Game loads slowly after client crashes

My game has slowed down markedly recently, as well. It was fine until a couple of weeks, or so, ago. Sigh.
Edit: I have experienced next to no crashes over the past nearly 4 years, though.

Same happends to me, almost copy/paste of your problem… First client stuck on run for some time, then loading is going and going…(and its repeating every time) Tried with -repair but nothing changed… Sended 2 crash reports to ANet… I hope that someone will see ours problem and help us to solve it. I love this game but this is just disappointing…
Earlier, I attempted playing the game to see if anything might have changed. First off, the issue of slow loading remained but it didn’t require a long waiting period. The lagging I experienced was few, which allowed me the opportunity to play for a while. However, the client crashed again and it went downhill from there. After logging back into the game, the constant lags returned shortly thereafter.
At this point, the entire problem has become exhausting. On top of that, I can understand the feeling of disappointment; taking into consideration the amount of time spent enjoying this game. I’ll continue hoping for a resolution however, I just might have to sit GW 2 out for a moment.

I’ve been playing for going on eight months now. During that period of time, I cannot remember the game running slow and lagging to this degree because of repeated client crashes.

Likewise, it seems no matter which steps we try to take in alleviating the problem; it ends up becoming an endless circle. Hopefully, someone will be able to provide a solution for us.

I’m stuck in same boat, load times for basic zones are like trying to load into LA during a festival such as Halloween. And when I do load in I have to wait longer for the city graphics to load. In all fairness my pc is a toaster, stuck at win 7 32bit with 2 gig ram and 2 gig video card. I need to buy a new pc upgrading isn’t an option to old. Don’t suppose you have a trade in program :p anyways everything was fine till a week or so ago I also followed a link to dump the cashed which seemed to help for a day or so but stuck again.
Yay, finally i found and fixed my issue and bring back game to normal after slow/hitching/suttering/long loading screens problems
First, as we see, problem with game starts at mid July, same time(after I searched this days) as Windows 7 started to have huge memory leaks according to Internet. So now this fixed game for me:
1. Open Task Manager and look if one of svchost process is taking too much memory and cpu consumption.(maybe need to click “show processes from all users” to see that)
2. If does, in Services tab, find Windows Update service and go right-click on it, then stop. After that, back on Process tab and see if svchost process is reduced memory and cpu consumption. If yes, start Guild Wars 2 and see how games reacts now.
3. If game is now working properly, there are 2 solutions to fix this for good:
a) Start Resources, find Windows Update service, right-click on it and go Properties. Then at Startup type choose Disable. That will from that point disable Windows Update for future. (I’m not recommending to disable WU for good).
b) Go on MS Support site and find this 3 updates: KB3102810, KB3135445, KB3138612. Download them, and install. (after each install, restart pc). Those are 3 patches for svchost memory consumption and cpu usage, and also fix Windows Update program(’cause who have problem with svchost also have problem with Windows Update).
Personaly I went on b solution, and game are now smooth and fast as it was.
I hope that this will help for others.
Pozdrav
P.S. This also resolved my lag problem
