sPvP crashing GW2?

Hello devs i’m having trouble with sPvP crashing all of a sudden in the middle of a game. This ONLY occurs during sPvP and ONLY on the map “Legacy of the Foefire”. I do understand many people are having issues with lagging on this map, but not me the game just stops all together.

It goes like this….. ill be fighting mid-map(just noticed this every time its mid-map I don’t know if that counts) and after a few intense frames per second the game freezes, goes black, and gives me a courser with a wing. I can move the courser but everything else is set in stone. Sometimes i can open task manager but right after everything is frozen and i cant open any windows or anything.

I don’t know if this is due to the map, just my computer, or the leader-boards being implemented. (By the way for those that don’t know the leader-boards are active just can’t use them as of yet). Is there anyone else with this problem? As for now as sPvP being the sole purpose for why I play GW2, the game for me is declared unplayable. I know the devs are working day in and day out concerning the game as a whole. But this issue seems a bit extreme. Please fix soon.

This could be one of many many problems. We would need more information to track the bug down. Were you able to submit a crash report? If not, do you have exact reproduction steps?
