1. The game starts to load after login and hitting "play". The character selection screen loads up fine. The load into map screen freezes sometimes. If the character does load into a map, as soon as I take 1 step everything freezes.
2. The game becomes unresponsive. The game is active in task manager.
3. I use the windows key and close gw2. It takes maybe 30 seconds before I get the "game is not responding. sending info to windows." prompt.
4. been playing for 6 years and this has never happened before.
5. This started with my first attempt to log in today.
