Curse

This is the error I keep getting every time I play Guild Wars lately.

I've had GuildWars for 4 years (& on this PC) and had this very rarely, but lately (week or so) I can have short bursts and then not even 2 seconds of gameplay before this happens.

How can I do missions, quests, or even have fun when I got this all the time?

It isn't a lag issue, because I am not lagging in game and I just re-installed GW (saved my .dat file) and I still get this problem.

Any help in solving this issue would be very very appreciated.

Regards,

It's an annoying bug I encountered a few times. The way I used to fix it: (first make sure you have a copy of your GW folder in C:\Program Files), download the GW installer from the GW website, launch it and choose to install the program, when it starts downloading the "game assets" files (you'll noticed as it says "files" and takes some time) stop it. Then make sure that your old copy of the gw.dat file replaces the new one.

Hope this helps!

I tried that, but it just loaded into my game and I still have the problem

When you see that error pop up again click 'Show Details >>' and post the report here so people smarter than I can perhaps see what's causing it.

That error could be caused by a corrupt gw.dat file. You could try the -image command line to try to fix it.

It could also be caused by a hardware fault in your computer, such as bad RAM, or several other things.

It could also be the result of overclocking.

Well I am not overclocking my PC but 2 of my mates reckon it's a graphical card problem, but I should be upgrading to a new gfx card anyway.

What's your current one, and are your drivers up to date?
