Guild Wars 2

The Snowball fight was my favorite event it GW1. AN Ruined it in GW2. It just isn’t fun to play anymore with the total lack of teamwork due to the Achieves being tied in the way they are.

It sounds like hackers are using bots and destroying the game economy. They are probably working to stop the bots and ban the accounts that use them before bringing the trading company back online to mitigate the damage the bots are causing. My best guess……..

These issues don’t seem to happen with other games. I beta tested and played SWTOR and never had the kind of problems i have had with this game. 6 years of development and this is what we get……

So it has nothing to so with the gold to gem ration then as you stated?

Why does it take 3 hours to update a gold to gem ratio??

Same for me. Just waiting on some kind of update.

It IS a software problem. Likely the way the drivers handle the game. Finding the right combination of lowered graphics to get the drivers to handle the game without crashing the game seem to be the key to getting it to work. For me it was disabling “Character Animation” and “High res textures” in game. I now have no problems and a high fps. It will not work for all, each card/driver package will be slightly different.

Caedmon, you realize that hardware and software issue are different don’t you, and that drivers are software? How about the fact that game manufacturers are SUPPOSED to make their game work with all drivers?

Try disabling “Character Animation” and “High res textures” ingame. It helped me.

Cbuzz, do you really think that the 6 pc’s you have are a clear and accurate representation of ALL pc’s on the planet??? That is just silly. The whole, " I don’t have a problem therefore there can’t be a problem for anyone else" is just dumb. Think before you post.

Tam, have you ran memtest overnight to look for errors? They way you crash on Chrome makes me think it is memory.

ATM, Crashes is a very common problem for a lot of people. Crashes, Black screen, BSOD etc etc. is the most typical thing for GW2 right now. Did you try changing the Anti-Aliasing the GW2 team postet on the forum? :

If you did that, try disabling “Character Animation” and “High res textures” ingame.

I had the same problem, and tried everything. This is what worked for me. I hope it works for you too.

I play SWTOR at max graphics. I get about 70-90 FPS on it. Never any problems.

Ok, I made the Texture and Animation changes. I lowered both. The game has run stable for almost 3 hours. No crash. I’ll test it more later.

“Assertion: *bucket == block
File: ..\..\..\Core\Platform\Common\MemAllocatorTLSF.cpp(318)

That from your log sounds suspiciously like either a memory problem or running out of memory. With 8GB of physical RAM, I find this remarkable."

I know right? I ran memtest for 7 hours last night, and no errors. It might be the way the game handles memory, don’t you think?

Thanks for the suggestions Tjynde.

I already have AA set to “let application decide”. i will try the other two and post the results later.

Just type dxdiag in the run box, then save the result to desktop.

It is the game smoke. Thousands of people have exactly the same problem.

For the fun of it, I ran memtest for 7 hours last night. No memory errors. Can’t be hardware.

My system is far stronger than yours. My old rig, similar to yours, runs gw2 ok. Gl pretending it isn’t a real problem for others!

Not even close, i have an open ticket. There are THOUSANDS who cannot play due to bad programming of this game. Nothing more.

If you find a way, let the rest of us who cannot play the game due to bad programming.

We have to wait for a patch to play the game.

Womp, I am beginning to suspect it is an issue with the game engine, which means it will never be fixed. Some can play it, others can’t, with no fix in sight.

There are thousand of us in the same boat. GW2 team have no idea what is wrong. I have been trying to get a response from then all day. Nothing…..

Well, thanks for nothing guild wars 2 team!! I guess I’ll figure it out on my own or just not play the game.

That seems relevant, from your Arenanet.log.

I think the freeze is the game crashing but not minimizing for the crash wizard to work correctly, thus freezing your system. I have notices that on my system.

This may help, the Arena file.

I now think i know what is causing it to freeze. The game crash wizard seem to be what is causing the freeze. The game crashes but never shuts down completely because of the crash wizard trying to work, however you can’t get to the crash wizard due to the game screen never closing/minimizing.

The game will freeze(mouse still moves but can’t alt/tab to desktop), or crash to desktop. Most often it will freeze. Never a BSOD. Temps never get above 60c. I have turned off all overclocking assist things ATI puts in thier control program.

I have no problems with any other games.

I have tried three sets of drivers
12.8
12.7 beta
the new 12.8_cap2

I tried lowering the graphics
I have tried running the repair
I am out of options.

I have included a dxdiag file.

The game is just unplayable as is.

There are new drivers released yesterday. I have the same problem. I have tried everything too.

It will wear out your SSD to repair files like that all the time. You never want lots of files to swap like that on a SSD.

I have tried every suggestion, nothing works. it still crashes.

Im going to try the beta drivers and see what happens.

I am using the 12.8 Cat drivers. The latest there are.

I don’t have lagging issues at all, just crashing like everyone else that uses ATI video cards(it seems). Here is a dxdiag file. Maybe this will help find the problem.

Same thing as Drakus2719. This is a GW2 issue not a 32 bit issue. I can’t get past lvl 16 because of crashes. It crashes so often I can’t play it!!

They are the newest drivers available. GW2 will lock the PC up. CTRL ALT DELT will not always work. I sometimes have to hit the reset button, which of course could damage my machine. But that is the state of the game. I even tried the repair thing, it said all files are good! At this point I am so frustrated I am considering demanding a refund.

Appearantly this game HATES ATI. I have the same problem, with a slightly newer card, the 7700. It is getting worse every day. I can’t even play for more than 30 minutes today without a crash/computer lock up. This game was more solid in BETA than it is now. I put in a ticket, posted to twitter, but nothing from GW2 team. I guess i wasted $60 on a game that will not play.

I have the same problem. In the Arena.net.txt there is this error,

Having to wait until lvl 25-30, lions arch lvls. to get this stuff is crazy. I can’t even get the game to run for more than an hour without crashing. If they can’t fix this game and at least make it playable it will fail horribly.
