Curse

Okay, so for some reason whenever I take my characters into the Asuran area in EotN, during the loading to an explorable area, the game freezes. I pressed Ctrl+alt+delete and a window comes up that says:

Guild Wars has encountered an unrecoverable graphics driver error and must terminate.

Clicking on the url below will open a web page with more information.

So I really don't know what to do, and I can't get my characters out of this location because the game always freezes when loading. I don't want to buy a new graphics card yet, so does anyone have advice on how I can get my characters to a different location? If so, that would be fantastic. Thank you so much.

another reason why I'd love to see a teleport feature installed after you log in (instead of just logging into the last town you were in, let us pick) -hint hint hint-

did you try what was recommended in that link? if so, and it doesn't solve your problem...you could possibly find a friend with a better computer...and if you really trust him...ask him to use it long enough to get your toon(s) to the last know -working- area...

-if you go that route...plz..plz..don't give him/her your password.

Well, let's tart with the obvious here:
What's your video card?
And do you have the newest drivers for it?
Newest DirectX?

It sounds like you're getting the classic Intel Integrated Graphics crash. Intel's graphics hardware doesn't meet the requirements of the game, so in some areas it simply can't render the game and crashes. If you add -dx8 to the "Target" field in of your GW shortcut, it may work... at least enough to move your character. Otherwise I'm afraid the only other option is to use supported hardware.

How exactly could I do that? if I could just move my character out of the location, that would be great.
