Guild Wars 2

I’m convinced they don’t know whats going on. Hopefully in the longer run this gets fixed so I can return to the game.

Hi guys I been playing since the 3 day pre-start event . 4 months I played care free.
Last week I got hit by the dreaded black screen issue. My symptoms are the same as you all above, log in play a few minutes then bam black screen. I tried 2 modem/routers netgear d6300 and d-link2740b. My main/gaming PC is hardwired to the router modem combo. My firewall is turned off. I port forwarded 80,443,6112,6600 when my firewall was on also. I also tried 2 graphics cards (nvidia gtx560ti and amd-atihd5670 ) and all the related fixes mentioned in the forums and 4 different driver versions saved on my system. I reinstalled the game, re-formatted my PC and got rid of MSI afterburner still no luck. I also removed overclocks from my cpu. It seems hard to understand why you could play for 4 months and these issues all of a sudden become such big issues and conveniently the cause of unexplained crashes. I’m convinced its not a graphics card issue. I submitted a report in game and did not hear back. I also went to microsoft.com to update my direct x. It found no upgrades required.
I told the guys in my guild that I wouldn’t be playing anymore yesterday. It’s sad but seems I have no other choice.
This problem seems widespread. I’m surprised its proving so difficult to nail.
Do you think it’s wise to go around telling people to turn off their firewalls to play?
I’ll be watching the forums hoping for a fix.
