I have a 295. I was having the same black screen issue. I have also had the issue with other games. The Anti-Aliasing fix didn’t seem to work.
What has worked is the Anti-Aliasing fix AND setting it to single GPU. There are two step I took to disabling multi-GPU.
1st I set the Multi-Display/Mixed-GPU acceleration to single display performance mode under Global Setting under manage 3d settings.
2nd I changed it to disable multi-GPU mode under set multi-GPU and PhysX Configuration. (I alos made sure PhysX is on the non display GPU)
Hmm.. interesting, I will try this out and see how it works since I also run 295 but in SLI.
I might add that this is surely an issue with the game. I do get this issue with other games as well, but GW2 is the ONLY game it’s 100% reproduceable with every try.
In other games I may get it one time in 4-5 hours, or even at all. So while it has something to do with the graphics I would say that at least something is majorly wrong with the game itself and not our drivers/settings or nVidia’s drivers.
So I just finished my little support talk with the nVidia guy and he said that there wasn’t anything else they could do and that I should talk to the developers.
Is there any fix being worked on at the moment? Would be great if we could get a word on that.
Thanks.
did anyone tried adding the -dx9single from the shortcut target line?
Yeah, it didn’t work, at least not for me.
Bumping this since I just tried to flash/update my BIOS which did not work. I also tried downloading the Nvidia 295.10 drivers and installing them in safe-mode (which I was recommended doing by the nvidia support guy I’m consulting per mail in concern about this problem.
That did not work either, so I have nothing else up my sleeve. This is probably indeed a problem with the nvidia drivers OR the game itself.

As someone else stated with the AT&T situation, I too can’t use that fix since my ISP delivers the modem and router all in one, so I can’t bypass that in any way.
If you, mod, meant that I should indeed just connect my TP to that modem then I can say that I’ve tried it and it didn’t work.
I hope that a solution can come to this problem in a few hours since I’ll be flashing my BIOS after that (read about someone that solved it like that), although I really don’t want to flash it.
Thanks for all the reports guys. We’re currently looking into this issue and so the more diagnostic information we can collect from you guys the better (DxDiags, Speccy, CPU-Z reports, etc.).
Also, if you could let us know exactly when this black screen issue occurs, how often, if it’s ever gone away, and what you have done to temporarily resolve the issue would be a huge help to us as well.
DxDiag attached.
The black screen occurs every time I log into the game (read, actually get into the game after the loading screen).
It appears immediately, like after 1 second.
It’s 100% reproduceable.
It has never gone away as of yet.
Solutions I’ve tried so far:
I have tried the suggested solution which I found here with putting anti-aliasing to application controlled.
I have tried the -dx9 solution but it didn’t work.
I have tried repairing the game.
I have tried updating windows with SP1 and checking my DirectX version (which is DirectX 11 according to DxDiag)
I have tried running with a special Authentication shortcut.
I have tried running the game with 295 SLI and single, also without multi-GPU support.
I have tried checking the temperature (running firmly at 62 degrees even in the game so not an overheating issue).
I have dusted off my computer.
I have checked CPU temperature (also normal at 45 degrees or something).
I have downloaded new drivers for my motherboard.
I have tried running it with administrator rights.
I have tried running it with 1 CPU core.
I have tried running it with CPU priority “high”.
I have tried running it with a “-dx9single” in the shortcut.
