Guild Wars 2

Gw2 was not the only game it had problems with, but when looking into it I noticed the trend of every game it would stall on was a dx9 game. With ones using other versions running perfectly fine

Which card do you have though?

Mine was less than a year old, and I’m not the only one who has specifically had problems with the combination I had. I know that it doesn’t affect every amd user.

So, for the past few months I’ve been having a hell of a time with the game causing my graphics card tostop responding randomly, as well as artefact at random points of gameplay.

After months of dealing with this and trying everything I could think of I stumbled on the solution.

I’m going to guess you have an AMD card. And I have bad news for you. In their newer drivers amd managed to mess something up with directx9 which is what gw2 happens to run (along with a ton of other games) and there is currently 2 fixes I can say work for it.

1. If you have windows 10 you need to do a clean install of 7/8, whichever you had before upgrading. After that you need to install a legacy version of the amd driver, before it was called crimson. At that point the game should run again, however if you try to play any brand new games you’ll likely have to install a newer driver and switch back and forth depending on what game you want to play.

2. I know this is the most painful one, and it’s the one I opted to eventually do. You need to get a new gpu. I would avoid amd for the time being.

Alternatively, you could try and deal with it until they figure the issue out, but it seems this has been a problem for over a year so I wouldn’t hold your breath for a fix.

I’m not 100% sure if it’s every single amd gpu that has this problem but for reference I have a Radeon r9 280×. I’ve heard of this problem with every gpu in the 280/290 series as well as other seemingly random ones

I would absolute LOVE anyone who could help me out with mats for ascended medium armour. Haven’t managed to make any of the pieces yet. I just absolutely love fractals and am having a hard time gearing up to get the AR to do anything other than T1’s

Also, if anyone on NA servers want to learn fractals feel free to message me, I’ll run with anyone who wants to learn!<3
