Thorzilla.9124:

kitten it, thanks for the help but that didn’t do it. Still getting the same freeze and error :[

is still there the option in win 8 to run the game with compatibility mode as win xp sp3 ?

right click on the shortcut of the game and in tab compatibility choose win xp sp3

My client Crashes after i hit PLAY from launcher.

- Already done this:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Crash-all-the-time-now

- Updated my ATI Radeon HD 7800 drivers

- Done the shortcut+ “-repair”

- Still SAME error

---

- Attached dxdiag and Error Log files on post:

the error code associated with the windows backup service .

do you have win 8 ? maybe there are issues with this service , because the same error has it someone else in this forum that has win 8

clear the dns cache .

how : right click on your network icon ( on the down and right position in the desktop taskbar ) and choose repair .

then start the game again

the error code 0×80070716 in win 8 and win 7 associated with the backup service

i dont know how and why this service can create error to the client but …this is microsoft and things are weird always in a new windows os .

look how to disable the windows backup ( if you dont really want or ever use better disable it ) in this link http://www.kapilarya.com/fix-error-0x80070716-while-configuring-windows-7-file-recovery-in-windows-7-8

Ere we go. One ArenaNet.log file comming up.

again i see missing data in your client …. try to repair your client with the -repair line argument as descrpted in wiki .

I am running a 3770k
780gtx
16gb of ddr3 1:1 at 1600
256gb vertex 4 main drive
off a z77 Asus Sabertooth motherboard.

And even on a perfectly clean installation of windows and with the latest drivers I get terrible framerates and my CPU usage at BEST barely goes above 30-38% on all cores with my graphics card’s usage rarely going over 60%

What gives? (and by horrible I mean sub 60fps, ~45fps in crown pavilion and ~45fps in lions arch, 60fps in open areas but a sharp drop to 50fps 45fps when rotating, turning vsynch off gives me ~140fps until I rotate the camera where it stutters briefly and drops down to 45fps in any area before going back up.)
Big Zergs net me around 30-40fps in wvw and dragon fights. 40 is lucky.

Driving me nuts that this is still not looking to be improved in any way since release.

Oh and whenever the camera turns and the fps turns both the cpu and gpu usage percentages drop about 20%

I mean seriously my computer can run metro last light on max settings… and the cpu is no slouch.

Here is my Dxdiag output
http://pastebin.com/SJWRAANa

You think that you will have two AUDIO devices and everything will be fine ?

go to bios and disable the onboard audio and use only the asus pci audio device mate . the game opens many handlers for audio and as you can see in my post the onboard audio device “steal” cpu power https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/7-years-old-PC-without-LAG-in-WWW-1080p/first#post2643522 and the audio is the “guilty” for the lag spikes in game

or at least choose the asus from the options in the sound ( by default the gaem is using the default and propably it is using your onboard audio – aka realtek and not the pci aka asus xonar )

refresh your dns cache by right click on your network icon ( down right on windows taskbar ) and choose repair

corrupted data or old drivers and old directx since you did a “fresh” install

in stickies you will find guide how you will update vga drivers and directx

for repair the client ( i suggested ) there is the method in wiki

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments

add the argument -repair in a new shortcut

right click on your network icon and choose repair

badboy.5281:

Hi guys,

My systems specs are:

i7 2600k
AMD HD 7970 with 13.4 Catalyst Drivers(latest)
8 GB DDR3- 1600 RAM
Samsung HDD 7200 RPM – 1TB
Windows 7 – Updated to the newest build

But I get 20 FPS even on the lowest settings…. I run at 2560 × 1600 resolution but lowering that to 1600 × 1200 didn’t change anything, I still got 20 FPS on the lowest settings. Any help please?

this happens only in gw2 or to any game ?

because if this happen to all games i am sure you have forget to to put the extra external power to your vga

this could not happen even with a 3 years machine :p

i saw in your logs that your client have missing textures and crash the game .

try to repair the client with the -repair command as it descripted in this wiki page

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments

something like that will be your new repair shortcut

“c:;\\…\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -repair

also i saw that you have two video cards in your laptop. be sure that when you are playing you have plug the power cord amd you are using the nvidia vga not the intel and the power options in power on is maximum performance , no power saves and all these bu….its that do the new windows sometimes

i am reading daily the nvidia forums and i never saw any “response”

can open poster or someone else link us the the whole text in nvidia forums ?

my problem is that i have only one main well equipment char and it is a bunker guardian … the veterans just destroy immediately any defense that i have …. today i will try with a warrior that i will change him to full dps if i will have some change to pass this trial

i prefer to fight a whole zerg alone in www than these veterans …..

unlike the weekend where i had very special moments with [Punk] guild in our borderland and i thank you them ,i didn’t found time to enjoy as i should like open fights in www.

i hope anet slow a bit the pve content or make it just easier ….kitten* k i n g T4 kiel ellen took me more than 5 hours just trying ….. not completed yet since i have only one main and i know well only the bunker style

@covenn.7165 i know all these things and this is way i said as a second option to increased the range area of all (boons/skills/debuffs/fields etc) , but the in battle resurrection is the advantage that have the blob with purgs against a good guild team.

Karast.1927:

The problem is not the place but the population caps.

I like GvG and it is a lot of fun, but WvW is not meant for it.

Thes best example to be given of this is when you do GvG you might spend hours on a map not contribution to the map while eating up map spots.

I’ve seen this a few times where a BL map is undermanded and guilds fighting for keeps and objectives have members stuck in queue with 30-40 people at standing around doing / watching GvG.

I do not fault the GvG’ers for this but something needs to change. It’s hurting everyone.

i full agree ….

DevonCarver.5370:

Just wanted to hop in and mention, again, that the AoE cap on player skills is a technical limitation. Were we to increase that, skill lag would get considerably worse.

if you want help players to show their skill and free them from blobs and lag , there is only one way ……

no resurrection when the player is in combat mode @ www

until then they will always stack , blob and LAG all together

note . maybe there is one more solution to the problem but i dont know how it affects the whole game. if you increase the range area of boons/skills/debuffs/fields etc

hahahahahaha can’t stop laughing

The 4 drunken mercenaries of FURY took AG keep on EBG right before the mighty eyes of 30 AG so they couldn’t have it for the point tally but instead it added to our score. Credits go to: True, Ano, Para and Exo (and myself!) Watch the whole stream for our reset action and ultimate trolling action after. Have fun this week!

if you stopped laugh , check again your video and you will see that you took AG’s keep FROM Miller’s Sound not from AG people ……

it will be nice from you as an ex AG guild as fury is to correct the wrong title in twitch too…. thank you

rathaniel.1986:

Yes, because our players arrived. Otherwise you would have an easy reward in the form of tower…

i am aurora glade player mate :p

rathaniel.1986:

Dzag players, please stop doing that:

i don’t know if it is a known glitch or hax but the 4 easy kills was a fair reward for you

Earendhil.1532:

Gratz from an Old Warhammer Server mate.

I am sitting on 6k!

this is the normal score if you are playing the www like it is. …

if you want a better score enjoy a www pvp guild and fight all day enemies in groups under the south camp in a borderland …..like others do and did so far

gratz for the achievement of 250k kills

i had a bunker guardian and yesterday i re-rolled a thief.

what a class … even as a lvl 2 armor/weapon/skills the char is a badges collector

Blix.8021:

People like you are why the devs don’t usually post in the class forums
It would be ridiculous if one guard with a staff could stop 50 people in ther tracks with no counter, find something else to rage about

i dont want devs write here anything. i want from them to read and understand their faults.

best party in www.

a mesmser and a thief .

they can do anything !!!

Reborn.2934:

lets see what is the reason of the nationals server “strength” ?

French are playing from France GMT+1 and canada GMT-7
Spanish are playing from Spain GMT+ 1 and Mexico or south America = GMT -5
Germans are playing from Germany GMT+1 or south America = GMT-5

Fixed for you.

you fixed nothing .

all knows that Vizunah Square is first because they have people all day ( 24h /day ) and many of their player are from Canada that is GMT -7 etc ….

i could tell you what anet is doing right now to fix the problem, but i am sure they delete the whole thread and maybe i have a temp ban

DeathPanel.8362:

Reborn.2934:

i don’t know if i faced a hacker but two times in a fight with a thief he escaped twice from line of warding and ring of warding after ….

i was ready to report him but i didn’t do it because in shout my server ppls told me that the stability skills can escape from these two skills.

i checked stability description and i didn’t found something about wardings …..

So, you have two options dear devs .

1. you fix the problem and nobody can pass though these two skills while they are active or fix the description of stability , or

2. i re-roll to a thieve to stop be a victim when i am playing alone in www

Warding is a knockback effect. Therefore stability is not effected by it.

Also for balance reasons there has to be counter, otherwise people can hold SM and forts indefinitely by cycling warding with guards.

o yeah ! prevent people using skills to www is logical ! *

if they wanted from people not using their skills in www they must stop mesmers to teleport golems , the elemental skills that kill sieges in blind places on walls , etc

devs just messed up the skills of guardian in www and their only and only role in www is a buffer or healer ( and he is not the better one , engineer is far better )

in www ,day by day i only see pve people that jumps to a zerg only to finish their daily because it is is the fastest way and they total ignore the www rules and progress .

*besides all …..

how a skill like ring of warding that last for 5 seconds and it has 40 sec reuse time and 180 range could stop enemies aoe range skills from death ? or why it is no good to have a guardian skills that really GUARD a place or someone ?

i really dont know what type of “GUARDIAN” they want !!!

@The Holy Eldar.3624 you have a point but even i am not a kid my self when i speak with real life friends from other servers ( i have in fsp , gandara and piken square and some to Votf guild that is moving from server to server :p ) our “conversation” last always around our server’s score and place in match-ups .

it is in my and our nature to try or to enjoy more the win than the loose even we are capping an un-defended tower because we finished our goal in game …this is more common than the “just play for fun” feeling . this feeling is the same that have the ppls that enjoy most the pve server . you can not say that is not common eh ?

e-sports is very serious businesses and as soon they understand it, the better for them and their pocket

Reborn.2934:

Germans are playing from Germany GMT+1 or south America = GMT-5

Wut ? People on the German servers play like 99.999999999999% from central Europe, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Or is this some sort of irony troll post ? EU English servers suck because very few of them have a WvW playerbase commited to the server – Deso, Blacktide, etc. were successful only when they were the fotm transfer target destination.

Country German speaking population (outside Europe)
US 5,000,000
Brazil 3,000,000
Argentina 1,400,000
Canada 450,000 – 620,000
Mexico 200,000
Australia 110,000
South Africa 75,000 (German expatriate citizens alone)
Chile 40,000
Paraguay 30,000 – 40,000
New Zealand 37,500
Namibia 30,000 (German expatriate citizens alone)²⁴
Jordan 50,000
Venezuela 10,000

is this enough for your question ? source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language

until they fix it i want my 3 golds back

easy

In european International servers most organized guilds playing from GMT -> GMT+3 time zones , but in the National Servers the situation is very different , they are playing from GMT -7 ( CANADA, MEXICO ,BOLIVIA etc ) -> GMT +2 maybe +3 .

this creates a very difficult and mostly an unfair situation to European international servers because all of our www guilds playing at prime time or later morning in week and not in late night or early morning as they can in National server where playing ppls from all the world.

lets see what is the reason of the nationals server “strength” ?

French are playing from France GMT+1 and canada GMT-7
Spanish are playing from Spain GMT+ 1 and Mexico or south America = GMT -5
Germans are playing from Germany GMT+1 or south America = GMT-5

there are sources in info* from wikipedia that will help you understand that the 112 million spanish speaking peoples in Mexico is not a small minority

We all know that ALL the servers are LOCATED in Austin , SO what is the point to be the international servers be alone and without help from the English speaking from USA ?

you want to see the result of this situation ? check the leader-boards ! most of the first places are from National Servers and the first 3 servers are Nationals …

check it by your self -> https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/eu/wvw

Of course it is not the only reason , but this is the main reason for late night and early morning capping ….for the “performance” the reason are two ….

1 . the better communication , because of nature language and

2. the defend of the server gives a feeling of defend their “land” !!!

info : Hispanophone , Francophone , Germans in the World

Billaboong.6821:

What happens sometimes is that the upgrade keeps going but it doesn’t show the status bar. Check to the upgrades guy if it has been paid or not

the supplies was full for over 2 hours …. workers up and healthy but not moving

I was playing the whole night in aurora glade borderlands and i had order before patch the T3 upgrades in garrison .

after patch i noticed the problem and i reported it that the upgrades paid but not finished . i shouted the problem but nothing happened . after i reported that.

after a whole night without any help from GM the morning the enemies they took our keep easy because nobody wanted defend a BUGGED server .

Give me my money back now .

p.s i spent 3 golds to a bugged garrison and i lost my sleep only to have my server fair fight against the 24/7 National servers that we face all the time in europe zone . this makes me really really Disturbed

BobbyT.7192:

Ring/Line of warding and other such skill either knockdown or knockback, which gets protected by stability. They also count as stuns, which can recovered from with stun breakers, which any class as access to. The thief more likely shadowstep out it, It is working as intended.

[ line of warding ] description : Create a line in front of you that foes cannot cross.

[ ring of warding ] description : Create a ring around you that foes cannot cross. Trapped enemies cannot exit the ring while it is active.
Staff

[ STABILITY ] : Cannot be knocked down, pushed back, launched, stunned, dazed, floated, sunk, or feared.

where in stability’s description says that can pass from warding skill or in warding’s skill description says that foes with stability ignore them ?

they kittened somewhere …in one or other description there are LOGICAL FAULTS !!!

playing with others , guardian is an easy char , alone it lucks of skills .

even as a bunker guardian i am less bunker than an elemental bunker

i don’t know if i faced a hacker but two times in a fight with a thief he escaped twice from line of warding and ring of warding after ….

i was ready to report him but i didn’t do it because in shout my server ppls told me that the stability skills can escape from these two skills.

i checked stability description and i didn’t found something about wardings …..

So, you have two options dear devs .

1. fix the problem and nobody can pass though these two skills while they are active or

2. fix the descriptions of stability and wardings .

i think is better to re-roll to a thief to stop be a victim when i am playing alone in www

guardians need revamp because right now they guard / buff and heall only others except their self

do we have sword ? omg i just remember now …

what a crap !!!

SMITE ( number 2 scepter skill with 1200 range ) is the only skill that have guardians to kill cannons, oils and arrow carts in blind or ranged places on walls .

so very useful in www

i dont want to fear you but you will never feel that you guard something with guardian . to help yes but guard , no way !!!

maybe the class must renamed buffer or prophet ( from lineage 2)

@lordkrall.7241 weird , because in my server most of the claimed structures are mostly un-buffed

Most of the claimed structures have not upgrades because there are so many pve upgrades for a guild to have benefits from them that there is no spare time for w3 upgrades.

As it is now to have a full buffed claimed structure costs you around 4,5 days only to have a structure for 12 hours full buffs , so, most of the guilds even the pvp guilds have not so much time to support proper their structures in w3 with buffs..

Also the the w3 upgrades reward only the allied players and not the npc of the buffed structure and i think this is not right

Caid.4932:

I dunno. Hammer guardian is putting up aoe retal every 4 secs, boon stipping isn’t much of a counter imo. You dont even need to try putting up retal with a few guardians, its just there all day, every day. I think glamour is still pretty good too.
Anyway I just dont like the mechanic, its too passive for my taste and i dont find the idea of a class that does damage by getting punched in the face … interesting (?). I’ll probably be calling for nerfs while its in anyway relevant tbh.
I dont think it creates an interesting meta atm either … it doesn’t open options, it limits them. Hammer wars and guardians are pretty dominant population wise. I’ve played a ranger with1700 vitality and i still struggled with retal to the point i basically need to spend as much time doing nothing as attacking, had 1900 toughness too so its by no means a glass cannon spec. Just seems really backwards that the absolute worst thing you can use the crap ac long bow skill on is a group (not that i’d use a long bow that weapon is dire)

Anyway sorry for derailing thread, enough nerf retal threads knocking about im sure

i could agree in these words even as a guardian that use a lot my retaliation skills , but guardians are not the only class that has retaliation and as the name says this class is to guard others .if they choose to lower the retaliatiuon they must increase the other protect boons that guardians have because if they just nerf retaliation my char will be corrupted and useless for parties !

i have said in the past , as a bunker-healer guardian ( only the setup , my playstyle is a bit pure chaos ) if you found me alone even a 20 lvl mesmer in www can kill me , but inside a team ….. have a nice day

DevonCarver.5370:

Well, we did what we could AG, mostly grab aggro it seems. It was fun!

as i understood you liked our aggro – freestyle in www , but what are your thoughts and conclusions after that ?

i dont need to imagine them . i am seeing them every time i play in www.

they are playing only to earn kills or to avoid to be killed and they refuse to understand that www is not only their www achievement kill number .

from TUP , an aurora glade pvp guild ( i am not in this guild ) , a very nice and pro work .

i can title it . Hammer Time

enjoy !

It is the best pvp video i have ever seeing

jakub.6857:

The whole wvw system is a bad joke. How we can win if two DE servers are cooperating all the time. 2 vs 1 is just unfair :-/

Some of you guys must really think that if you post such non-sense in the forums often enough, it would somehow become reality …?

The inflammatory accusations from last week were enervating enough. Could we please at least try to have a civil discussion this time?

On-Topic: A salute to Drakkar Lake. I think I never played against your server before, and I actually somehow didn’t expect you to be such a tough opponent. But in the opening hours on EB you have proven me wrong. Now I am really interested to learn how this week will pan out.

(edit:) Also, nice sneak-cap of Anza while were having a hefty 80v80 with Aurora at Speldans. Takes some cunning to pull such a stunt.
