<p>I've suddenly started having game crashes very frequently (about once every hour).   I can tell right before it's going to crash because certain textures suddenly become very wrong.</p><p>In some cases fae/arasi wings, some cloaks, and some weapon blades become a mix of purple, blue, and predominantly white pixels in a very scattered pattern.  You can only tell what they are supposed to be from the shape.</p><p>In some cases, such as the lava fields in lavastorm the entire lava area and the heat shimmer above it becomes tall columns of various shades of brown and yellow pixels.</p><p>Once I opened my bank bags up and roughly 80% of the items shown in their slots were blacked out where their icons should be.  Not the whole square, just the icon.</p><p>It's like certain things aren't loading correctly.</p><p>I also notice that it often takes me longer to zone into places.  No place in particular it's just when zoning relatively often it takes a long time before it actually starts loading the zone and once in a while it just never loads and I have to kill the game and restart it to get out and back in.  This has happened very infrequently in the past but now it's happening fairly regularly.  I can pretty much guarantee it'll happen a couple times whenever I play now.  Of course this may or may not be related to the issue that's crashing me.</p><p>I can't definitely say this is the result of GU53 but this started happening to me right after GU53 was applied so there's a fair chance it's related.  I just didn't see anything off hand indicating that this was happening to other people.</p><p>Has anyone else had these issues, primarily the crash issue I'm seeing, and is there a thread for it already that I can follow?</p><p>Thank you.</p>

<p>You are not alone. Since the last update, many have been seeing - high CPU usage, long zoning times, graphics going bonkers followed by a crash to login screen - etc.</p><p>There were some nice game changes in the update, but performance has taken a big hit.</p>

<p>Thank you much for the response.</p><p>After not seeing a list of people posting the pixel coloring problem in threads I was thinking it might be just me and it could still be but I'm thinking not.  I also didn't have a lot of time to go searching threads and what I did find in my brief searches wasn't the same.  So it's good to know it's not just me.</p><p>I guess now I just keep rebooting alot and hope it gets patched soon.</p>
