Guild Wars 2

Can you make a screenshot of the issue?

No you didn’t. Stop spreading this misinformation. There are many many topics of people having this issue with INTEL and NVIDIA hardware. There are also many issues of people with exactly the same builds having completely different performance.

Stepped on your toes much? Seriously can your crappy attitude. It is not misinformation. Yes there are people having issues of the same type on Intel based cpu’s and Nvidia Gpu’s, but most of the issues Ive read(not just on here) are based on either a AMD Cpu or a AMD ATI Gpu.

so get over yourself. Dont kitten post if you don’t want help.

Ah I see this now… Now a twist to it. Having a dynamic IP address I’m guessing there is no way to work with this untill I guess the entire range has been authorized one by one?

Cant get a Static one?

The nvidia Beta drivers arevery stable and you no longer need to upgrade to the Beta driver. Just download the latest 306 released driver and you will be fine.

Noticed most of the issues are with AMD Systems or Ati Videocards. Have you tried running Beta Catalyst drivers?

A transistor making a Whiny noise is an issue, those things can explode. Not to mention the smell they bring forth(good lord, you’ll be venting your room for days!)

I would really suggest you RMA it and make sure you get a NEW card and not a refurb.

How old is your card?(when did you buy it i mean)

No I don’t, but if it was a really big widespread issue, these forums would be a blaze.

They are ablaze. As I said several times now – without statistics there is no telling how much of a minority or – God forbid – majority, the players experiencing issues are.

Actually they aren’t. This seems to be about normal amount of Technical Support activity for any major MMO launch.

@GalaxyRed,

Be glad they are doing that. There is really no reason for everyone to post the same issue as a new thread, specially when there is a ongoing thread for it. As for the merger of the crash thread. Well I am guessing a mod made a mistake on that one.

Out of curiosity, does it crash with an error, or does it simply disappear?.

DaveK.1023:

Syrellaris.9125:

I am not denying there are more people out there experiencing these issues and that those people are not posting on the forums, and sure the population is probably higher then a handfull but it isn’t as big as people make it sound to be.

And you like, you know… have statistics at hand to support your statement ?

No I don’t, but if it was a really big widespread issue, these forums would be a blaze.

I believe Lavalys everest is capable of monitoring your read and write data in percentages, but I haven’t used it in a while.

I am not 100% familiar with Sapphire, but do they not deliver there own utility software to OC there cards with or Down clock them?

Syrellaris,

Ok.. 35 fps is low. If you think otherwise then that’s ridiculous. And people are posting those solutions because they themselves are havin low performance issues.

Again, without knowing the exact hardware these people are running, 35 FPS is not low. its not extremely High either, but its normal amount of FPS. The only Difference between 30 and 60 FPS for example is that things seem a bit smoother but the difference is very minimal.

@mistbooster

Solid State Drives are not really good for gaming, its like you say they Write and read a lot of the hard drive. of course, they gotten better but in the long run it will lessen the lifely hood of your SSD. Just not instantly lol. It takes a pretty long time. SSD’s are small because they are best suited for Heavy load programs, like Operating Systems and say Photoshop.

As for the Whine, I am not experiencing any of it on my GTX 560 TI Asus. You might just have your voltage settings to high really.

Home Style,

If you think that 35 FPS is low, then you are mistaking. Without Knowing what there settings are set to, or what type of hardware they have, 35 is considered normal.

The Black Citadel is also very busy capital, just like lions arch and there are tons of items to show on your screen, logic tells you your FPS is going to drop some specially during prime Time.

Also a few people posting threads about the same issue in countless posts and individual posts, does not mean the problem is widespread. Not to mention the “thousands” of replies in the single thread for the issue is also people trying to help solve peoples issues.

Alright you posted some fix from Customer Support, but what is the Error you are receiving when the game crashes? Obviously, you can boot the game so its not a download failed error.

Incompatible memory mostly comes with a Stop error (Bsod) but in rare cases it can just cause the screen to go black.

You have to go here… (check the image)

Is this risky? How much should I change?

Yes it is risky, its one of the most dangerous types of overclocking.
Always start with small steps.

You probably have an unstable memory, or one that is not very compatible with your Motherboard.

@Bigtone,

Where are you from and what is your Internet Service Provider.

If you are Running DSL, If it is a digital phone line(analog still requires a Splitter) you just plug the phone line into the Modem/Router combination they send you, then wire the phone from it and your Internet.

These type of devices configure ports just like stand alone routers do.

Can someone help me please ?

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4407045

Look my score and my PC. How can i get crap score like that with this high end config ?

Processor
Intel Core i7-860 Processor
Processor clock
1714 MHz <- that

And how to fix this ? In the hardware list of 3Dmark, my CPU is third ranked … I dont understand.

Means your PC is bottlenecking. If it isn’t your CPU or Videocard then the obvious flaw is in your motherboard, ram memory or a combination.

Not that I am aware off. I am running a Asus Nvidia 560 Ti and it runs fine. Download the latest nvidia drivers and during installation choose custom instead of express and make sure you have the fresh install option selected. then just continue installing like normal(press next, next next etc)

This will make the installer delete all previous drivers from nvidia and install a complete clean driver.

6112 is however just a normal Gaming port used by most if not all games for online play.

Judging from your videocard, im guessing its a laptop? Invest in a good Aluminum Laptop Cooler. A good one is around 50 dollars / 50 euros.

I had the problem with AVG that making an exception for Guild Wars 2 did not work. You could try to install the free AVG firewall and try the AVG fix posted here.

As for port forwarding, make sure that the TCP trigger is set to 6112 and on your Computers IP adress.

@sccdemir.7906

It helps because then people like myself, Who are Computer Tweakers and even people that worked in the computer repair business, thus know more about computers that a lot of other people will, can help you out.

Screaming that something is the games fault and that your system specifications are a+++ to run this game is the oldest trick in the book and pretty much useless. There are hundreds of thousands possible variations of computer hardware / software combinations that could cause your issue.

By telling us what hardware you have, what driver version you are running etc helps us determine were the problem could lie and come forth with a possible solution.

But maybe MDK is right and you should spend this money studying, because obviously your rage clouds your common sense.

Sounds like the game is not addressing the Sound Drivers properly, I fear the only way this can be fixed is due to a game update. Reporting it is a good step forward

If your router has a UPnP setting, make sure you enable it.

This problem should be solveable by downloading the latest DX version of the microsoft website and to remove your current videocard drivers and Download the latest version of your videocards manufacturer website (in example "Nvidia.com)

Can I ask you what issue you are experiencing?

I did read your post and yes I know you disabled your firewall, but that still does provide any information. Knowing what type of Firewall program you are using helps a lot more then “I disabled my firewall”.

What I want to know is, What are your system specification, in example your hardware, including Routers, modems, etc.

I did read your post though. It could be that I misread something.

The thing is, if you just level your way through a zone you should have the required lesser amount of fine materials needed, in example what i posted above, having 24 of each item without grinding. Only the large amount of fine materian(the venon sacs) would require some farming to do. In the case you wont meet the 24 required amount of totems, bloods, scales etc. One would at most have to buy a few of them on the AH. Which only costs a couple of silver. but less then 20-30 silver.

it is completely possible to level 2 crafts to say lvl 150 by spending a few hours farming the larger quantities of materials(from 75-150 that are boneshards and small venom sacks. Of which you need 40-50 each per craft) and spending less then 80 silver.

Simple solution.

install windows 7 pro 64 bit(your serial key should be compatible). You are currently using only 3gb of your current 4 GB memory.

Also it would not hurt to upgrade your Memory to 8gb instead of 4.

I believe the problem is in your Graphical Driver. Your card should be able to run the game at around 30-40 FPS constant on medium to probably even high settings.

What you could do is Delete your Videocard drivers, Reboot your PC into safemode and Use a Driver Cleaner (like driver cleaner pro) to delete any remaining files of your videocard driver. Then Freshly install the latest Ati Radeon Drivers, or even there Beta drivers.

You have the windows firewall disabled and you still get the download error?

Your Motherboard contains 1 pci-express 16x slot. Good. Get yourself a decent videocard. For example a Asus 560 Ti DirectCU II card. It values around 212 Euros.

Your motherboard also contains 4 memory slots of DDR2 1066 memory that can run in Dual Channel. Go Get 2 packs of Corsair XMS2 DHX — 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 Memory Kit (TWIN2X2048-6400C5DHX) Sets. They are around 50 euros per pack.

This upgrade nets you.

1x better videocard
1x upgrade of 4gb in memory (8gb total) (4 sticks of 2 GB)

Shadows to low and having it turned off are two complete different things. Have you turned shadows off or do you have it running on low.

slapandtikle.8145:

only the dumb and ignorant would come to the conclusion that it is not programming related (the ones that don’t know any thing about computers), there is a real issue with the fps and it is scary to thing arena net is blatantly ignoring the major issue.

Yes, altough you could also listen to people that work with computers or are tweakers and thus have generally more computer knowledge then most of you do. Yelling it is the games fault could be true, but without knowing system specifications of the people effected you cannot say for certain.

What Firewall are you running.

Turn shadows off and set Draw distance to a lower setting. Might also work to set foliage to low(grass and kittens)

Here is an idea :

Supply some more information. For example :

What are your system specifications
What windows are you running and which version(32 or 64 bit)
What type of anti virus / firewall(combi or no combi) do you run

You know..be specific. Also make sure your Pagefile allocation is set to System managed and not custom in windows. This could help you with your 1455 error

Impossible to level it up as crafting? If you start at lvl 10 when crafting, by the time you hit lvl 30, you should have your craft at around lvl 125-130. Which allows you to make guess what, lvl 30-35 armor/weapons etc.

It does not require a lot of money, it only takes a an hour or two to farm the required "Fine"Materials like venom sacs, totems, scales, fangs, claws etc.

If the tank doesn’t hold aggro over the dps then it is the dps’s fault… The dps always has the option of slowing down to keep aggro under the tank but the tank can only do so much aggro and then he is topped out.

Whaaat. Ok, so, I played a human warrior for five years on and off, and I did a LOT of freaking Heroic dungeons in wrath and cata. My “option of slowing down” was to literally TURN AROUND and stop being useful for up to twenty seconds. How the heck is tanking not the job of the tank? I’m guessing you must have played a half rate one, because my friend I play with was a tank less geared than me as a dps, and I never pulled off him.

I used to play tanks during MMO’s and While I stopped playing wow a long time ago, I did play cata for a decent while before I got bored. But tanking was very very easy, specially as a death knight. I never had issues with it.

What I had issues with as a tank was Lack of healing. Plenty of healers do not know how to keep a tank topped off and when they NEED to be topped off. Then when the Tank dies, and the Boss is taking out dps, tank gets a Brez and DPS just keeps doing full damage while the tank is taunting like crazy, battling his cooldowns and kittens to get the aggro back.

Course if you still fail. its always the tanks fault. It is an ungrateful job, but it was somewhat fun if you had a good party or guild.

There is nothing wrong with crafting as it is. It does not cost a kitten ton of money if you pay attention and spend a few minutes looking at your proffession Tier materials.

They do not require insane amount of materials to advance a tier.
Sure it seems like its a lot to farm say 118 Tiny Venom Sacs so you can advance 2 professions in total to lvl 75. But These sacs drop plenty in certain maps that have a lot of spiders. Capable of getting that amount in just a few hours or half it and buy half etc.

Knowing and writing down the material costs to advance Crafting through Discoveries makes it a ton and ton easier.

Changes of items dropping are ofcourse not going to increase, just by knowing the amount needed, I never implied that. Knowing exactly how much one requires to finish a Tier in crafting helps new players in various ways.

For example they will not buy unnecessary amounts of the items or screw up by experimenting them-selfs. It saves them money in the long run as they are not wasting it on materials. They can also Sell there left over materials from a previous Tier on the Trading Post for some extra silver.

118 Venom Sacks is not a unrealistic number. There are various places one can farm more then 10 of those sacs in a relative short time of 30 minutes. They would have to spend a a couple of hours grinding mobs in a small area and when they get tired of it, buy the missing amount.

So in short, knowing how much you require optimizes your time in grinding them/spending gold on the AH for them.

Right now, I have both leatherworking and Huntsman on lvl 150. I spend 1g 60 silver on the trading post. I made mistakes in the first Tier 1-75 that costed me this amount of gold. If I hadn’t done that, I would have spend less then 1g on the TP to gain both proffessions to 150.

I am lvl 47. 4 levels of that are from crafting. in the other 43 levels I did not grind a single time for the mats I used.

Get my point.

I know that Leatherworking and Huntsman both are very expensive if you plan on buying materials.

or you could just spend a few minutes looking at how to levle your craft and determine how much you need of each item.

For example to get to lvl 75 in Huntsman one only requires the following items.

282Green Wood Logs
112 Copper Ore
60 Rawhide Leather Sections
12 Lumps of Tin
68 Tiny Venom Sacs
12 Tiny Claws
12 Tiny Scales
12 Tiny Totems

and to get to Leatherworking lvl 75 one requires the following

108 Jute Scraps
100 Rawhide Leather Sections
54 Spools of Jute
50 Tiny Venom Sacs
28 Bone Chips
12 Tiny Claws
12 Vials of Weak Blood
3 Tiny Scales
3 Tiny Totems

Ganadorf.3460:

What do you propose NCSoft/Anet does about it?

To read every report players make, note down the gold selling website adresses and any reference they make about gold selling and install a Spam filter that filters based on those and more parameters to stop the spam from appearing in map chat.

They could also make it so, the account gets locked, flagged for inspection instantly.
If other companies can do it and even modders in WoW, then so can Arena Net.

Sounds like a bug to me. Ive had people leave in groups and the dungeons never reset.

Seriously,

What is up with the tons and tons and tons and tons and tons, oh did I mention TONS! of butter that comes from small bags you get from killing, hidden staches etc?

is there a event coming up where all the female players need to play in a pool of slippery butter? Te kittens is going on!

@hellhound

I am not going to quote your entire message, just to annoying in this tiny forum postal area. Anyway ill just number em like you did.

Also, no it is not a learn to play issue. As I said before, I am not inexperienced in mmo’s and I never claimed wow mechanics worked here. I mentioned the dungeons in wow were too easy. Hence the reason I enjoy the harder challenge in this game.

1) The gargoyles were a priority to remove and they were removed. The fire still happens. It is in one of the 3-5 red rings she casts in such away they are nearly undodgeable. Again, this fire happens regardless. It is rather weak but it is there.

2) Yes i know my class has abilities that remove conditions, hell one of them even turns conditions into random boons. I know which ones they are. The problem is they have such a long cooldown and she casts poison so often, removing is pointless. btw I am a ranged class, moving to melee is not a good idea for me considering I do not have the vitality or toughness to sustain that long enough. But i shall try it with a different build later on.

as for commander Kohlen goes, It could be a bug but he does it quite often, even when your running up the stairs, not near him or in sight.

Regardless sure I was frustrated, I hate dieing and wiping. However I also know that dungeons and such are a constant tuning process. they are not magically finished in the first few weeks of release and I do believe these dungeons require tuning.
