Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,
Here is my problem. A few days ago, I formatted my window so I copy the guild wars 2 file directly to back it up. After I was done with the format, I copied the guild wars 2 file back to the C drive. Everything is fine. I can even start the game. But when i wanted to add the “-testVerticalFov” , I couldn’t find Locate text field labeled “Target.” Any solution to this ???
I will appreciate it!!

Are you trying to apply the switch to the GW2.EXE file itself or to the shortcut that launches it?

That switch is added to the command line that is called from the shortcut, which is where the “Target” field exists. So you may need to create a desktop shortcut, if you don’t already have one. It cannot be added to the executable file.

Sry, I dont really understand what you mean by the switch. And I also found out that the Gw2.dat icon and Gw2.tmp icon change to a weird icon. The weird icon is a white page with a lock at the left bottom. I wonder why here…

He means that in order to make the verticalfov line work,you need to make a shortcut from the GW2.exe first.Rightclick on GW2.exe,select send to Desktop ( create shortcut ) , now use that shortcut to add the fov line.

Ic. Thx Got it.

“-testVerticalFOV” is a command line argument or switch. It’s a parameter that’s added to the commandline when a program is run to modify the program’s behaviour. It cannot be added to the executable file’s properties, which is what it sounds like you are trying to do. If you want to run GW2 with the “-testVerticalFOV” argument, you will need to create a shortcut. That shortcut’s “Target” field will specify the full path to the GW2.EXE file (with quotes around it) and the “-testVertical FOV” argument.

The GW2 TMP and DAT file have locks is probably because Windows thinks they “need to be secured.” Those files don’t have an owner, by default, so anyone can get unrestricted access to them and potentially do bad things.
