Hey ! Weeks ago I've posted about a bug only I seem to experience. Whenever I use Short Bow 2 on a ranger, my screen freezes for like half a second. At first it didn't bother me that much cause I don't like using SB anyway. Some time after that, I did the exploration mode of Twilight Arbor, and I immediately started to experience this bug once again, especially in the room where you get ambushed by some... nightmare court archers. Yep, they use the exact same skill as SB rangers do (at least it's the same animation). That was so annoying cause every 5s or so, my screen froze. The worst case happened today. I've been in WvW with friends, and the game crashed like 3 or 4 times in 40 minutes, everytime there was a big fight, the game froze, forcing me to restart my computer. I can't tell for sure if the issue comes from this specific skill animation, but it looks like so, and as there are a LOT of animations being displayed at the same time in WvW, the small freezes I used to have in PvE are now multiplied and make the game crash. My PC is running fine, I play with everything maxed out, except model character limit set at low in WvW, and i'm around 40 FPS in big zergs, so the issue is not hardware-bound. I've asked a friend to run some tests with his ranger, and here's what I found : -When he's an ally, his SB 2 skill doesn't make me freeze, because I have "Effect LOD" enabled in my graphic options, so the rendered animation is less "flashy" as usual.-When he's an enemy, I do freeze as usual. The effect LOD option doesn't seem to apply on foe's animations, which is, in my optinion, why I crash in WvW and in Twilight Arbor, but never have any issue in open world content, even when there's a lot of people, such as during world bosses or meta events. Now, I tried about everything to get rid of this bug : Clean installing the newest graphic drivers as well as trying older driversRepairing the game clientRe-installing the whole game from scratchTried the game with and without Nvidia filters (Nvidia Freestyle)With and without d912 proxyI really don't know what to do more, I don't even know where this bug comes from, nor why I seem to be the only one experiencing it. If you'd happen to know what could be the cause, i'd be really really grateful. If you need any more information, feel free to ask !

I've been using d912pxy for a while now indeed. I ran some tests, and I can confirm that these freezes have one chance out of two to occur whenever I use Poison volley. I tried every other weapon in the game, there's no freezes at all. Guess I'll swap shortbow then. Funny thing is, I made some research before I post on the forum, and there's one guy who had the same exact problem, but the solution he found didn't work out for me (clean install the drivers then repair the client).

Hi, I'm experiencing some weird freezes since I've updated to the latest Nvidia graphic drivers (456.38). I used to run the game smoothly, being around 80-100 fps in open world areas with max settings, but since this update, my game freezes for like .5 seconds whenever I use poison volley or quick shot with my shortbow Ranger. I've tried many things such as clean installing the latest graphic drivers, downgrading to the previous version (452.06, which was working perfectly), repairing the client, reinstalling the whole game, updating windows... Nothing seem to work as I still have those micro hiccups/stuttering. I've also checked my hardware temperature, and everything is fine. Are some of you guys experiencing the same problem ? Thanks !

I took it yesterday before the whole server was down for maintenance. I had like 500 gold on my account after the sales. After the fix, my wallet shrunk to 350gold and the materials were returned to my storage. So I put them up for sale again thinking the problem was addressed. So yeah I lost around 200golds on the end, and im not the only one apparently.

Hey, so yesterday right after the crash (didnt realize there was a rollback at first), i've put up most of my mats for sale at the tp and sold almost everything (around 200 gold worth in total). Now they've fixed the bug, i've recovered the entirety of those mats and put them up for sale once again. But when i came back 30 mins later, i've noticed most of my Items are gone. Nothing in my transactions, nothing in my mat storage, Bank, inventory, nothing. I only manager to sell 500 jute scraps. Strange thing is, there are still 2 mat in my transaction that show they've been put up for sale yesterday, while i should have recovered them after today's fix. Long story short, i just lost around 200 golds. Is any of you having the same issue ?

Ok guys so for those of you who still have the same issue as me, I fixed this by uninstalling and reinstalling my graphic drivers. For some reason, GW2 refused to run on my GPU and was instead running on the motherboard's graphic chipset. I don't know why this happened right after I made the update, and why windows kept on telling me that it was running on the GPU, which was wrong, but yeah, this has done the trick.

Hey, so when I logged in this morning, I've noticed some unusual lags and a constant 25ish FPS drop, whether I'm in a city or even in an empty map. I tried to lower the graphic settings to the minimum just to check, and it didn't change anything, even at the lowest graphic settings, my game is running at ~20 FPS, instead of 50-60 ( and 40 in populated areas) with high/highest settings. I guess it might be related to the small update I had to do this morning as my game was running smoothly yesterday night, but I didn't see anyone complaining about it in game. Is anybody experiencing the same trouble ? Thanks !
