Guild Wars 2

UJack.1860:

Intel i7-2720QM 2.2Ghz
8.00 GB RAM
Win 7 64-bit OS
GTX 555M

As you can see, I don’t have a 32 bit OS but I was having crashing issues for a while. I updated to the appropriate NVIDIA Beta drivers (both the 304.x and 306.x versions) and was receiving the same problem.

I have read elsewhere that GW2 may have problems with the Optimus Nvidia technology, which is what my laptop has. I ran the game with the integrated GPU and it ran fine (well, not visually but it functioned!). The issue seemed to be when the game launched with the dedicated GPU. I was on the verge of giving up when I decided to see if Windows could automatically solve the issue by having it troubleshoot the application. It ran the game through Windows XP SP2 compatibility and now I haven’t had a crash in at least 12 hours of gaming.

Hope this helps with any potential fixes for other users out there.

My original post, but I’ll have to retract the suggestion. Logged on today, greeted by another update, logged in and ran into a crash. Pretty much giving up, plenty of other PC games that don’t have this problem on release.
