See I have zero crashes with GW2. I built an AMD setup with a 270X 4G. I’ve never had a memory crash or crashes during WB battles. So saying that, “It’s GW2” is a cop out. My previous system with 2 Crossfired 5770s and a Phenom II never had crashing issues either. There is something else going on.

same here. I never crash in this game. It lags like hell sometimes but never crash.

there are a lot of factors involved in why. People should use there event viewer more and try and analyze why they are crashing rather than speculate. Check you logs and see what it says then come with that info and let us discuss it and see if we can find specific reasons other than guessing.

I never had this problem at launch either, only now when returning back to the game after over a year of not playing.

Well today I just disconnected now to character select from Inquest Golem for no reason. My net didn’t drop or spike, the game just threw me out to the select screen, and of course when logging back in I get a different map where the boss is already dead. Starting to get over the game.

I would first look at my graphics options, and also see what is running in the background besides GW2. Sounds like your PC is getting overloaded and dumps on you.

Agreed… you either need to update your graphics card and ram or turn your graphics down… You are trying to render too much at once and it’s crashing due to being overwhelmed

Strange I don’t get any frame rate issues but I will try playing around with the settings. I still feel they should make some kind of provision for people who dc/crash during fights. A grace period or something would be nice where you have a certain amount of time to log back into the map, instead of being dumped into an empty one on relog.

I tried joining parties but even then when you try to join the player at [example] it returns an error until someone leaves or dc’s so you just have to spam and hope.

It’s a GW2 thing. Built a brand new screaming machine last year and got it to crash to desktop fighting Karka Queen on the first day. It happens frequently on world bosses. Best advice is to simply play a ranged toon and auto attack facing away from the boss.

Sounds like a really great way to play the game lol

I started playing GW2 again after being away from the game for a lengthy period and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. I have been having some issues though. My client often crashes during some world bosses bringing up the send error report, which then doesn’t allow me to send the error. This is extremely frustrating as I end up not being able to kill the boss, because the map is full when trying to join again, or I miss the kill.

Doing world bosses is great fun. It is not however when you fight the entire fight almost but don’t get the satisfaction of killing the boss, and getting that sweet loot, because the game keeps crashing.

Most of the time it happens when fighting Tequatl or Claw of Jormag. I have missed out on boss kills too many times now because of this.. The latest crash happened when accidentally taking a screen capture.

Why is no prevision made for people dc’n or crashing? I don’t understand why there is not a grace period for someone to log back into the game, and continue the fight on the same map.
