I took a break from GW for a few weeks and now that I'm back I've got a problem. This:
It isn't like this all the time. It happens most often when I'm in crowded outposts or when in gvg, ha or observing and there are a lot of people standing near each other.
First I thought it was due to my audio setup because it happened almost exclusively when I was running teamspeak or vent but then it occured once or twice without either of them running.
This doesn't happen instantly. Like five seconds before the visual errors show up the game freezes for a second and then runs normal until objects on screen start vanishing or distorting / bending / whatever. After a few seconds it gets all laggy and there's this white snow and sometimes colored shapes.
When this happens I usually have a few seconds to switch to destktop, open up task manager and kill the gw.exe process before the computer freezes. If I do nothing the game just comes to halt and the computer just dies. No blue screen, no fatal error dialog, no nothing.
Funny thing is that no matter how much the gw world graphics break down the menu items seem to be unchanged. I really have no idea what's causing this problems as I didn't change anything on my computer during the time I had a break from GW.
And I have the impression that this happens more often when I am playing in windowed mode. I had it in fullscreen mode once but it wasn't that severe and gw just closed down without any error message but the computer didn't freeze. But I couldn't really say if this is just an impression or wheter it's true since I am most of the time playing windowed...
Help on this would be really nice
