Guild Wars 2

If a moderator could pin this or create an official topic with this information that would probably be helpful.

A lot of people seem to be having issues where either the launcher does not load, the launcher screen goes blank or black or the game launches into a black screen.

Whilst not a guaranteed fix, there is a possible solution that seems to have worked for a lot of people:
- First of all, create a copy of the Guild Wars 2 application in your applications folder, that way if anything goes wrong you can simply put your copy back.
- Open up Finder and navigate to your user directory (Your home folder, usually your first name)
- Hold down the Alt/Option key on your keyboard and Click “Go” in your menu bar.
- Holding down Alt/Option should reveal the “Library” option, click this to open your user library.
- Open the “Application Support” folder.
- Inside this folder there will be a folder called" Guild Wars 2", create a copy of this folder on your desktop (Just in case something goes wrong) and then delete it from the “Application Support” folder.
- Run your Guild Wars 2 application, it should carry out a small update as it re-downloads/rebuilds the folder you have just deleted, hopefully fixing any issues you had previously with the launcher.

If this has worked for you then it would be great if you could reply to this post letting others know that it worked and what the issue you were experiencing in the first place was.

Happy gaming!

it worked for me ! i could not join the game since thursday, now its working perfect.

Thank you again…

Thank you this worked wonderfully~!

This also fixed my problem, thank you very much!

This fix didn’t work for me, but I did run into what caused the issue with the “s_initialized” error. The wifi that I was linked to when I encountered this error limits the ping for anyone downloading or online gaming on the network. As soon as I switched to another network it booted up and let me log in just fine.

It was also on a 2012 macbook pro/Lion 10.8.2.

So just some info to combat the problem. :]
