Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed since yesterday that the snowy areas I visit (namely Lornar’s Pass/Snowden Drifts) are covered in… purple snow. Any chance somebody knows what’s going on here?

Looks like textures are missing, try do some repair on the client.

Do I have to completely uninstall/reinstall the client to “repair” it? If so, I think I can live with this for now. :V

If you’re lucky enough it’s an issue with the game, if you’re unlucky, you’re graphics card is dying. I’d do the repair asap, if I were you, it’s lenghty, but not as much as a reinstall, to see if it was the game’s fault.

Well, seeing as my computer is pretty new, I’m rather certain my graphics card isn’t dying.

Can someone tell me the process of repairing?

May be caused by driver-game incompatibility too, try updating those too if the repair doesn’t work.

To repair client, copy the exe, and right click, select preferences, and add -repair in the end of the target
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -repair

Is how it should look, start the exe, and it will start repair

Edit: the target depends on where you have GW2 installed, but I think you get that point ^^

I’m not seeing Gw2.exe in my file, just Crash.dmp, Gw2.dat, Gw2, and Gw2.tmp

You can also open cmd, drag the Gw2.exe, in your case Gw2 only, and then after “C:\…\Gw2.exe”, add -repair

Like this
“C:\…\Gw2.exe” -repair

Alrighty, thanks.

You’re welcome ^^

Repair succesful, purple snow gone! Thanks e’erybody.

Even though it was solved I wanted to point up a mistake here. You don’t have to copy the “exe” but the shortcut for it (usually “lnk”). And then in the shortcut properties you add “-repair” to the path in the Target field. Or you can try that via command prompt or through Run command, as others have mentioned here.
