Guild Wars 2

Uh. Hi. Sorta new to bug reports.

Four times since the last client update, the game hasn’t shut down properly. I close the game, go off to do something else, return and start up the game again, and I get an “already running” message. I can’t see anything, but if I start the Task Manager then it shows Gw2-64.exe still running in the background. The only way I can play is to “End Task” on the running version and restart it.

Have you tried a -repair of the client? Instructions found via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Search – Repair’.

If you continue to have issue, you can contact the Tech CS Team via the same link.

Good luck.

Just tried that – it took about 10 mins for the repair thing to finish, so hopefully it repaired something. Thanks! I’ll post again if I get any more problems.

Mines done the same thing since a few patches ago. have to go to task manager to shut it down. client repair doesn’t fix it have ran it 4-5 times 0 corrupted 0 repaired every time. This does this for several days then starts shutting down right then it starts again with having to go to task manager to close it.

Okay, uh, I just had the problem again. I think.

1) I click on the shortcut to start the game. Nothing happens.
2) I assume that I didn’t click on it right or fast enough or something (I have an old mouse, so this happens a lot), so I click on it again. I get the "already running” message.
2a) Task Manager → End Task on all the gw2-64.exe apps.
3) Click on the shortcut again. Nothing happens.
