First time running the game, constant freezing - Guild Wars Forums

Fenris13 · Mar 20, 2005, 01:00 AM // 01:00

I am getting constant freezing while running GW, any command takes 5-10 seconds to execute, from logging in, to charecter creation, etc. I am getting alot of graphical errors, such as white spots, bleeding colors, artifacting, but even those are paused, as if the screen is frozen, and it only updates every few secconds. My system meets the reccomended setup for everything, except a sound card, for which I use a usb headset, and have never had any problems with any other game. I also have the latest video drivers installed. Anyways, here is a dxdiag printout, if anyone has any advice, I would be gratefull.
