Game freezes when I type the @ Symbol

As title explains my game freezes when I type the @ Symbol

For example... /bow @ and my game freezes... not sure why. Even the @ Symbol on it's own freezes GW2 until i reclick on the screen, but in WvW it crashes my game completely.

Make sure you're not using a program or an overlay program (like Discord), that has the @ key bound already. Discord was causing my game to freeze whenever I activated action camera. Turns out Discord's overlay activation key was the same as the key combination I used for Action Camera.

I've just checked discord and I don't have any keybinds for that. I also removed my DPS Meter and the issue still occurs. I have re-installed my game but still seems to be doing it, issue has only been occurring since the last patch. Hm!

I just closed Discord completely and now it works, looks like you were right in some sense! However it just means i can't have Discord open simultaneously. :/

Found the issue, having in-game overlay enabled on Discord will cause it to freeze. Problem solved.

I'm glad you found a solution that worked for you :D. I bet other GW2 players maybe experiencing the Discord freeze issue.

I guess I should be glad that my discord freeze issues stops at discord itself becoming unresponsive
