Sound beeping, then game crash in mass WvW situations.

This is the third time today that this game crash happened to me, the whole thing started yesterday so maybe there was something wrong with yesterdays patch. I played 100 hours of WvW before yesterday without a single issue whatsoever.

The issue is: In every 2-3 hours especially in massive fights, and when we break gates, so there are a lot of sounds and effects on the screen the sound goes silent and I only heal constant beeping. Right after this, the game crashes, I get the report tool, and that’s it.

Hi Kristof Kulcsar – That does appear to be the infamous sound bug. This is a known issue that’s being looked into and I wish I had an ETA for a fix but at the moment there just isn’t one.

I know you don’t want to sacrifice sound quality, though I know other players have resolved or minimized this problem by reducing their Sound settings from “High Quality” to “Fastest.”

Other than that, there isn’t anything at all wrong with your system, it’s simply a known issue.
