For all 32bit OS there’s probably a solution:
- run Command Prompt as administrator
- run this command: bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072
- restart your computer and play GW2

I was able to play HOT content without any crash after this. And I don’t have to use the lowest graphic settings.

I will try this tonight and let you know. Sad if a player can offer more support than ANet.

UPDATE

Tried for 15 mins before dinner. Worked, no crashes, did a lot of map changes to test.

After dinner, played again. 2 hours in WvW, Verdant Brink, and Auric Basin. No crashes. Finally got my first full map participation reward since HoT launched.

Thing to note is that this setting lets GW2 take most of the RAM, except the bare minimum Windows will reserve for itself and required services. So attempting to ALT+ TAB will probably crash GW2 or freeze the whole system while Windows scrambles to re-allocate memory. So, it works, but if you use the wiki and voice chat, you might want to do those on phone or tablet.

So, yeah, sadly the best fix so far came from another player and not ANet.

Try playing in windowed GW2, not full screen. Only from time to time everything frooze for a moment(mainly when using messenger on FB or watching something on YouTube) but I haven’t got any crash.

I have 32bit OS, before yesterday’s update core Tyria was running smoothly for me, HOT content was crash festival… But yesterday everything changed and I didn’t have to play game to crash- starting client was sufficent. I’ve read at FB comments that manually changing IncreaseUserVA to 3072 can help at tried this. I didn’t have enough time to test but I’ve played around hour- I’ve done Tarir defence meta event without any crash.
Now I’m planning to hop to game for longer time and I’m hoping that solution’ll help. GW2 has awesome playerbase- they know better than devs what to do with game to be playable. :O

Today I tried to do few achievements for first part of PS HoT. Almost all went smoothly, but I found that two of them are bugged for me:

- Sylvari Solidarity – my friend had opened instance and he was at his sylvari char. We tried twice and I haven’t got this achievement. Is it possible that a cause was a fact that my friend had done this achievement already?

- Conservation of Resources – turret was at 60% of HP. Also I had that buff(being able to do achiv) till the end of the mission. And no achievement for me. I tried to do it few times more but now I don’t have the buff. Even after reloging- no buff, no achievement.

I’ve done story, now I’m only replaying for achiev. I tried at other characters(with story also done)- no buffs, no achievements.
