As of today (was fine yesterday) the patcher is crashing every single time. I tried removing the .dat file (I actually just renamed it), but still get the same error.

—> Crash <—
Assertion: Failed to load file.
File: ..\..\..\Services\LoadHandle\LoadHandle.cpp(144)

I am running windows 8.1.

I saw some things about running it in XP compatability mode, this did not help.

I also tried renaming my Guild Wars 2 folder and running a clean gw2setup.exe, and I still get the same error.

I created a new account in windows and started guild wars 2 from there. It downloaded the whole game, but it runs on there. It still does not run on my original account.

ok, found the problem.

Had to go to “C:\Users\[my name]\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2” and remove the Local.dat file.

AppData was a hidden folder so you have to type that in on the address bar of file explorer.

Now I just have to setup all my keybinds again …
