Guild Wars 2

So I updated just a few minutes ago, and then tried starting up the game. Logged in fine, but then…

Launcher froze as soon as I pressed Play…

I’m on Windows 7 x64, Intel i5 CPU, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics card.

Edit: the black background is not my desktop, but what happens to be displayed as the launcher window background when the launcher window freezes.

I’m getting this exact same thing

I’m getting the exact same thing also only difference i have is a Nvidia 560 ti graphics card. This is the first time Guild Wars has ever given me any launching troubles

Odd, I left the launcher in the frozen state for about 15min, then the game started up.
I just re-started the entire thing from scratch, and no freeze this time.

It started up for me finally also.
