My launcher and client were working fine until just about an hour ago when I started the game and downloaded the latest (Sept 11) hotfix.
After the initial installation after the major content patch on Sept 9, I noticed that my auto login was not working on my launcher. My password was not being saved despite selecting it to remember my password. No biggie, I could log into the game without a problem.
After the Sept 10 patch, I noticed opening a little slower than usually. Nothing drastic at all. After today’s patch, the launcher does not open. Well, I managed to get it open once, but the screen went black and nothing appeared.
Now, upon opening the program there is a longer delay before the icon appears in the dock, but the launcher does not appear. But my dynamic graphics card switched over so there is some kind of response. With the Terminal I tried opening the cider file within Package Contents→ MacOS, but I’m waiting so long I don’t know if it has timed out or not. Inside Activity Monitor, just after starting the game, a single Guild Wars 2 process is there but soon a second and third.
After having just written this, my launcher finally appeared. It was a delay of at least a few minutes. I will test the game and see how it’s working. First thing I’ve noticed while tabbed out of the game, my fans seem to be running a bit higher than normal but well within safe levels.
