Corruption of MainCli.cpp
THE best thing you can do is to delete the game and download it from scratch.

Thanks for the advice. I deleted and re-downloaded the entire game… over the coming days I will see if that makes a difference.
After the full re-download I had a couple of days without crashes. This morning the game installed a patch, and since then, the MainCli.cpp problem has returned, and I have just had my second MainCli.cpp crash (after the patch, the game crashed, then I did a full repair, played for half an hour, and now it crashed again… both times because MainCli.cpp was corrupted). My original statement stands… it should not be possible to corrupt your main game and crash because of that… that’s just bad programming!
I currently have this exact same issue. I’ve tried downloading and redownloading on both my HDD and SSD. I crash a few times a day trying to level. When I first downloaded the game as it came out, I had no problems. I came back to try again and now it’s agonizing to try and do anything because I can repair, crash, repair 4 and 5 times before I’m able to do anything.
I’ve the same issue. About 1-2 months ago after a large patch I had a really bad series of files corrupting (happened more in wvw and big pve events, NEVER in spvp though) so I deleted and re-downloaded the game to no avail. The only thing that helped was moving the entire game from C: to D: where it’s been running perfectly since until the past 3-7 days. The game will crash usually when I’m in a loading screen or when I’m zooming in on the world map somewhere, but it just now crashed while I was doing nothing in front of a tower in WvW.
At this point I’m wondering if I should consider investing in a new HDD and/or RAM if this is where the issue would be stemming from.
I hate to revive “old” threads but I feel that this problem really needs to be addressed, I’d never really found it much more than an annoyance because it only happened when going to a waypoint or loading into an area and then it was only waiting 30 secs to get back in to the game but with the latest update I’ve found it very frustrating. Earlier I was doing an invasion event and had been at it for a good 35 minutes, the last group of minions were about to go down and then Scarlet would appear but as I went to the nearest waypoint the game crashed with this error (as it usually does 4-5 times a day for me). When I got back in I was on an overflow sever where the event wasn’t taking place so I waited a minute or so and then I was prompted to move back to my server. To my dismay when I got there the event was done and I had no reward for it and also didn’t have the daily achievement. This was rather annoying. It now makes me very hesitant to do any invasion events which is a shame as I really enjoyed them, it was also one of the main reasons that I logged in daily and without the temptation of doing one I’ll find myself on the game less and less.
However I do love the game and want to keep playing and with that in my I think I can shine some more light on the problem. When I first started playing GW2 last year my friend copied over all of the files from his installation onto my PC so that I could play ASAP. The game worked perfectly and I loved it but then work picked up and I found I had less and less time to play games, eventually I uninstalled it. Then last month another friend said that he was thinking about getting GW2 so I decided to re-install it, however after only a day of playing I started getting this crash. Same hardware, same version of Windows, so I thought that the problem must be new so googled it but I found people reporting it before I had even started playing last year.
To me this suggests that there may be a problem with how it is downloaded onto some machines (although I’m not really sure how this would cause it since as far as I’m aware the error is caused while extracting files from the archive which corrupts and crashes the game), I can’t really say for certain until I try another friends installation on my PC but, since his worked and mine doesn’t it does seem possible. Does that seem like any sort of credible theory? I know quite a bit about computers but not so much about networking and content delivery so I’m not sure if it’s possible.
I’d also like to see some sort of official standing on this, I’ve only seen the same few “resolutions” mentioned in every post on the subject, it would be nice to hear that it is at least being looked into instead of just saying the same thing over and over then ignoring the thread.
Okay, I have had enough of this.
It’s unbearable that it can happen anytime (Even right after a repair).
Especially when It happens while the final dungeon boss fight.
Crash→Repair→Crash→Repair→Crash→Repair
For 1 year, you failed to fix this freaking MainCli.cpp.
This is unacceptable.
It would be good to find out if anything is being done about this issue. I hope the developers understand that this problem can ruin the victim’s impression of the game. If this game had a monthly subscription the bug would’ve been fixed by now, but since they already have your hard earned cash through purchasing the game, maybe they don’t see it as a priority.
My first ever forum post is going to be concerning this data file corrupted. This is getting to me. I have a computer that can run any game to date maxxed out and not even begin to break a sweat. But every day, trying to play GW2, because of something on YALLS end, it errors out like 20-30 times a day. I love this game, I do. But why has this not been fixed? I’ve sent tickets, i’ve sent everything else. I spent as much as I did on a machine because I enjoy things running above average, not because I enjoy ONE game crashing for no reason. Spend a couple grand on a computer, every other game is like hell yeah dude! GW2 is just like nah bro, i’m good, gonna crash out on you while you are stomping someone. Fix it.
