New game client crashes when a massive amount of characters gather in one area (full 50 RIBA instance)

[Cyor.3416]

Does the latest GW2 client have an issue with the latest Nvidia drivers and GTX 1080 Ti?

 

My game crashed when doing RIBA farmed when all of the characters were gathering in lanes before the final fight. I thought it was DX11 that caused the crash so I reverted back to DX9. I crashed again as I was rotating around the map and the rotating zerg caught up to me while rotating. I then turned off Firefox and had my second screen turned off. As long as I stood away from the zerg, I wouldn't crash. As soon as we beat the RIBA meta event and everyone started rushing into the chest area, I crashed again.

 

Also, I was playing with Best Performance enabled, turned off shadows, and reduced character model quality to lowest. I play on a 1440p 165 Hz monitor at Native sampling. I've never had any crashes before the patch.

Yess, I also have the same issue! Mine crashed in Domain of Vabbi, teleporting to a waypoint (can't remember which) and then another in Tangled Depths, just roaming the map.

I could not use dx11 in full screen mode, only in windowed :s

 

It would start flickering in full screen. I did get more FPS tho.

GTX 1050 TI here. Same thing happens to me I randomly crash. Just crashed a minute ago as well.

I had the same problems, GTX1080. Crashed multiple times while using DX11, after reverting back everything is fine.

Hello.

I have the same problem since the patch. Meta event with squad, random crash with a lot of people where the game freezes for 1 to 3 seconds, and back to desktop without any error message.

 

I am not using the direct x 11 beta, and my machine is older than yours. (Geforce 660, i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 12gb RAM, W 10 64 Pro).

Never had this kind of crash before.

Not a single crash. Amazing 1st impression.

Very good FPS, no skill lag at Leyline Anomaly with more than 50 people & faster map loading times.

Windowed full screen. GTX 1080ti & 5950X with 64 GB RAM

Happens to me all the time too. I have played GW2 since launch and never had any issues with crashing. Now it happens almost every day; in large groupe/squad settings such as meta-events.

dude its a beta nothing works smoothly in a beta.. 🙄 stuff can be fine on a test server, but once it reaches live issues can occur.
That's why they need to see which error messages are given and can fix that in an upcoming patch.

My game only crashed once so far when I joined a Thunderhead North Meta right into Wrathbringer fight with best appearance settings.
