Party variants cause crash
Certain party variants seem to make my game turn itself inside out and crash. I cant get too close or wild with Party Brainz, and Party Imp is a 50/50 of my game exploding. Partyman seems safe, sinc...
Forum Discussion
Do any error boxes come up when it crashes? Does the whole computer turn off or just back to desktop?
Please post a DXDiag as described here

Repairing game from Origin may help.
Otherwise, I suspect it may be GPU or GPU software related? Make sure your on the latest drivers and reset the default 3D Properties. If you have any overlay programs (overwolf, msi gaming app, riviatuner, fraps, etc) try disabling them.

It pops up with the usual "Garden Warfare 2 has stopped working", like when a program freezes and windows tries to fix it but cant.
I rarely use fraps, and the only overlay i had running while the game crashed was the Origin one.
I'm personally assuming its the particles. 🥳
The crashes go like this;Glitter everywhere - slight frame drops - crash
Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Driver Date/Size: 2/22/2012
Name: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M
10/3/2015
------------------------------------------
I believe what is happening is it's trying to use the HD4000 instead of the 650m.
First:
Go download the latest nVidia drivers here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
While installing them click Advanced -> tick Clean Install (this will reset all 3D settings to defaults)
(Restart if needed)
Force the 650m to work like this:

nVidia Control Panel -> 3D Settings -> Program Settings -> Add Program (PvZ:GW2) -> High Performance Processor::::

If that doesn't help at all and you still get the same error messages, please check here:
Open Reliability Monitor and look for GW2 crashes
Click "View Technical Details" when/if you locate a GW2 crash.
Fault Module line is what I'm interested in seeing.
I tried all this, and just now when i went to do infinity, i crashed again after getting surrounded and using the spinny attack. (Probably particles)
I would use that Reliablilty monitor, if i knew where to find it. Q_Q (I has danish computer, everythings labelled VERY differently)
