This is the only error I am seeing:

err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 2528 bytes in thread 0022 eip 000000007bca5605 esp 0000000000140c20 stack 0×140000-0×141000-0×240000


Events leading up to the error: GW2 has been playing fine for many months. I was playing last night in the new area “Ember…”, after downloading all the new map and game updates, I let it fully download, and the game was still running fine. However today when I try to launch the game, it will not even launch!

I will be glad to provide any additional information needed, and to perform diagnostic tasks if asked.

Self Resolved without support needed.

In making a backup copy of my game folder, I was alerted that the “gw2-64.exe” had bad i/o in it’s file.

Solution to getting the game working again, was to re-download the 64 bit client, and copy it into my game folder. (It had to download some of the updates again, but only a few.)
