(Graphic) errors since the latest update

#1 - Aug. 11, 2013, 5:17 a.m.

As the title says, I keep getting (graphic) errors since the latest (Queen Jennah jubilee) update. I am playing for about 2 months now. Until the update my game was perfectly fine and if I remember correctly I didn’t get any single error (or disconnect). When the update hit I can’t play for more than 10 minutes without getting crash. Here are some screenshots to show you what is happening to me:

Watch the portrait of the mob – it starts with mobs, other NPC’s, items and different stuff getting these weird colours. Few seconds after that my game kicks me out with getting error.

Watch my character. Again those weird colours….and then I just got the error message.

Black Lion Trading Post panel. This one is happening alot. Basicly when I am about to get error I can’t open Black Lion panel…or rather I can but it’s filled with these colours and I can’t see anything else.

Now there are 2 pictures showing 2 kind of error messages I get when this happens:

This is one of the error messages I get (and also I get this one in 99% cases).

This is the second error message I sometimes get (mostly the other one tho).

Summary:
After the mention update I keep getting these errors. I have used “C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\gw.exe” -repair command (using the installed path ofcourse). It didn’t help so I reinstalled the game – didn’t help either. Also please keep in mind I very well noticed one of the error message saying some problem about graphic drivers – I have updated/installed the latest version of my graphic card drivers and I keep getting the errors.

So I please you for any suggestions/solutions to this problem because I can’t really play like that :x.
Thanks.

Hi Yousux – Kylla is correct in that this is an issue with your 32-bit operating system, particularly in regards to the crashes. Your crash log points to this directly:

“*—> Crash <—*
Out of Memory: arena=Environment, cat=Prop Packfile, allocBytes=10396684, arenaBytes=71425224, fallbackBytes=62304, align=0 , "

This may also be tied to that green/blue issue that you’re seeing in game, but as far as I can tell this has usually been an issue with a failing graphics card.

For the crash issue – there may be some workarounds that have worked with other players. One solution presented by players being affected by this is to change the “Maximum pre-rendered frames” in the Nvidia control panel. To do this:

1. Right-click on your desktop and select “Nvidia Control Panel.”

2. Select "Manage 3D Settings.

3. Scroll down until you find “Maximum pre-rendered frames” and change it from “Use the 3D application settings” to “1.”

Once completed, click “Apply” to save your changes and try Guild Wars 2 again.

Aside from this, the only other thing that may resolve these crash issues for you would be to upgrade to a 64-bit operating system.
