The latest patch (17/ Oct) for the MMO Guild wars 2 has added a new graphics setting (DPI scaling) that causes the game to crash if stereoscopic 3d is enabled.

Well, You are right =(
It's obvious they stopped supporting 3dvision for this game. even though the new expansion still has pretty good support I guess the only thing to do is send the bug report that appears when it crashes. I urge you to do this.
I did so. Will never play this game without 3dvision.
Ahhh Thankfully at least it seems a developer is looking into it. Was this you?

Good lord it's good to read another report about this issue, and, you have the same issue start date I have; 10-17-17. I did not know that they added the DPI Scaling feature. I will turn that off and see if it helps. I ABSOLUTELY agree that this game is only worth playing with the 3D functionality. In fact, I spent a great deal of time, effort, and money, to upgrade my entire system to make it NVidia 3D compatible, using the GTX 1080, NVidia 3D approved ASUS monitor, fast computer with plenty of mem; the works, all JUST to play GW2 in 3D. I've spent a lot of money with GW and GW2 over the years, since the beta GW, and they should consider that fact when determining whether to continue to support 3D, or not. I also play other games purely for 3D content. In 2D GW2 is pretty, but, after going 3D in everything else including GW2 I am not going back to 2D. I sincerely hope 3D will continue to be supported by GW2. But, if they decide not to, well, I guess that will just free my wallet from anymore money spent on GW2. I think that over the years I've spent 3000.00 with ArenaNet for GW2 alone, if not more. Hey, if they don't want my money anymore, then all they have to do is just say, "sorry, no more 3D," and that will be that. I will let my accounts take up room on their servers, but, I will move on to other 3D friendly games.
Thank you for reporting this issue. I've put in several tickets and uploaded screen grabs and their GameAdvisor files.

Another fact that has me disturbed is the silence I get from GW2 tech after sending my reports and asking them to simply tell me that they are working on the issue and not to worry...3D will remain in GW2. Their quiet on this issue is loud, looming, and cruel. If they think that VR is the way of the future and that is going to be their focus (Like what happened with Doom) then they are in for a rude awakening when they discover that people are just wearing those VR goggles until the fad wears off. 3D enthusiasts are not going away. The technology will change, no doubt, and become more comfortable, but 3D will always come back; because people like the immersion. VR is uncomfortable. Fix the 3D, please.

Have all of you seen the new file in the GW2 folder called "THIRDPARTYSOFTWAREREADME.txt?" That appeared after the update on 10-17 that messed up our 3D. Read it and contact the people directly. ArenaNet has given a third party rights to our game!!!!

Have to chimed in on that link I posted where there has been a development response? your feedback would be far more useful there. *nevermind you obviously have =)*

I actually called the guy in the "THIRDPARTYSOFTWAREREADME.txt" text file, since he lists his phone number. Had to leave a message, but, maybe if he gets enough phone calls he will dig into his software that GW2 is using now and help to fix this 3D crash problem. Call him! I can't list his phone number here, or I could get sued, but you can find it easily enough near the bottom of the test file.

Necropants, really like your pic. Looks like Iggy Pop.
Hey, we can't let this issue drop. We have to keep up the pressure on ArenaNet until we are heard. In the real world we (meaning Humans) can't fix world problems without choosing which idiot to vote in to represent us. At least in a macroworld like Guild Wars 2 we do have a voice. I'll bet you have spent a ton of money in GW2, as have most 3D enthusiasts. Let's do an Iggy Pop (slam around on the Web stage, until bloody) on ArenaNet until they give us what we want and need.

Yes, it was fixed. So nice how fast they actually got on top of this. I saw a development comment posted before I even knew it was a problem.
Such a breath of fresh air.
Iggy pop! *facepalm* haha.
