Sometimes when i try to alt tab back into the game, the edges of the screen start flickering and it still shows what ever tab i was on before alt tabbing, but it doesn’t bring up the game and i can’t alt tab back out or do anything else. I try to close the client by closing the window on the bottom of the screen but it doesn’t work, i also tried bringing up the task manager to close it, but it can’t get to the task manager because it refuses to leave the gw2 tab. Usually i can press ctl, alt, delete and press log off and it’ll work, but about half the times it can’t even get the log off screen to work. I can also still hear the music and sound when the bug if happening, i just can’t get the graphics to load.

I have the latest drivers, I’ve done memory tests, my graphic settings r on low, firewall is letting gw2 through, I’ve reinstalled gw2, so im out of ideas on what to do. I also have frequent problems with losing network connection and the game crashing even tho I’ll be in team speak or something and it wont dc me from it, just from gw2

Hi Nile – Are you overclocking your GPU or any other hardware at all? Also, if you have Teamspeak’s overlay add-on enabled this could be causing the crash as it does have some compatibility issues with Guild Wars 2.
