I should probabaly mention this but I ran into some trouble receiving skills as quest rewards I would go receive the skills chose not to equip it since i had the skill bar I wanted i would receive the first skill listed in the quest reward but never got the second if I canceled on equipping the first one.

also for some reason I never got the skills in the pre searing blessings on Balthazars quest I must of ran out of Ashford or something before Mhenlo could give it to me for i did the quest but couldnt find a way to get the skills before going to the academy

This is the first BWE i've done PvP (only played Tombs) and never enjoyed dying so much

. The first time up to bat was a real shocker to only get a tan screen with map HUD and one or two other items when loading battle map. Could hear everthing but that was it. Hit "m" a time or two (as i recall), and it cleared up so i raced to the half-over battle -- only time it did it tho.

In one of the Tombs battles with multiple teams battling, we were fighting a team at their home base. Their henchman monk was untouchable as it was perched above us all at one side of their gate. Should have reported it so you could pin down location

but i was rather busy at the time and died trying to melee and range spell that blasted healer (who was doing an excellent job BTW).

In PvE: don't know if this is a bug or designed this way, but as a healer, when i clicked on Prince in the party HUD to heal him, it started me running toward him, which doesn't happen with other members of party.

Also, in Pre-searing getting the devourer egg for the farmer wouldn't work

. I couldn't get an egg from the cave and the guy outside the cave wouldn't follow me back (after he got one) all the way to the farmer nor let me have it. Of course, it could be i was doing something wrong....

This happened to me as well. This was the quest to go out and defeat all the skeletons running around in the fields outside the Abbey. I completed the quest and got the EXP points but no skills. I thought it was pretty strange, but just assumed that you didn't get skills for completing that quest (unlike all the other "skill trainer" quests).

In the underworld after you kill all the "bladed aatxe" sometimes the doors will not open after you talk to the npc. This happened twice while I was there, one time when a party member dropped and another when someone decided to kill an aatxe behind a door.

I ran sometimes up against the wall and would get a partial white screen in the black curtain area. This partial white screen was also in the next area adjacent to the black curtain. And once in the tombs unfortunately I died and half of my body was under the stair and the rest just lying there on the top treads. (do have a screenshot of this one)

Not sure if these are so called 'bugs' but it didn't look right to me.

The problem I have is that I can't even enter in my Activation Code. I get an Err=105 It says I already have access or something like that?

Poppinjay · Apr 27, 2005, 05:30 AM // 05:30

IN the afternoon on the 26th the game finally stopped giving me the 105 error and accepted my key, and it said that there was an event starting the 27th.

I tried to log on at 1am and it lets me pick a type of character I want (role playing or pure pvp), but once I click on one of those two options it asks me for my keycode again. If I enter the keycode again it tells me that I already have that one.

How do I get to design a character and play???

I am running an asus v9570 256mb agp card. I am not overclocking the cpu or the graphics card. The game will run for 2-3 mins then will crash, bug reports being sent to guildwars support. Has also caused complete reboot of system. I have seen threads where others are having the exact same problem. One file seems to be fairly constant in certain error reports and logs. It is nv4_disp.dll.
Hope to see a patch to fix this soon. I run EQ2 with no crashes ever, this is the only game or program period that causes my system to crash.

Problem with districts: I had some problems when guildmates and I were in the same district in the same town. We could not see each other however. Going to another district and then comming back to the previous district helped with this problem. But it is just a little annoying.

Guild Window problem: Sometimes the window would show that some of my guildmates were not online even though they actually were. And sometimes the window would show that some of my guildmates were online even though they were not.

Both problems myself and guildmates have experianced.

Kyokuji · May 01, 2005, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Many of us are having a problem where the game (and this game only) causes the computer to reboot.
This happens without warning and there is no set timeframe for it to happen.

(Creative Soundblaster Live 1024 with Win XP SP2 Standard Drivers)

Grafik: When i played a long Time, the Grafik becomes Chaotic, many Textures Flimmer or have a wrong Color. Sometimes the complete Screen gets one Color (Purple) or it becomes Slow and Bad Qualitiy if it where in Compatibility Mode or Something.
After Alt+Tabbing back to Windows, the problem is fixed for some Time. Only a few Times i hang in Windows after Alt+Tab with 4 Bit Color and cant do anything else than Restart.

(Geforce 6800, with Newest Released WHQL Drivers, Windows XP SP2)

I have the same problem with my sound, first the fighting sound efx then all the sound, then after that my compass goes black and my curser turns into a block, leading to a black screen after a few minutes crashing my computer.

The toshiba laptop problem... I just read through and did not see it, and I know this thread was for April but I did not see one for May.

The problem is as follows:

On a Toshiba Satellite laptop with an integrated Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Extreme Graphics card, 480 ram, a 2.8 ghz mobile pentium 4 processor, the game will crash when doing inventory related things.

It has crashed for me when I have attempted to:

move an item
drop an item
equip an item

both in and out of town. It happens more frequently out of town and when equipping things for the first time, but is not limited to those situations.

I have read in the topic that it also crashes when exchanging items with merchants, though I have not attempted this yet.

A much more minor bug I have is that when the terrain is put on anything above low, the textures become blocky. I see a square of road or sand or whatever layer it decides to show, and instead of having a smooth transition, the next square is a different texture, like tiles. Sometimes these squares switch through the different layers of texture that are supposed to be there. I can leave textures on low without any problems at all, though, and will leave it that way. I just thought I would mention since playing with my terrain textures does not seem to slow my computer at all, rather just create the tile effect and increase the detail on the textures.

Same here, after about 1-6 hours of play my sound disapears then I get wierd graphic bugs (1-5 min later). I made screenshots of some minor errors but the ones I made from the major bugs are not viewable

After the graphic bugs the screen turns blue (no windows blue screen) and the system comes to a complet halt. No soft reset possible.
I'll have an onboard Soundchip and a ATI Radeon 9600.

Just browsed through the error logs and found this:
*--> Crash <--*
Exception: c0000005
Memory at address ffffff64 could not be read
App: Gw.exe
ProgramId: 1
Build: 10616
When: 5/1/2005 21:33:39
Flags: 0

Its always the same exeption with the same memoryaddress.
Could someone with the same problem check his logs?

when sitting down, if you move to a nearby spot the character will stand instantly, take a few steps and at the destination instantly sit down again, then perform the 'standing up' animation. The character should just instantly stand up and stay up.
the dialog closing button has indeed become difficult to click, it seems the interface will wait for the X highlight to appear before accepting the click, and this highlight sometimes doesn't appear even if you're aiming straight at the center of the X (only to appear when you move to the corner of the X). Especially on slower systems this can get frustrating.
At some point coming from Druid's Outlook I had what seemed like a transparent texture filling my screen that persisted until I logged off and back in. Couldn't reproduce this, but maybe it can give the programmers a clue.
Not sure what changed in the graphics engine, but three of my guildmates had very bad graphics artifacts in GW this beta, two of which managed to fix it by reinstalling their graphics drivers, one was unable to play - all had cards within the minimum specification, with two ATI Radeon 9800 Pros and one geforce4 mx420 (which ended up unfixable). Not sure if this is related to directx, the video cards, the drivers or GW itself, but those systems were able to run GW just fine before this BWE.
For some reason GW doesn't multitask as nicely while viewing inventory or when viewing the map. I noticed this in the music I was playing in the background - my sound drivers currently aren't exactly optimal due to Audigy issues, but had no trouble in-game, however whenever I loaded my inventory or the map the music began to skip/break up. Especially the map seems an awkward thing, since it shouldn't be more than a texture overlay with a few highlights and hotspots.

Indeed I encountered this as well and it persists. Occasionally, Little blocks will appear in the landscape and in the sky, with primary colors in them and sometimes they're shades of black. Sliding the options slider down one and then back up to max clears them, but they show up again, sometimes almost immediately. I have an AMD 64 w/ Radeon 9800pro 128MB. Began playing about 2 weeks ago and this started happening about 4 days ago. Tried updating ATI driver but it didn't fix it.

This didn't happen to me until I got to Yak's Bend, and turned level 11, as a W/Mo. Suddenly, I couldn't play for five minutes without crashing to login and having it say "Cannot complete operation err=7". I have a Ati Radeon 9800XP and all programs and drivers are on their most current build. Windows firewall is disabled.
It happened as a string of errors. First my enchanter henchman walked into the air and stayed about two character heights off the ground. Then I was playing in a party and suddenly everyone stopped moving. I do not mean that they froze, but it was as if they just stood in place, still bobbing up and down, and my menus would work, but I could not move them and the enemies didn't attack. 10 seconds later, err=7. After that, I was playing The Wayward Monk quest by myself and had gotten to the dwarf by the resurection portal, I talked to him and... err=7. I am unable to play the game on any character for more than five minutes, and this just started yesterday at about 8 o'clock. I hadn't recieved any major updates to the game, so I don't have any idea what to do. I'm effectively stuck and would really appreciate some help. Thanks

Sounds like from other threads that ArenaNet was experiencing server overload last night, based on an email from support and numerous complaints. I didn't get any errors but did get some stuttering, as well as NPC's, monsters and myself teleporting about a bit.
