So there was an update not long ago maybe a couple hours or so, and my game was playing fine tell I died in Orr, and decided to head to Lions Arch, and my game crashed. I’ve tried it several time, and it crashes each time. I tried an alt I had in Lions Arch, and my game crashed. I tried an alt I have in Timberland Falls, and I can log in on him.

I have been having the same issues except, it only happens when i use any banner on my warrior. I get a crash error, started happening after an update earlier today. No issues before that.

Lord, you can try guesting on another server, then try to log onto one of the Lion’s arch planted characters. If you get on, move all out of Lion’s arch. Then you should be able to return to your server. Please post back if this helped or not.

Heyytix, this seems like a different issue, you should start your own specific thread giving as much detail as possible.

It’s kinda funny you mentioned that ‘cause I did try guesting, but it didn’t work. I did get it fixed, but after I reinstalled the game. I would have repaired the files, but I couldn’t find a repair option. It took a few hours, but I got to watch a great movie I’ve had on my hard drive but never got around to watching it, because I’m always playing GW2 lol.

It was weird though. It was like between Orr and Lions Arch my character got lost in a space between spaces, and the game couldn’t figure out if my character was in Orr, or Lions Arch.

Lol, glad you got it fixed.

For future, to repair, create a new shortcut to gw2.exe, right click on this shortcut, open properties. Add " -repair" to the path and save. (you want to add everything between the quotes including the space, but NOT the quotes themselves… Space dash R E P A I R). Save, then run the shortcut.

Ok cool I’ll try it. There was another patch today, and it started doing it again, so I’ll try that.

Ok this is weird. I tried to do what you said, but it said the path wasn’t valid. Then I double clicked the shortcut to make sure I didn’t screw up my registry doing it wrong, and my game updated and my game works again.

I’ll keep you posted on The Phantom of My Profile.

Yeah, a it odd, huh.

As an extra note, make sure you add the space dash repair AFTER the target shortcut quotation marks, not within.

But definitely keep us posted.

Hi Lord Erik – Glad to hear that the issue was resolved for you! More than likely, as Kyllaa mentioned, you may simply be lacking a space in your Target line for the repair option.

SuddenFool – Whatever issue your’e experiencing, I’d recommend creating a new thread being as detailed as possible in regards to your issue or creating a technical support ticket.
