Guild Wars 2

Hi All

I have finally got around to installing a new SSD , copied the gw2 files across and the client launches fine but becomes unresponsive when I select a character ) character selection screen loads fine).

I have formatted the drive and copied the files across a second time now, also ensure the drive is running the lastest firmware and is connected to the correct SATA 6gb.

DL’ed samsung magician and the drive all reports good, optimised the system for SSD not HDD.

System Specs :

OS : Windows Vista Home premium (yeh I know the OS is kitten)
CPU: i5-3570k
GPU: Asus r9 280x
Ram: 8gb Corsair Vengance
PSU Corsair 1000w gold

Any suggestion would be good.

Make a copy of the GW2.dat file somewhere safe and then delete the Guild Wars 2 folder/application. Download the installer from the main website and begin the installation again. You can stop it once it starts downloading all the game files and just put the gw2.dat that you backed up inside the folder to replace the new one that the installer has created. It might just be that the game is looking for something in the wrong place?

How many SATA slots do you have and which one did you plug it in to? What kind of motherboard do you have?

Seeing as you just copied the files over it may be worth running a game repair (https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28148006-Repairing-the-Game-Client).

Done the repairs : Didnt change anything.

Mb : Asus P8Z77-V LX Socket 1155 2x SATA6 gb and 4 x SATA 3gb

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the .dat file will try tonight when I get home, and let you know.

Ok tried the .Dat options with same results , gonna try a clean install of gw2 , was hoping to avoid it (boo). Thankyou all for your suggestions.
