I have two computers, and BOTH have started freezing and crashing since the latest GW2 update. One PC gives me a scrambled BSOD and restarts everytime.
The other PC will just straight up freeze, forcing me to manual reset. There was one instance that I was able to end the process and I was given an error report to send to Anet.
There is no way that something has happened to both my PCs. There has to be something wrong on the GW2 client end.
Neither of you seem to understand how hardware works since you keep laying blame on this game. IMO it’s been explained several times and quite well might I add.
If you are getting bluescreens, why don’t you get your head out of your kitten and run the BSOD code against a google search to find out what your REAL problem is. I’m being quite blunt aren’t I? Yes, yes I am, too many people are quick to jump and yell wolf. I can’t tell you the types of calls you get as a system admin from all the departments you handle, and this thread shows the same PC user mentality that we deal with on a daily basis.
Now, let’s just say that what abomally said was factual, they included system root code that shut down a user’s computer. What reason would they have for it? Again, as mentioned, everyone would have their pc shutting off, which is clearly not happening. Would this make sense from a financial standpoint and/or legal standpoint? Answer is an astounding NOPE!
If your pc is randomly shutting down, the first things I would look at would be power supply and motherboard. Regardless of your claim “it only does it in Guild Wars 2”, fact of the matter is, that means your computer is NOT stable.
Should also add, a poor electrical system and/or wiring in your household can also cause issues due to poor efficiency.
first of all i know how hardware works, if i was getting a blue screen i would not be here talking on these forums. further more its not a claim that it only does it when i try to play GW2 its a fact, and if my computer was not stable it would be doing all the time on other games or even when i am on the internet. As i stated before the motherboard is 2 months old and i had no problem before this major update. it had only started after this update. also if it just hardware issue, then why are several people having this same problem right after the update. you are going to tell me that all of our systems are all of a sudden unstable and that there is no chance that something with the update COULD have messed things up?
all my computer parts are new like two months old new, i don’t see how you can honestly say it’s my hardware when this is the only game that it dose it on and only after the major update changes here in April. the point is i can wold of tanks max graphics STO and many other games until my eyes pop out and ears bleed and nothing happens to my computer, but when i log into GW2 i am on for maybe 15 mins and computer shuts down, and my GPU only get around 70C before it shuts down, that’s not over heating.
Honestly, it’s your hardware. Although it may not be overheating – shutting down is a hardware issue. Also, just because components are new, it doesn’t mean they can’t be defective.
What brand and wattage is your power supply?
my power is a BGF 750 watt, but like i said it only happens on this game so its hard to believe that it is a hardware issue.

I am having the same problem with the game crashing my computer after about 15 mins of being logged on. i am running AMD Athlon 760k quad core, R9 270 graphic card 8 gigs of ram. all my temps are running fine it only crashes when trying to play GW2 and i have yet to fine a fix for it.
yes i understand that it is different that the map completions, the think is i went back and compared maps with my wife who has it 100% and fond two areas i missed and i got xp for discovering those, but it stayed at 156/167. That is why i was wondering if it was bugged or something. and thank you for the link i had totally for gotten about Mount Maelstrom and Sparkfly Fen as being apart of magumma jungle, so i guess that where i need to go. once again ty.
Not sure if i am posting this in the right spot or not but it seems that my maguuma explorer achievement is not recording just staying at 156/167, just wondering if this is known as a bug or not and if so is there any time frame on when it will be addressed?
i have the same issue already put in a ticket ran all the stuff they said to and the said it was my internet, which is funny cuz this the only game it dcs on. it has to be there sever for all these people in different areas haveing the same trouble
i have had this problem with the Dcing, i put in a ticket and still having the problem just got Dced during the event and when i logged in it put me in overflow
Here a suggestion, how about implementing Driectx 11 into game, and maybe implementing more use out of people GPU. I feel that the low FPS and lag issue that this game has is being pushed to the side and to help people forget it you guys are pumping out more content. Personal i would rather see a fix with these issues, instead of have new content that causes more people to DC all the time. Its been almost a year and these issues have not been fixed, and personally where addressed and fix you have less support tickets to deal with.
