guild wars 2 client stuck after hitting login

Would appreciate a dev stepping up and saying something about this. In compatibility mode things such as reshade etc will not work and also the game should not be ran like this. My game works fine with r9 290 and latest AMD drivers, so there is a problem here with Nvidia/Guild wars 2. Dev response would be nice as yr technical department seems unwilling to realise there is a common issue here. All latest drivers….clean windows installation was tried too. Person is running a Clevo based laptop with a 870m. There have been several updates since this and no word of the problem or a fix has been mentioned. Please ANET respond to this thread and tell us you are looking into this as despite several chats with their technical department they seem either unaware or unwilling to accept this is an issue with THIS GAME ONLY. Cntrl alt delete fixes it and then the corruption happens. Every time the gpu is tasked with loading assets etc it causes hanging on map screen and this artifacting type corruption in textures. Something has been broken here, and it is to do with Optimus/Nvidia drivers and Windows 10 and guild wars 2. Only way to solve this for them was to run the game in windows 7 compatibility mode. Tried to help someone with this same problem tried windows 10 reinstallation, driver reinstallation (all nvidia drivers from 6 months ago) game repair, various tweaks. I’m going to try rolling back to an earlier Nvidia driver to see if that helps but I’m not sure if I’m barking up the wrong tree with the graphics driver. When dropping out to the character select screen it froze up. I then went back to the 359.00 driver but only managed one map before it happened again. I also suspected the Nvidia Experience was causing the problem as it wouldn’t load properly but having removed that I was still getting the problem.

My wife’s install of GW2 is running fine but she’s on Win 7 to my Win 10 and is running an AMD card instead of Nvidia. I also use reshade and thought that might be contributing but removing the files makes no diff. I’ve tried both 64 and 32 bit client as I have them installed separately and it happens on both. The problem only started from what I can tell after Tuesdays’ patch but around the same time I updated also the graphics driver. I’m on a GTX970 discreet card and was running the 359.06 driver. After a short time my whole computer stops responding as well and I either have to wait a few minutes for it to recover or force a reboot. When dropping to the character select screen or loading into a map I get a hang where GW2 stops responding.

I’m having the same problem from what I can tell.
