Description: Severe graphics corruption, fragmenting, and instability after last patch. Inability to screenshot it as it crashes and produces a black screen. After about 2-3 minutes, textures that were loaded would become unloaded, unresponsive, from the haze in the background leaving a perminent outline of the treeline and sky that stays and could be shown against the sky, to the text above mobs and players heads(nameplates), down to models of the characters or mobs or buildings, or trees surrounding going black. happens at a set time of about 2 minutes of loading the game. Only affects GW2. MW3, WoW, SWTOR are running without this corruption.
What I tried:
1. Updated graphics card to the latest beta drivers
2. Restarted computer
3. Tested other games to ensure it wasn’t a dying graphics card
4. Used -repair, didn’t find anything corrupted.
5. Lowered all graphics settings as low as I could before the corruption made me inable to see the settings.
Short of reinstalling the game, Dunno what to do. Maybe this is an incompatibility with Windows 8? Didn’t see anyone else in the last 5ish pages mention anything similar happening to them after today’s patch. I was running the game fine an hour before patch, Boyfriend spent the rest of the night playing WoW, then an hour ago, I downloaded the GW2 patch, and saw the unplayable corruption.
I have the crash dump text saved, if it’s needed, I only crash when I try to take a screenshot.
I’m running specifically an AMD 5770, 18 gigs ram, with an i7-2700k, 3.50ghz quad core on Windows 8 Consumer Preview build 8250. Any help with this would be awesome.
Edit: just tried Frapsing the corruption, again another crash. Can fraps all I want on WoW and other, more graphically demanding games.
