Thank you for working on this. I understand having personal projects at work and getting one out in the wild is an accomplishment. I look forward to seeing your work in Tyria.

Arena Net, devs, team that worked on dx11. Thank you. This game brought my wife and I together for the first time many years ago (Ontario / Texas). I've built computers for a long while and always had weird bsod with gw2 on dx9. I could never diagnose it. I have since moved to Texas to be with her and this dx11 update allows us to play gw2 consistently again. During these frustrating times we all find ourselves in you have given us a portal to the past where we can escape insanity of reality for a bit. Intel 6700k Gtx 1080ti 32gb ddr4 3200 Windowed Fullscreen / Fullscreen 2560x1440 25-50 fps > 45-60 fps Only a couple crashes to desktop. Sometimes the crash removes the dx11 setting and I have to clear cache a couple times to get it to stick again. I've noticed it sticks more consistently when I'm in Fullscreen instead of windowed Fullscreen. From two fans, Thank you.

So this DPI scaling change is great for high resolution users but its instability is causing full system lock ups for me. I have to disable the scaling in GW2 options then check override scaling by application in the .exe compatibility menu in Win 10. Even then the game hiccups from time to time. When the elements scale up they dont have new textures, the UI is just stretched which looks horrible. I play at 1440p for better definition of visuals not worse. So i turned it off and am happy with a smaller UI and more screen to see whats going on. Submitted a ticket about the DPI scaling locking up my machine. Edit: Yes it did work for me when I checked "DPI Scaling" in the graphics menu within GW2 running two 1440 monitors. Everything got larger without increasing the actual UI size.

I have played GW2 since beta with no issues on my systems. This current system has been running GW2 fine for over a year. Within the past 3-4 months I have started experiencing a problem where I can patch, login, select a character, but once I am in the game within 10 minutes my computer hard locks and my system reboots. I left it alone for a month to see if a gpu patch or gw2 patch would fix it and it hasnt. Also no new drivers are available from my component manufacturers.That said the symptom suggests a hardware error but I have exhaustively tested this system for hardware failure and found nothing. I have done the following: RAM:-memtest86 2 weeks of 5 no error passes a day-replaced RAM completely-ensured ram is running stock, without XMPMotherboard:-ensured BIOS is up to date-flashed the newest update again anyway-replaced motherboard and ensured bios is up to date-checked for seating problems or loose power connections-checked heat levelsGPU:-updated driver-reinstalled win 10 pro 64 bit fresh with new driver-tried known good gpu that ran GW2 for several years without issue (780 ti) , problem still occurs-tried reseating-tried underclocking-tried overclocking (a little)-tried stock settings-tried torture test while monitoring heat levels (never exceeded 70 C)Storage:-replaced all hard drives-switched to full solid state drives (new drives)-put GW2 on an M.2 drive-wiped all drives fully with backup system and reinstalled Win 10 pro 64 bit (2nd windows reinstall).PSU:-tested all PSU cables to ensure proper voltage-replaced PSU and tested new unit-old unit and new unit are within specFull system tests:-AIDA 64 torture (overnight)-prime 95-heaven benchmark-valley-tore system apart and rebuilt on test bench to check for case shorts (no change) I have replaced all the components with known good components except for the cpu. I took a break from GW2 for over a month and played as many different games as possible and continued to run stress tests. I would encode video, stream, play taxing games (rise of the tomb raider etc), multi task as much as possible. Nothing makes my computer reset except guild wars 2. I have been building systems for friends since 2013 and I can not figure this out. I have seen other posts on the forums from folks that have the same build as me 6700K 1080 and are encountering the same random crashes shortly after loading into the game.Full system specs:--------[ Summary ]-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Computer:Computer Type ACPI x64-based PCOperating System Microsoft Windows 10 ProOS Service Pack -Internet Explorer 11.64.16299.0 (IE 11.0.48)Edge 41.16299.15.0DirectX DirectX 12.0Computer Name DESKTOP-SUA5VFVUser Name SamLogon Domain DESKTOP-SUA5VFVDate / Time 2017-12-17 / 14:23 Motherboard: CPU Type QuadCore Intel Core i7-6700K, 4200 MHz (42 x 100) Motherboard Name Asus Maximus IX Hero (3 PCI-E x1, 3 PCI-E x16, 2 M.2, 4 DDR4 DIMM, Audio, Video, Gigabit LAN) Motherboard Chipset Intel Union Point Z270, Intel Skylake-S System Memory 16320 MB (DDR4 SDRAM) DIMM2: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 8 GB DDR4-2133 DDR4 SDRAM (16-15-15-36 @ 1066 MHz) (15-15-15-36 @ 1066 MHz) (14-14-15-35 @ 1037 MHz) (13-13-14-32 @ 962 MHz) (12-12-13-30 @ 888 MHz) (11-11-12-27 @ 814 MHz) (10-10-11-25 @ 740 MHz) (9-9-10-22 @ 666 MHz) DIMM4: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 8 GB DDR4-2133 DDR4 SDRAM (16-15-15-36 @ 1066 MHz) (15-15-15-36 @ 1066 MHz) (14-14-15-35 @ 1037 MHz) (13-13-14-32 @ 962 MHz) (12-12-13-30 @ 888 MHz) (11-11-12-27 @ 814 MHz) (10-10-11-25 @ 740 MHz) (9-9-10-22 @ 666 MHz) BIOS Type AMI (07/23/2017)Display: Video Adapter GeForce GTX 1080 (8 GB) Video Adapter GeForce GTX 1080 (8 GB) Video Adapter GeForce GTX 1080 (8 GB) Video Adapter GeForce GTX 1080 (8 GB) 3D Accelerator nVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Monitor Asus PB258 [25" AH-IPS LCD] (G7LMTJ028422) Monitor Asus PB258 [25" AH-IPS LCD] (G7LMTJ028281)Multimedia: Audio Adapter nVIDIA HDMI/DP @ nVIDIA GP104 - High Definition Audio Controller Audio Adapter Realtek ALC1220 @ Intel Union Point PCH - High Definition Audio Controller (Audio, Voice, Speech)Storage: IDE Controller Intel® 200 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller Storage Controller Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller Storage Controller Standard NVM Express Controller Disk Drive KINGSTON SA400S37120G (120 GB, SATA-III) Disk Drive KINGSTON SH103S3240G (240 GB, SATA-III) Disk Drive KINGSTON SHSS37A480G (480 GB, SATA-III) Disk Drive NVMe Samsung SSD 960 (465 GB) SMART Hard Disks Status FAILPartitions: C: (NTFS) 110.4 GB (53.8 GB free) D: (NTFS) 223.6 GB (146.1 GB free) E: (NTFS) 465.6 GB (225.0 GB free) F: (NTFS) 447.1 GB (90.5 GB free) Total Size 1246.7 GB (515.4 GB free)Input: Keyboard HID Keyboard Device Keyboard HID Keyboard Device Keyboard HID Keyboard Device Mouse HID-compliant mouseNetwork: Primary IP Address 192.168.1.95 Primary MAC Address 10-7B-44-A6-6F-26 Network Adapter Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) Network Adapter Intel® Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V (192.168.1.95)Peripherals: Printer Fax Printer HP4919DE (HP Photosmart 5520 series) Printer Microsoft Print to PDF Printer Microsoft XPS Document Writer USB1 Controller ASMedia ASM2142 USB 3.1 xHCI Controller USB1 Controller ASMedia ASM2142 USB 3.1 xHCI Controller USB1 Controller Intel Union Point PCH - USB 3.1 xHCI Host Controller USB Device ASUS USB-BT400 USB Device Generic USB Hub USB Device USB Composite Device USB Device USB Composite Device USB Device USB Input Device USB Device USB Input Device USB Device USB Input Device USB Device USB Input Device USB Device USB Input DeviceDMI: DMI BIOS Vendor American Megatrends Inc.
