Guild Wars 2

I’ve just bought the game via the website and have downloaded Gw2Setup.exe
When I run the program, it immediately gives me the error
“Guild Wars 2 is unable to access its archive file Local.dat. Please verify that the file is available…”
Plz help me

run it as admin?

I have already tried but doosnt work

Did you change the default Document directory to somewhere else??
“C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Guild Wars 2”

or

Try running the gw2.exe from C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp

In that folder there is one file called Local.dat but when i click in gw2.exe appears the same problem

And i didnt exange the Document directory

try moving the gw2.exe gw2.dat & local.dat to a different folder.

Same problem but thank you for your help i have already created a ticket but it is kinda boring because i spent 40euros and i cant play. If someone knows the solution plz tell me

• You might have 3rd party stuff blocking access. Try a clean boot & disabling UAC

• Try deleting the local.dat file could be corrupted, it will regenerate.

Thank you for your help but i still have the same problem i have disabled the UAC i did a clean boot and i cant do the installation of the game

i have bought a copy of the game and when i run the disc it asks me if i would like t open it then it loads about 10 mb and stops and then reappears showing no loaded data it then disappears and nothing comes up again what do i do?

KastroMelo:
you said, that you found the local.dat – did you make sure that it has no write protection?

(go to the folder which contains the local.dat, rightclick on the local.dat, choose “properties” and uncheck the checkbox “write protection”)

Your errormessage is the exact same one, that i got when i experimented with write protection to solve my installation issues, so i hope this helps

Thanks i am going to see that because i saw in the other day but i think it disappeard dont know i am going to check

Nop there is no file named Local.dat it simply disappeard
