Alright I’ve had this problem before, and it started around mid-June for the first time. GW2 ran smoothly before this. Loading screens took maybe 5 seconds. I could run it through steam and it was good. Hell, I could probably run firefox and it would still not give me a single problem.
But now, the loading screens make me wait much longer. Infinitely, if I left it to it’s own devices, as a matter of fact.
I cleaned my computer in early July, and I still held off running GW2 because it obviously has given me problems… My laptop is a Toshiba p750. GW2 ran fine for maybe a week. Then I got the endless loading screens. Again.
My dad let me borrow his comp while mine was in the shop, and out of curiosity I ran GW2 on it. It ran. With no problems. His comp is a Toshiba S870, which is not that much of a upgrade.
The endless loading screens have literally made me lose so much interest of the game, because I’m constantly fearing if the next loading screen forces me to turn my computer off.
The loading screen either has the full text and the wheel keeps spinning; full text loads but the spinny wheel freezes; only the icons (vista, completion, waypoints wtc) load and the spinny keeps going; nothing loads and the spinny goes like some demented little hamster.
And once I realize I have this problem on my hands for at least the 100th time, I hit start and go to open the task manager to end the process. Gw2 closes, but the process remains for at least 10 minutes, making my whole computer lagging extremely badly. (it takes at least 2 minutes for something to register as clicked, and windows do not move after a minute after the action is taken) GW2 also has exceptionally high memory levels, spiking into 1.8 MILLION. I’ve seen it run in 450k ish.
I’m on my last legs because it’s only GW2 giving me these problems. Skyrim runs perfectly. Tera Rising manages to run with firefox and a download going with no lag whatsoever. And honestly I’m gonna play the latter more. It runs, and I’m willing to moan at magical cloths of protection for women.
I’ve sent in five tickets, but this is the first forum topic I posted. I’ve been recommended to reinstall windows, but doing it for just one game I’ve lost 70% of interest in seems like too much. I’m regretting paying money to even buy this game now lol.
What exactly is causing this?
