I have had GWs2 installed on my computer for along time and have been playing it with no issues as of yet… until today…. I played for a little while this morning and logged out to go run some errands for the day. i came back home and started up the launcher but then after about 10-15 seconds the launcher closed. I went to hit the shortcut and it gave me an error that Gw2.exe has been changed or moved and asked if I would like to delete my shortcut. I went to my GWs2 folder and found that only Gw2.dat was left in there. (what??) so I did a search for Gw2.exe and it’s gone. not on my computer not in my recycle bin…. gone….

So here I am, re installing it…. does anyone know what might have caused this so I can avoid this pain in the future? I was really looking forward to playing tonight

Sounds like what happened is gw2.exe downloaded it’s patch, applied it and the rename of the patched version back to gw2.exe failed after it deleted the original.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

RIP City of Heroes

Could also be your Antivirus that thought its a virus because the file was changed.

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
