Hello, this has been going on for a while and I figured maybe it would fix itself with a future path but HoT came out and it’s still happening. Basically whenever the game is closed either intentionally or by a crash, I have to wait somewhere between 10-15 minutes to launch it again. The game process will pretty much keep running in the background and I cannot even close it with Task Manager.

Now this is not a HUGE issue but it is a really annoying one as it has cost me several pvp matches and fractal runs as I either DC’d sometimes or crashed and had to wait a really long time to enter the game again. Also whenever I download a patch, I have to wait before I can even run the game to start downloading it.

Guild Wars 2 is the only game/process on my pc that does this and it’s so weird. I already tried repairing the game with the tips suggested in the FAQ using the shortcut repair method and this started happening with the specialization patch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
