Pink icons and crash.
The archive needs repaired, I get this from time to time, normally after an update to the game, and a texture patch gets corrupted, I just run -repair and it fixes it, I don’t know why it does this,
That is the reason you don’t see it in other games,
Have you tried manually doing the -repair command?
I have no idea how to do it q_q
Try this: repair
Right click on the GuildWars2 icon goto properties in the target field add the -repair after the last quotation mark it should look something like this:
“C:\Program Files\GuildWars2\gw2.exe” -repair
If if the stuff between the quote look a little different that’s ok don’t change anything inside the quotes just add a space and then the -repair, click apply, then run the game. It will look like the launcher is downloading the game again that’s ok it is just checking each file and replacing any that are corrupt, also you may not see the red download line move this is normal. If you see that it is checking files and the file count is going down then all is good. This may take some time but not as long as it takes to download the whole game over again. Hopefully this will fix your issue if all goes well and you get into the game or what ever happen you will need to remove the -repair command or the repair will start over again next time you run the game.
put the correct term in but not everyone has kittens
As I said when i’m doing repair it’s get crashed on 8k file. :/
