I successfully preformed the 7/11/17 update and played for a few hours this afternoon. The next time I logged on I received a message saying that my data archive needed to be repaired. I accepted this task but the repair does not seem to be progressing. This is the first time I have been told that that the data archive has needed a repair (in close to 5 years).

My Windows Task Manager indicates that Guild Wars 2 is not responsive. Please advise us on how we should handle this situation.

Yep, same thing happening to me. I just forced it to close and restarted the game, seems to be working fine so far.

Same here. I got the patch and did a repair afterwards, as I usually do, then closed the game and relaunched it (without the -repair) and got a message saying something was wrong and asking me if I wanted to run a repair. Um, OK.

There’s something charming about rangers.

Same issue here. Just got a game-update, patcher restarts and advises me to repair GW2 data archive. I haven’t had GW2 data archive problems before.

GW2 is currently repairing. Windows tells me Guild Wars 2 is not responding, but it is still heavily using the disk. (Repairing data archive…)

I will see how the repairing goes. I assume it is still doing it’s thing without letting Windows know that it is still active/alive.

Update: Repair completed and game works now.

Chkdsk said everything is fine NTFS-wise: Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.

Ascalon will prevail!

You should read the thread next to this one that is all about the current connection problems. They are working on it.
