So I recently got back into playing Guild Wars 2, or rather thought I would, but Guild Wars 2 launches to a black screen. All the music from the newest update plays as if it’s on the character selection screen but the mouse is the Windows UI mouse and the screen is just black (and sometimes flickery).
I’ve already checked and there’s no nVidia Driver Crash recorded in the event viewer like there would be if the GPU driver stopped responding and recovered and all I have to do to get out of it is repeatedly tap ALT + F4 and then ALT + Tab and repeatedly press the “X” button until the game closes.
I am currently in the process of trying to repair the game but something tells me that it won’t work based on some threads that went unresolved said.
I’m just wondering if there is any fix or if this is a known issue before I open a support ticket with AreaNet.
