Guild Wars 2

So apparently there is a new update today, I was trying to launch the game to download it but it wont open anymore. From shortcuts to trying the actual location of the game files. Do i really need to do a fresh install just to play? Or is there some other way i can fix the launcher to actually open?

it opened about 7 processes but didn’t actually open

Hi Klipso, in short, no you do not need to do a complete fresh install, GW2 will patch itself. Dunno how tech-savvy you are, try running the client with the “-diag” command line parameter (more explanation here) might help highlight some issue. It might just have been the update server(s) were getting heavily accessed at the time (big update, lots of clients etc), maybe just trying again now might work. Failing all that, might help tech support, if you can, post some details on your system (version of operating system, using 32- or 64-bit client, when did you last do a windows update, that sort of thing).
