I am getting the same overlapped I/O error 997 trying to reinstall the game. This is a list of things I have tried but I still get errors :
- Rebooting the computer
- trying a fresh install (and trashing the folder in appdata)
- running the program in admin mode
- disabling my anti-virus
- relocating the game directory
- running in repair mode (which just kicks out another error about Coherentui . eye failing)
I seem to have joined the crowd of other people having this problem – I can’t change the dye on my transmuted T2 sylvari chestpiece. It seems to just be the chest – I’m able to change the pants just fine. Attempting to remove the chestpiece with the dye “changed” in the hero panel crashes the game. If I close out the hero panel and bring it back up, the dye reverts to the previous color. Changing zones, logging out, and logging from different clients results in the same problems.
From a quick search of the forums, this is seems to be a fairly common problem, some reporting this issue back in September. Have they addressed this issue at all?
Attached a picture showing an example.
Post patch edit: Well it seems this maintenance build pushed through tonight cleared the problem for me, at least with that particular piece of armor.
I am having this same issue with my Sylvari T2 chestpiece that I transmuted over my exotic chestpiece from AC. From a short search of the forums, this appears to be a long standing and common bug.
Post patch edit: Seems the maintenance build pushed through tonight (1/23) cleared up the bug for me.
I’ve been crashing to desktop a lot recently, especially since the Lost Shores update. It usually occurs whenever I’m using waypoints to change zones, but occasionally it’ll do it when a dungeon is loading or I’m in gameplay with a lot going on.
It usually gives an error like this: —> Crash <—

I attached my DxDiag. It’s not a great system, so I don’t know if I need to pull down the Graphics or anything. Running Win 7 32-bit. Anyone else having this problem?
