Well I wasn’t but old computers apparently were from this game. Whenever I try to log on with my old faithful windows XP computer the game crashes and my computer bugs out. I get the black flicker screen and the rare BSOD. In the olden days of early 2013 us XP users would just delete the GW2 Local file and that would let us enter the game but now there is no local file to delete and the game crashes on you. I guess Anet wants us old PC users gone

Your title is quite misleading as per your aging hardware.

Local.dat was moved but not sure where. It’s in the hidden files I think maybe someone knows exactly where. Also the reason you got that problem is some how your local.dat file got set to read only, so when you find it make sure it is not set to read only this will fix your issue

Thanks, I’m going to see if I can play around with this some more. Every update it seems like the game makes it harder for people with Relic PC’s to play this game. I wish I had a new good running PC but I’m poor and must make due.

That’s… interesting. I think Arena Net knows that old PC users were having trouble getting into the game. There’s plenty of complaints about it and that was the only solution to it. Why would they make it harder for is by HIDING IT of all things.

That’s not a Windows XP location.
OP – just do a search for the file (make sure to include hidden and system files in the search) and delete it.
