Today I bought the game and made the installation on macbook air 13 late 2013 (OS 10.9.4).

when I run the game after authorization , then a black screen and cursor appears … there is no music!

already done : /applications/guild\ wars\ 2.app/contents/MacOS/cider —use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 — C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe -repair

CPU -Intel Core i5 1.3ggz
RAM – DDR3 4gb Graphics Card – Intel HD Graphics 5000
Full OS Version –OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

“delete the contents of the gw2 data folder, it’s a pain to get to the right one: this step is a general fix for many tp and graphics issues, even without the previous steps however, it will lose all saved log in/password and in-game settings.
To access this:
1 Click on the “Finder” icon located in your dock or the desktop of your computer to make “Finder” the active program in the finder menu bar.
2 Hold down the “Option” key on your keyboard while clicking “Go” in the finder menu bar. A drop-down will appear.
3 While still holding down the “Option” key, click on “Library” in the “Go” drop-down.
4 Once in the Library folder click on Application Support > Guild Wars 2
5 Move the entire Guild Wars 2 folder to the trash and then empty the trash.
The next time you launch Guild Wars 2 it will recreate the recently deleted folder.”

Are you kidding? Your described steps did not help in my case. It is the awfullest dissappoint in my game life. I have spent more then 5 hours to fix it, and now I just want to refund my money for game which I have owned. Please inform me about steps which are necessary to get refund.

I am having the same issues as well. Any ideas? Just installed last night. I don’t want a refund (yet) I just want to play!

Sorry that it didn’t work out for you – but you realise I’m just another player right, not tech support O_o… Deleting the application support folder works for a lot of people, sorry that it didn’t work out for you.

Good luck getting a refund, it should be very easy for you to do since you just purchased the game and aren’t able to install.
