Guild Wars 2

My computer ran gw2 just fine until this morning after windows 10 decided to update on me. It was an unusual update that brought up a shifting colored screen that said “Hi. We’ve updated your computer. All your files are exactly where you left them.” and then something about new features I can’t recall exactly what it said.

But, since that update gw2 crashes immediately upon launching everytime. I’m using the 64-bit client and running as admin but it doesn’t help.

I’m not even getting details about the crash because it doesn’t pull up the gw2 crash data window like normal it’s always the windows “this program stopped working” window with no information or error codes on it. :/

Does anyone know how to fix this problem because I simply cannot play the game anymore until this is fixed.

I seem to have a similar problem. I was able to log into Guild Wars just 2 hours ago, before the patch. When started the game just now, it would download part of the patch and give me the launch error. Wouldn’t show me the login screen.

Windows 10 update tells me it checked for any possible updates today, at 10:44AM, but the last update in the history was on 1/28.

Update: I use Windows 10 64-bit, so I have run the GW2 64-bit client. I tested updating the 32-bit client, and managed to update and login to the game. Possible that it may be the 64 client?

With the 64-bit it only shows me this:

I’m getting this after I updated the game earlier. Also running windows 10 (64 bit) which did an update last night. Everything else works perfectly just Guild Wars has the 3D effect! lol Is it a setting I need to change? Never happened before.

Polly, Your problem is called Stereoscopic Rendering.

There’s a setting for it in your nvidia control panel(assuming you have nvidia) and one ingame.

Make sure both are disabled.

Go to your Control Panel and uninstall the Nvidia 3D drivers.

Try reinstalling your graphics drivers – Windows may have updated it with one of its own.

Thank you so much! With one click it was back to normal, although I’m not sure how it was enabled. Will remember if it happens again

You’re welcome.

When Nvidia updates drivers, the default setting is to install the 3D drivers. I manually update my Nvidia drivers and always uncheck that option (you have to choose ‘Custom’ for the install option).
