Guild Wars 2

Been having the same problem. I wish we had the 64 bit upgrade to install and test out. Let us know if it improves your issues!

Well it seems like they did a few more updates. The performance issues haven’t really improved for me sadly. I did lower all the graphics levels as low as they could. (So sad, I was able to keep them pretty high before ) The crashes mostly happen if I have to load into a big city or an area where there are multiple players. Even when not in those areas, some NPC’s and players don’t completely load, they just look like green and blue blobs. And also pressing M to bring up the map is a big no-no. That is the most often thing that makes it crash.

We’ve been looking into upgrading to a 64 bit system, but that probably won’t be possible for a long time since it is not cheap.

I don’t get it. A week ago these crashes were hardly ever happening. I was fine with playing with the occasional crash. Why did they change it and increase the amount of memory needed by so much? You’d think that would make a LOT of people angry and make them unable to play the game?

I really hope this is just an issue that became much worse because of the patch today. From what other people are saying, a lot of new problems arrived after this new Queen event. I did what the first responder suggested and disabled the majority of the startup programs, and there aren’t any other programs running when I try to play GW2. Funny enough, I started a new level 1 character for fun and didn’t have the crash issue while I played for about 15 minutes. Hmmm.

Wait, the 32 bit system only recognizes that little amount of ram? Then why the heck do we have 32GB of ram installed in this desktop computer? Does it not even matter?

Sorry I am not as knowledgeable on these things, my husband built the computer. I just play GW2 on it.

My computer used to crash every once in a while, but ever since today, I can’t play more than five minutes without it crashing. Sometimes it gives me the error log, and sometimes it just closes the program and the message comes up that says “an error has caused the program to close.” I’ve attached the crash text – this was always the same text from when it crashed before, but now it’s just so often.
