Zappax.4685 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Happens during alt tabbing, most notably when a video of any site is playing in the background. The system doesn't record anything other than the usual the system shut down unexpectedly error. Only gw2 does this, no other games, and only since the latest patch. GPU driver is a stable older one from early this year, since that was working the best, and the newer versions fix nothing relatable to my card or the game. Entire pc locks up, sound freezing and replaying constantly that quarter a second as the screen freezes, only restart helps.

Teknomancer.4895 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 If you're running ArcDPS and haven't updated it in a while, try updating, disabling or removing it to see if that sorts it. There was a recent patch that broke it pretty hard a few weeks ago, and the game wouldn't run at all (at least for me) if it was loaded. Arc seems to have gotten fixed now so it doesn't do that anymore, but it did take them a while to catch up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teknomancer.4895 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 IDK then, that was the issue on my system. Maybe try running the game's launcher with the -image command line switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappax.4685 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 wouldnt that be the same as running the file checker from launcher? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 No, -image just ensures that you have the entire game image locally, it's intended to dump as much of the game on your HDD as possible in order to reduce streaming for downloads. The file checker examines what you have installed already, which may or may not be the full image. It may not help, but it won't hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
