So i was going along for the final part of the final achievement of the nightmare tower into brisbane map over from kessex hills, and while loading Brisbane map (which i did not visit on my newbie character) my client crashed. Okay i chalked it up to “whatever you want to insert here” and headed to start the client again.
Yet after 4 times of unsuccessfull tries to start that character up the game just plain crashes if i want to load my newbie guardian character..
Help please.. I wrote a support ticket but i think it might be days before anyone replies, any suggestions?

First: Check the game for errors and repair it

  • Close your game completely.
  • Next, make a copy of your Gw2 game shortcut and rename it “GW2 Repair” or to something that you will recognize it for being only for running a repair on your GW2 installation.
  • Now, right-click this “Gw2 Repair” shortcut and click on “Properties”.
  • On the “Shortcut” tab look in the “Target:” field, you should see:
    “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2” or wherever you have Guild Wars 2 installed.
  • After the closing quotation marks in this line put a space and then add -repair
    It will look like this but with your GW2 install location:
    “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2” -repair
  • Hit OK after making this change.
  • Run this repair shortcut. Your game will run through a repair cycle and fix any damaged files it finds.
  • After it runs through, start the game using the normal GW2 game shortcut (not the repair shortcut) and see if you can load that character up properly.

If that did not help:
Delete the local.dat file
Deleting this file will also cause you to lose your saved game settings (graphics, stored login data, etc.) but may fix the problem. If you rely on your stored login info to log in, make sure you can recall what your login info is as the stored login info is also cleared.

The quickest way to do this is to:

  • Ensure your game is completely closed.
  • Hold your Windows Key and press ‘F’ to open your Windows Search.
  • Search for “Local.dat”. 2 files will be found.
  • Ignore the “Local.dat” file that is in the game installation folder.
  • Delete the “Local.dat” file that resides at:
    “C:\Users\YourComputerUserName\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2”
  • Load up your game normally and see if the character can load properly.
  • You will notice that your settings are reverted to default. You should reconfigure your game settings once again to your preference.
