Guild Wars 2

From what I have gathered the crash issues are largely impacted by your graphics settings. Finding the right combination of these settings will often fix the issue. Here is a copy and paste from another post that worked for me….

I seem to have fixed my crashing issue. I would crash every few minutes as well and the game was unplayable. I did two things and played for 4 hours last night with no crashes.

1) Go to Nvdia control panel, hit the button that says “restore”, this will prompt you to set the control panel settings to default, click yes.

2) Launch GW2 and change graphics settings to the preset “Best Performance”. Now I know you, I, and a lot of others have systems that should be able to handle this at medium or high settings, but if you want to play at least try this. It doesn’t look very pretty but it works for now.

Enjoy the game, your milage may vary with this, but I was having unplayable crashes constantly. If it works for you, you can try adjusting individual graphic settings higher and see if it remains stable, if not just revert it back, I haven’t messed with any of the options for now and instead will play like this until Anet resolves the underlying issue, I am just happy to at least be able to play and level up for now.

Hope this helps someone who was having issues, It was beyond frusterating for me so I had to share the two steps that helped me, at least until a permanent fix is patched in.

Sigh… this game and forum, I crash in the game constantly to desktop, I write a long response here and it breaks the forum saying I need to be an admin… WTF ANET?

Seriously frusterating for your paying customers.

To my original post, I crash to desktop constantly now (less than 5 min of play, changing zones, looking at map) It worked fine for the BWE. I play hundreds of different games on my PC, none of them crash like this.

SPECS:
Win 7 32bit
GTX 460
Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM

Please Anet, put a lot of people on this, screw the TP, screw the graphical glitches, those don’t mean anything to the people who paid for the game and cannot play it almost two weeks after release…
