back. Ended up killing him with 4 cats and 1 person kiting. Took long time.
2. Fish boss is AFK fight.
Not a bug
3. Packs 3-4 packs of dogs with knock-back are ridiculously hard. We have 3 stabilities in the group, we were still losing to chain knock-downs.
Not a bug
4. 2 well necromancers – chain fear. They drop well that fears you, if you get feared running into the wall you end up with 20+ seconds of fear. They cannot be pulled out of the room.
Not a bug
5. Random trash mobs with fear – fears you half across the room. Fear way too long.
Not a bug
6. Pod mobs that spawn and charge you and knock you down can kill people in a single knockdown. Way too brutal to deal with.
Not a bug
7. Boss that spawns legions of nightmare spiders – nothing in the game tells you how to approach this fight. We had to Google it, then it was simple.
Not a bug

Overall -dungeons in this game feel like an undiminished afterthought, something that does not hold up to competition (WoW, CoH, DnDOL, SWToR I have tried and can compare to). If PvE content (fractials) going to be the end-game content, Anet needs to clean up their act.

Major problems:

1. No way to manage mobs. Your 1-2s CC does not matter when it takes 60s+ to kill mob. At the same time mobs CC you for 10+ seconds at the time. This should be reversed. CC needs to be much, much stronger in PvE to compensate for lack of tanking and healing.
Not a bug
2. Trash is way too hard, too many abilities, too much damage, too much HP. As a result everyone attempts to “skip” all trash, just run past it. Weird way to play.
Not a bug
3. Environmental traps are too obnoxious. Flowers that constantly spawn. Traps that you can’t turn off. Trip wires.
Not a bug
4. Boss fights with fight mechanics that are not explained.
Not a bug

So, not such a bugged fiasco after all? Could you change your title?

I personally love dungeons like these. They are hard to complete and ask allot of team play. Mostly a ranger just pulled the mobs one by ones and we could kill each easy. I have a guardian full toughness/support build and don’t really have a problem tanking and kiting hordes of mobs around, letting my party AOE kill them.

Maybe most dungeons need some tweaking. But as a IT guy we always say: The world is our testing ground.

With just a team you cant test everything. Every play style, skill level, gear, skills, weapons, etc. You just cant. Thats why they are always patching things after a release.

I only agree with half your points, and i guess that’s a personal opinion.

You said its hard to get a group with the same difficulty. For me its not really a problem. Im officer in a guild of only 24 people. Me and my friends (were with about 7 people) have a core group in the guild that always do dungeons and where on about the same difficulty. We all have a job and don’t always wanna play. So we can get a full team without leaving people out without a problem.

I really really like the dungeon and have allot of fun team playing and jumping around. So i have no problem with helping guildies up a few difficulties.

So i guess its just the differences if you like the dungeon or not. Even with a guild as small as ours its no problem getting a party with skilled active and fun people. And you’ll even earn some influence and loot.

What i do agree with is the problem that if one disconnects your pretty much screwed. If where 2/3 dun and someone disconnects he/she just waits till we are dun and chats with us over Skype and just grinds or sells stuff in the meantime.

I really really really love the new dungeons. The teamwork, events, difficulty, etc. Just need some last things to be fixed.

Keep it up Anet

Sigils and runes 2 questions

Posted by: MoosieOfDoom.4926

MoosieOfDoom.4926

Hey peeps,

I have a question. If you use a (in this example) rune with:

  • +14 (something)
  • +24 (something)
  • +20 (something)
  • +84 (something)

1. And you have that rune on 5 items. Does the 5th item give the stats to? Or is it ignored?

2. And does every item give all the stats? Or does:

Helmet gives: +14
Legs gives: +24
Armor gives: +20
Shoulders gives: +84?

Or:

Helmet gives: +14 and +24 and +20 and +84?
Legs gives: +14 and +24 and +20 and +84?
Armor gives: +14 and +24 and +20 and +84?
Shoulders gives: +14 and +24 and +20 and +84?

Hopefully im clear with my explanation.

Cheers!

Good point, thanks. Still want to hear others opinions tho. I for one really wonder why Anet only made so few different model shields.

Hey everyone,

I got a lvl80 Guardian and I was wondering, what a good looking shield is. Right now i got one of those stupid round ones which everyone has (and wich i hate). Im a char guardian and i want a cool big shield. Not some wooden round noobish thing.

Anyone knows where to get a cool shield? Or do i just need to be lucky and find one that looks cool which i can switch with the shield i got now (only the appearance). Maybe in a dungeon or at a merchant?

Hope my question is clear enough.

Cheers!

It could have been the dram was incompatible iwth the motherboard (it can happen)
or the auto set timings weren’t good for the rest of the system.

What did you end up buying?

Just the faster version of Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit Dominator Platinum. But ive tried all different combos to make it work. Different timings, different voltage, etc.

The ram i bought before was on the motherboards compatibility list. And the only program having trouble with it was GW2. Thats what makes it weird to me.

This is bad ram. And no memtest will not always catch it.

Oke guys,

Sorry for waiting so long. Yesterday i bought new ram… Because i can and because this ram looks sexy (nope no real reason). And just to make sure the problem isnt the ram (well maybe a reason, but just to be sure….). Guess what!? IT WAS THE RAM! After buying new ram modules 3 different times (yes its crazy how far ive gone maybe) i finally can play.

It doesn’t matter if i overclock my CPU or GPU, it will keep running like it should. I tried my old ram and the crashes came back.

The weird thing is that this ram isnt even suported by my motherboard. And with a vol overclock (from 1,5 to 1,6v) i got it running. And it runs great!

I gues this doesnt help anyone. And it is still a weird thing. Because i never have crashes, the system runs stable, other games/programs run stable, memtest sees nothing, i could sometimes play fine for weeks, etc, etc.

TL;DR: IT IS FINALLY FIXED. BUT IN A WEIRD WAY!

PS: if someone still wants me to test something else. Just PM me ore leave a post to find out if the problem was something else.

Well not weird to me.

Because? In tried 3 different sets of ram. Do you mean i bought 2 broken ones, and only GW2 has trouble with them?

Thanks for your reply tho. But this isnt helping :P.

I get the same error and at random times, usually when a big event is on. I have a new computer and it never crashes anything apart from GW2. Nothing is overclocked by me and I am reluctant to mess with BIOS etc as the machine is only weeks old. I send the error report every time and hopefully some one will get so sick of it that they will fix the problem.

Hahaha, i know that feeling. I’m sending like 10 a day.

I’ve just tried under-clocking both my CPU and memory. But nothing changes. I also changed my Visual Effects in Windows to “Best performance” and i do experience a little lees crashes. But still no fix :S.

Going to use the process explorer now to make a screen of my hooks.

1) Go into your BIOS setup and see if there is an option to change the RAM speed. If your system RAM was “overclocked” @ the factory this may cause the error you are receiving. Fiddle with the settings if possible and test to see if this fixes the issue (or simply find the “return to default” option in the BIOS and activate it).
2) Also, is your CPU overclocked? How about your GPU? If so you may want to try setting them to normal speeds if adjusting the RAM clock fails to yield favorable results.
3) Certain programs that allow voice chat (like Mumble) or programs that allow video recording of your game session can cause the c0000005 error, but it is usually a “cannot read” memory error. I do not know if Team Viewer could be the culprit, but you may wish to try running GW2 without it.
4) Lastly, you can try running a chkdsk c: /r to check for file system errors, although I highly doubt this would cause a “cannot write” memory error.
Good luck, and I hope one of these suggestions fixes your issue.

Thanks for your detailed explanation. But if you read all my reply’s, you can see i tried all those things accept for nr. 1. My bios is at default (fail safe settings).

Im going to try to underclock everything later today. I wanted to try it yesterday but got home rlly late from work.

Ill report back later, cheers!

I can just speculate, so ofc in your particular case i would also assume a “system” specific problem, since otherwise more players “should” encounter this problem. After yesterdays crash’s i would point to the patch in my case, which contradicts your pre-patch crashes.

I mean soon u reach a point where, except from changing your mobo/cpu, u have done everything that remotely relates to such problems.

Well, i was planning on changing mobo. So that will be out of the question soon. And i can buy a new cpu for €200 later or something. The one i have now is fast enough, so dont need a massive upgrade.

Model ‘0×006a28’: Can’t unlink child ‘0×00d120’ from parent bone ‘aura’, there’s no bone with that name.”

Yesterday for the first time ever, i also had 3 crashes in short succession, with similar errors. Since i did not change anything on my system, i guess the recent patch is a cause for this.

The actual “Exception: c0000005” is a illegal memory access in “no mens land” so somehow a pointer is corrupted, which may be caused by all kinds of stuffs, ranging from bad RAM/over-clocking to bugs in the game code, used .dlls, bad error handling or simply not correctly initializing/clearing a pointer variable.

The error trace code seem to fallback/crash for some animation/“bone” related calls, which point to a actual game code problem.

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, i found that in the world wide web. But that doesn’t point to the problem. I already changed my ram and my bios settings are default. Tonight im going to try to actually underclock my system. Shut off some cores and change some settings. I re-installed my system to hopefully fix dll related errors.

So whats that says is that the game just has a bug in the code? And that it is just bad luck that i am one for the few that have this problem from day 1. With some days/weeks without problems…

80 degrees is about normal for a stock nvidia cooler. My 570 was running at around 84c at stock speeds on a stock cooler, Guild Wars 2 is one of the few games that maxes GPU usage for me, so i rarely see that in other games.

If you want to bring your temps down, id suggest getting an aftermarket cooler. I use an Arctic Accelero Turbo II on mine now, temps rarely go above 65ish.

I will note however, 80c isn’t dangerous for GPU’s, they can handle over 100c, it just runs noisy :P

Thats true, as i said. But, the thing that got me was that at once it was much much hotter than it normally was.

Other games like? BF3? Or maybe Crysis or something.

And have you tried different settings? Maybe it is a bug in GW2 (wouldn’t be the first) and on lower settings you can safely play. Although 70+ is a oke temp the fan must be annoying.

Good luck

So what effort is involve for Anet to switch to DX11? Is it a simple ‘flick of a switch’ or does the game or graphics engine have to be designed with DX11 in mind?

Is your answer.
If i am right (and correct me if i am wrong) DX is used to communicate to the hardware/software in your system. So right now the engine communicates in DX-xx and not DX-yy.

I was able to remain in the 60+ degree range when i started playing this game when it first started but just like maybe a week plus ago my gtx 580 temp just suddenly shot up to 80+ after few mins of gaming n this was happening at the beginnning level area n there wasnt much ppl around like it first started but the temp is so much different now. I have clean my pc n reapply thermal paste on my gpu n the temp is still the same…..

  • Are you sure you didn’t apply to much paste?
  • You tighten all the screws (not to much just hand tight)
  • The heat sink is straight on the card/GPU/board. Not bend or maybe tilted a little
  • Your heat sink fins are clean and not sticking together? (maybe you squeezed to hard?)
  • Your fan is working properly? (check msi afterburner or Nvidia config)

I suggest you check drivers then, a leak should not occur.

Of course, it would be easier to diagnose a possible cause if you would be as kind as to post Poolmon and rammap screenshots

First, thanks for the answer.

Drivers are up-to-date sinds i re-installed my whole system yesterday and downloaded all the drivers from the sites. I installed the following:

  • ATI Chipset drivers
  • Gigabyte USB 3.0 drivers
  • ATI GPU drivers
  • Realtek LAN drivers
  • Realtek HD Audio drivers
  • Asus N15 Wireless card drivers (PCIe)

I guess i can try that again. Altho soudnt be necessary to copy these files to the gw2 folder in the first place. I can do that but i dont think solving a problem by creating a even worse one (wich crashes my whole pc not just the game).

PS. I don’t know if its actually a memory leak. It is just something i think that happened.

What are you running in the background, C5 is illegal memory access.

Nothing else then what i said in my description…

  • Teamviewer (already tested without)
  • Skype (already tested without)
  • AVG Anti virus (already tested without and added a exception)

Try starting gw2.exe from the Run item (Winkey+R) using the “-repair” command switch

I did a re-install of my whole machine and the game. And run the repair ones. Still get the same problem…
 
 
 
Yesterday i tried to see whats happening on Procmon (monitoring tool to log what your pc/process is doing). I saw that GW.exe had trouble reading some dll files in my Winsxs folder, because of the default read only rights there (this is not causing the problem because everyone has this).

I know that almost all programs look in their own folder for dll files, and if they cant find them they will look in the Winsxs folder. So, i copied all the files it was trying to access to the GW2 folder. After i copied them and started GW2 i got some sord of memory leak after a few min (15-20). My whole memory was full (8g) all used up by gw2.exe. Run fine for a while tho and didnt get the same error. And windows crashed :S.

TL;DR: Copied dll files to gw2 folder from Winsxs. After i did that my memory soon was all used up by gw2.exe. Run fine for a while tho and didnt get the same error.

Hey everyone.

Most people might know this error. It has been asked allot of times and still nobody has a fix. I cant find a topic about it anymore to find a answer, so decided to make my own.

My client crashes very random. Sometimes not for hours and sometimes every 2 min. Ive tried many things. And even gone so far to buy new memory and re-installed my pc. Right now im running a clean system fully up-to-date only running Skype, Teamviewer and GW2.

My system:


CPU: AMD 1090t
MB: Gigabyte 990FX-a UD3
RAM: Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit Dominator Platinum
Graphics: ATI 6970 Club 3D 2G
HDD: 1x OS: OCZ vertex 3, 1x Games: OCZ vertex 3 and 2x Data: 500G WD 7200rpm (so the game has his own SSD)

My system is fully water cooled and running under 30C. Everything is at default settings.

The error i get every time is attached. Was too long for the post…

  • Fix for me

This is bad ram. And no memtest will not always catch it.

Oke guys,

Sorry for waiting so long. Yesterday i bought new ram… Because i can and because this ram looks sexy (nope no real reason). And just to make sure the problem isnt the ram (well maybe a reason, but just to be sure….). Guess what!? IT WAS THE RAM! After buying new ram modules 3 different times (yes its crazy how far ive gone maybe) i finally can play.

It doesn’t matter if i overclock my CPU or GPU, drivers, applications (accept the known ones) it will keep running like it should. I tried my old ram and the crashes came back.

The weird thing is that this ram isnt even suported by my motherboard. And with a vol overclock (from 1,5 to 1,6v) i got it running. And it runs great!

I gues this doesnt help anyone. And it is still a weird thing. Because i never have crashes, the system runs stable, other games/programs run stable, memtest sees nothing, i could sometimes play fine for weeks, etc, etc. And then it start crashing again.

TL;DR: IT IS FINALLY FIXED. BUT IN A WEIRD WAY! I still think it is a problem at the clients end. Because this is the only game/program that has trouble.

PS: if someone still wants me to test something else. Just PM me ore leave a post to find out if the problem was something else.

Same here… was playing with the old NVIDIA drivers (pre 306) and though GW2 login screen told me it was a problem the game ran fine (though FPS sucked) … I didn’t want to use the new beta drivers from NVIDIA so I waited for the full release… once they came out I upgraded.

Now… in black citadel after running around for awhile I start to get this weird garbled grinding sound that starts low and gets louder and then the game crashes to desktop and windows 7 tells me there was an unrecoverable video card driver error. If I start up GW2 again the login screen never shows up and I get a “Guild Wars 2 is not responding” issue. I have to restart the entire PC.

Funny thing is it only seems to be happening in Black Citadel for whatever reason. If I leave that area to somewhere else it doesn’t happen.

Anyhow, here’s to hoping it gets fixed.

Then i sould downgrade your drivers again. Atleast you can play…

Everytime I launch the patcher my Wifi connection crashes.

More people seem to have this problem on the forum. But as Marmalade (funny name btw) said:

Posting info such as laptop brand and model, as well as OS, brand/model of router, state of portforwarding/dmz is highly encouraged

This might go a little far in fixing int… but maybe you can use a page filter (wireshark) to see what happens. Maybe your modem/router has a protection checked “on” that blocks certain kinds of traffic behavior?

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere. But i coudnt find the 700++ threat…

Are both your GPUs in CCC set to Default? Maybe there is a profile or setting set to overwrite game settings?

Cannot click on objects after an area change

I’ve been playing a lot in the two areas just south of Lions Arch, which are surprisingly buggy compared to all the others areas i’ve been in. However sometimes when i change areas all objects become unclickable and the only way to fix it is to logout and restart the game.

I started noticing this only recently maybe after the last patch was installed. Its never happened before and does not happen with any other game or program i use.

I use a logitech g500. All drivers and software is up to date.

I think this may be a bug but i don’t see anyone else mentioning it so it might just be a tech issue. I’ll see if anyone else has the same problem. If not then it must be a problem with my mouse.

Yes it is a bug. I’ve had it to sometimes. But because its so infrequent i didn’t bother posting it.

Try a repair or wait for a patch is what i suggest…

Computer crash report - logs attached

Tonight is the third time since patch that the client has made my computer completely shut down. I consistently get 40-60 FPS and do not have heat issues. Please help me determine what could be wrong. Log attached:

I know this isnt realling helping you fix the problem. But you are not alone. I and alot of people get the same problems.

It seems that the game tries to write data somewhere. And the crash error is known for other applications aswell.

Just keep looking at the forum main threats (the big ones) for a solution.

Good luck!

And try to use a spoiler for your logs

Game randomly crashing when sending chat response

I don’t know if it should be in tech support or game bugs but here what happens…
Sometimes (10% of the time) when I type in chat and send the message, the game will freeze and I can’t do nothing but Ctrl Alt Del to shut down the game…
Is there a way to fix this because it’s starting to get real annoying…

This seems very random. To random to point at something that causes it. Could you try testing some more?

Guild wars crashing my comp.

I started crashing yesterday only in guild wars. It could be an hour before it does it or 30 seconds. I believe it could be linked to the new NVIDIA drivers.

Games NOT crashing comp.

Borderlands 2.
Battlefield 2.
Torchlight 2
Deadspace 2

These games are having no impact on the performance of my PC. After guild wars kept crashing I went to Borderlands 2 and played for 7 hours with no crash, Battlefield I just played for 2 hours to make sure it was not a by chance scenario. Then after that I went back to GW2 and within 1 min I got a crash.

Anyone else having problems?

Crashing how? Blue screen, black screen, audio freez, whole pc freez, quit to desktop, error message etc etc.

Sound disappears and Only Beeping is heard, Then Crash follows.

I have the same problem.

I have 3 options to play my audio.
- Realtek ALC889 codec High Definition Audio 7.1-channel (omboard audio)
- My hdmi monitor
- My pci audio card

I disabled my pci card to test something. And now every time i play at some random point my audio gives this “pulsing” sound. Dont have a fix for everyone tho… My fix is that i switch back to my pci card audio.

Edit: This happends every time i play, any map, any type (pve/pvp), etc.

Does Retaliation reflects dmg back when you block or Aegis blocks ?
