* Fixed several infrequent server crash bugs.

* Fixed a bug that was causing characters to stop displaying spell-casting animations if a skill was used twice in rapid succession.

* Amended display functions so that when unsupported video hardware is detected, the Guild Wars window properly unminimizes if the user chooses to play anyway.

No details at the site. Anyone know of the changes? Perhaps refund points are given in town finally?

Nothing incredible, but the huge summer update is still on its way. Lets cross our fingers for that.

Lol, no offense, but I would think that a stable release that only fixes minor things are usually the best type of software patch, less chances to break current functionality and leaves things at least on a relatively similar scale.

I can think of other games *cough* D2 *cough* that changed so often I would come back in a few days and not know what game I was playing.

Tactical-Dillusions, is that a nerf-cricket bat? Doesn't look like a baseball bat.

It is that difficult for them to add an option to hide helms and capes?

I'm kinda ticked off. Since the patch, I dont show up as online, which means people can't whisper me. I WAS recruiting for my guild, but that went kaput as soon as I realized folks couldn't whisper me.

That always happens after patches. It'll clear up in a few hours or so.

By "so often," do you mean two years? That's how long it took for 1.10 to come out.

1. I appear offline
2. all my friends appear offline
3. can't whisper or recieve any
4. my guild can't hear me and I can't hear them
5. bosses got new names. I always pass through this one area and came across the same boss with a different name this time... weird.

I logged on and off a few times, closed and reopened guild wars a few times, all problems remained.

I merged a thread from Sardelac Sanitarium with this one as they are both covering the new update.

*whine* those lazy bastards - they didn't completely re-write the game and turn it into a spaceship dogfighting game like I wanted them to do in the past week *whine*

geez people - get a grasp on reality here....

I'll be happy if this update fixes the damn aspect of GW (And it is the client itself, don't tell me its temperature, I've done extensive testing to the contrary) that's causing the screen to first shut off, then a complete restart, anywhere between 5-45 minutes into playing.

Never seen that one Kishin. I'm not saying it's heat, but it could be representative of some form of problem with your machine. Have you posted the issue in the tech forum, or atleast looked through there to see if anyone else is having a similar issue? I had a graphics issue a couple months back. The techs thought it might be hardware related so I went through their tests, I also included links to 3 similar issues that others had reported in the forums here which gave them and me a reason to suspect it wasn't my computer. We never completely resolved the issue, but i found that if I turned my graphics quality down a notch, the issue went away, so it's one of two things, driver (yay ) or game. It has little effect on me, so one of these days I'll bump the graphics up again and see if it still happens or if they caught it in one of the updates.
