I have been running Windows 7 in Bootcamp for a while for gaming with no issues until now.

I have installed Guild Wars 2 and it all boots up OK, I start playing and bang black screen after about 5 to 10 minutes playing.

I assumed it is a graphics issue, I have tried a few combos of game settings to no avail yet.

Thing is if I lower the games settings any lower it looks terrible.

Then to add insult to injury as they say it runs in a Wineskin wrapper with only a few lighting glitches, so I do not see how the Bootcamp issue to do with my machine specs.

Have run diagnostics on my MacPro and all is OK.
Even tried this to no avail - https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/tech/Black-Screen-Issue-AMD-ATI

Macpro Specs
----------------
2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
OS X 10.6.8
6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
ATI Radeon HD 4870

Could it be a bug in the application and not specifically windows based?

Yes after some searching around it seems quite a few Windows users are getting this problem, oh well at least it runs in Wineskin :)
