Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

After this new patch, I’ve been crashing upon trying to login from one of my characters.
I don’t know if this ties into everyone logging off for the new build and the spike in logins which I kinda doubt, but is anyone else experiencing this issue?

and how do I go about fixing it (I’ve waited 10 mins or so before logging in and still same issue)

I have the exact same issue…. Think the only solution is to redownload all the files

me too, hope it’ll be fixed soon

Do you know how to do repair the files other than just deleting all the files and re-downloading them again?

Edit: I found out!

try this for now and then if that doesn’t work we should come back to this thread

reapairing doesnt work….

Yup, repairing my game didn’t work for me either :c

Okay, I fixed it!

What I did was locate to the original directory of GW2:
C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2 and move to the \bin64 folder and remove d3d9.dll and restart the game and try logging in! I found this from this user!

Can confirm too. This worked for me. Thanks

Please fix this! SweetFX no longer working…

Sounds like you guys are running ArcDPS or some other game modification that hasn’t been updated yet to work with the new build.

CalenDB.2376:

Please fix this! SweetFX no longer working…

That is a SweetFX problem. Any software that hacks the rendering pipeline is potentially broken after a patch, and it’s absolutely unsupported by anet.

(Also, technically, against the ToS, not that SweetFX is likely to cause you any trouble or anything unless it ends up being usable to see through walls or something.)

Same deal as DPS meters, VoIP overlays, etc, etc.

After all the updates, I try to log on to get to the character screen, but before that comes up I get a screen that says Unable to initialize 3D output. Please verify that you have installed DirectX 9 and an updated video driver.
I’ve never had any problems until now. Please help. I’m not very computer savvy.
Thanks.

You can try this, from the post above:

I’m getting all kinds of Crashes since the update. Can’t even log into my main anymore. :<

I was running fine last night.
This morning? I can’t even update without crashing.
I have tried the repair suggestions with no change, game crashes before it can begin.

I have now just taking to trying to download the game all over again. :<

The most common cause of these crashes are out of date things in the rendering pipeline: DPS meters, sweetfx/gemfx, VoIP overlays, performance monitoring like RivaStatisticsServer or Afterburner, etc.

Remove those, and see if the problem persists.

Never used any of those things.

I don’t use third party tools outside TeamSpeak3. But that isn’t tethered to GW2.
I tried Canti’s approach and have tried re-installing the game, but I can’t even do that.

I deleted the whole games folder and then just reinstalled using the Gw2Setup-64.exe to get a fresh start. So far it seems to have worked, as I can now log in again but, I’m still downloading all the maps.

I hope when all is said and done the crashing won’t be a thing anymore. :x

I deleted the Guild Wars2 folder from my programs list, too. This also doesn’t help.

Well, I can say my download keeps crashing. =/

I have issue since get updated, too. I launch game in 17/05/2017, download new updates and then when click “Play” button nothing is heppend. I already was reinstall game, nvidia drivers, trying -window, -repair options on gw2.exe shotcut, remove all gw2 files on dist (in appData folder). Steel when click on “Play” button nothing is happend – no error at all, just window is closing. But i have windows updates in 16/05/2017, maybe it cause issue.

Updated:
I fix my issue when read this topic – https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Windows-10-Creators-Update-causing-issues . After exit from RivaTuner app, i launch game. I don’t know why but before windows 10 update, i play in guild wars 2 with RivaTuner fine.

Windows 10 has changed … something. The rendering path that a bunch of different overlay things used to use, like RivaTuner, changed somehow, and it causes them to crash and burn now.

Update seems broken. Just got the repair dialog, too. No patches/hacks at all. Been on Win 10 CU for over a month with no problems. Killing the repair task and restarting does NOT trigger the repair dialog again.

If you have Premier Opinion get rid of it. It conflicts with GW2. Hopefully that may work.
