crash problems

I wanted to post in the other thread but it looked pretty exhausted.

I'm using a 9800 pro with not the latest drivers but this problem also happend on the latest drivers and had some annoying shit with it so i rolled back.

Anyway, after about 2 hours of play the game just crashes. And my video display drivers go down the shitter. The game continues to run with sound, and i can stay in the game to let people complete the mission for me.

I've done a complete ATI driver removal and a complete reinstallation. This only started happening since the 28th.

I've thought of VPU overheating and whatnot.... If that is the case im not too sure what to do.

[side note] I'm actually crashed out right now, and hoping my party finishes killing hablion so i can continue

Something fishy : when i uninstall the drivers and reboot it says that my "new" video card may not work properly? It works fine until i fire up guild wars for like 2 hours...

occassionally i get a random restart, but not very often at all.

would appriciate the help.

I had the same issue with my nVidia 6800 and all you need to do is turn down the anistrophic filtering (or even turn it off) and set your graphics output to medium. Although this sounds like you're cheating yourself (or even your GPU) out of the graphical wonder of the game, you're not. Visually I could barely tell the difference. In my humble opinion, I fear that the current release of the game's graphics engine is somewhat shoddy. Ever since I followed the steps above, I've had no problems.

how do you turn the anistrophic filtering off?

yes, how do you turn antistrophic filtering off?

It should be in the game settings or in your card settings. To get to the video card settings for XP, go to Control Pannel, Display, Settings, Advanced, and it will be in there somewere.

my game keeps crashing i copyed the error log i crash so many times its realy annoying me ive send so many error reports
this is the error log my appologys its alot:

Reminds me of what I was going through here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=6951

so ur saying is that my memory might be conflicting with the game?
sorry for the blonde question im not sure what the other link means whats a simple way of saying what happend? lol

Ok folks I crash to blue screen and frequently get the gw.exe errors where it wants to send an error report. The BSOD usually has to do with my video card. ati3duag.dll is the file that is the problem. Also I get a dxg.sys which is direct x I assume. I have updated drivers and everything. I also have gone to the older 5.3 catalyst driver and have not got BSOD since then, but that was only a couple hours ago. Anyhow here is what I get from the gw.exe:

*--> Crash <--*
Exception: c0000005

anyone got any ideas of how to fix it?

thanks

Alright my Problem has been solved. There are 3 things that I done.

First I got a new power supply, now running 480W. I suggest getting a new one, or a more powerful one if you have not, above 400w.

Second I checked my ram, I have dual channel and I had one stick not in a dual channel slot. Stupid I know.

Finally I updated my bios. Go to your mobo website and download an installer for a bios update. Your mobo cd should have one on it as well. Disable your firewall when you run it, dunno why but Norton decided to not let it work until I disabled it. Also, if you do update you bios, when you restart you may have an error prior to boot up. This says something is wrong and I can't remeber the name of it but it needs to be "flashed". Basically look up this thing on your mobo and all you have to do is change a jumper. The reason this happens is that the newer bios will mess up your time and date settings and there is confusion. It is a quick solution, just look in your mobo book to see what to do.

If you computer was manufactured from someone you could call their tech about the issue, mine is custom so I had to do it myself.

Hope this solves your problem. Again, odds are, it's your power supply. You can get one that works fine off newegg for 20 bucks and it takes like 5 minutes to change.

The game causes your computer to rise about 1 degree celsius every min your playing do the math, 100 mins = over 100 degree celsuis which is the boiling point. Your computer shuts down before that happens to protect itself.

How to fix the problem? Well you could do what i did lastnight and open up the CPU and blast a fan twords it. Guess what? I played for a few hours with no crash, infact i left the game the normal way for the first time ever!

This problem has been addressed by the tech support. hopefully we get an update lol
