Install Issue:download runs, then nothing
I have the same issue. I have been playing the game on and off for a year. At some point in the last little while I reformatted my computer, and did it as a 32 bit install… which was dumb. Played GW2 and noticed the problem with my RAM not getting to be used since the 32 bit couldn’t utilize all 16 gig. I reformatted back to 64 bit..and now I cannot install GW2. I have the exact same experience as you from disc or the download I did of the client. Even just having the local.dat file.
I would appreciate help as well.
