Issue
GW2 will freeze for a 4-10 seconds and then restore. Windows notification window will read something along the times of, “Game driver crashed and restored”.

I noticed this happens commonly in the HoT maps but does happen in normal maps. I’ve had this happen whether the map is populated or empty. The crashes will sometimes happen several times within the span of 10 minutes. Sometimes I can go a whole hour without a crash.

Can anyone help me? These crashes are driving me crazy and have led to a lot of deaths in game.

I wanted to add! I’ve experienced abuse from people that blocked me I just tried to ignore. I’ve had people say some truly vicious things and lots of sexual harassment. Of course I block/report and I usually never engage them but that doesn’t mean the system isn’t flawed. They block you but have power to still harass you? That’s unfair and cruel.

Saying, “Ignore it” is ignorant. Why shouldn’t this be changed/fixed? Why would you give trolls or otherwise vicious people the power to passive aggressively verbally abuse you without you defending yourself regardless if you should be engaging these horrible people or not?
