For the past three or four days, I’ve been unable to play due to random crashes. Nothing seems to set them off – happens on all characters, all maps, doesn’t matter if I’m in the pavillion or completing a desolate map or doing a guild mission, etc, even if I’m just standing the game will crash.
It started with that item link hover bug a few days ago, that was the first crash, and ever since then it’s been crashing. Sometimes when I get the crash report, the entire game will freeze and I’ll have to ctrl alt del out of the game (the only thing that works) and then the crash report pops up. Other times the report pops and some sort of glitch accompanies it (two I noticed today were invisible NPCs and all the sound disappearing save for in game battle music) but I’m able to keep playing until it inevitably freezes.
I’ve never had issues with the game before, and this is the only game that’s crashed on me since this started. No viruses, my PC is about a year old, it’s got plenty of airflow (my CPU never rises above 40 C), the only thing I can think of hardware wise is maybe my RAM is going bad (I’ve only got 4GB right now because my second RAM stick went bad back in December-ish and I’ve been too lazy to go buy replacements) but last time that happened my PC itself would crash, which hasn’t happened at all since GW2 started crashing.
I’ve tried -repair, I deleted the .dat file and redownloaded everything, the only thing I haven’t done is a complete reinstall (which I’m trying to avoid, I don’t have the game discs with me offhand and the download speeds here are atrocious).
PC Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Professional 64 bit
CPU: Intel i5 3570K
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670
RAM: 4GB
Those should be the only relevant specs but if others are needed I’ll add them.
I didn’t save any of my crash logs, but if I decide to try and play again I’ll be sure to post them. Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated, please and thank you!
