Hey All -

I received a patch yesterday morning (very small), but since I got it, I haven’t been able to successfully zone into the game. System Specs:

4th Gen i7
Nvidia GTX970 SC (EVGA style)
16 GB RAM
Game installed on an SSD

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open Launcher
2 )Login
3) Game auto-launches after 3 seconds
4) Taken to character select screen
5) Select Character and Click “Play” (lvl 80 Mesmer, logging into Lion’s Arch on Darkhaven)
6) Within the next .25-1sec, the process stops responding
6.1) Music continues to play normally
6.2) Cursor moves as expected
7) I waited up to 20 min for the gw2.exe process to start responding, without success
8) I’ve repeated 4-5 times with the same result.

Any guidance?

Thanks!
