I just got the game today, and to my disappointment i keep getting this really annoying crash to desktop with no errors. It has happend multiple times even when i restarted my computer my specs are:

128 mb ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Sapphire
512 MB RAM
1.7ghz AMD Athlon XP 1700+

PLEASE HELP.

You should have no trouble running Guild Wars with those specs.

We would need some more info though to help you.

What are the drivers you are currently using for your video card? Have you updated them lately?

What kind of sound card are you using? Have you tried playing the game without sound on?

Have you tried to play with your settings all at low?

Are there any error messages when you crash to desktop?

I am currently upgrade to Catalyst 5.5, i was using 5.0.

Im using Nvidia NForce2 Sound card. No havent tried playing with no sound on.

I'm gonna try putting all settings on low after vid card update.

No error message at all. Just CTD and then nothing

Yes, after the upgrade play on low settings with no sound. If it does not crash, turn up the settings. If that does not crash, turn on the sound.

That is not good! I was helping another person with the exact same problem and still have not figured it out. I would try http://www.omegadrivers.net/ and try out there drivers that match your card. I would also contact Guild Wars support if you have not already.

If you do that, first uninstall your previous drivers and then use a driver cleaner like this http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745 to make sure there is no traces left.

Sounds like a mem error... can you post the whole hex?

VonZhou · May 20, 2005, 12:12 AM // 00:12

Dont have it now =(. The crashes have returned to no error message again...sigh

I'd still doublecheck the RAM.

VonZhou · May 20, 2005, 12:26 AM // 00:26

My RAM works fine i think

My game's fixed. I flashed my BIOS and now its fine so that leads to 2 conclusions:

1) MY BIOS was messed up
2) Too much Overclock, and the flash reset it
