I have been seeking an answer or fix action to the problem I am experiencing when attempting to login to GW2. When I attempted to login tonight the patch system started like it normally does, but when it finished the login screen never appeared.

I have seen the fix action to remove the bin file from GW2 folder, that didn’t work.

I have seen the fix action to remove SweetFX or GemFX, I don’t have those files as far as i can tell.

I have seen the fix action to use -autologin -nopatchui -email YOUREMAILHERE@YOUREMAIL.com -password YOURPASSWORDHERE and this did not work mainly because I don’t know where to put the text.

I am hoping that this problem simply fixes itself overnight, but would like some feedback from those that may have been experiencing the same problem and resolved it.

That actually worked for me, thanks for the idea. I am running 64 bit Win 7 and set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and the Log In button pops up almost immediately like it should and has been for years.

Thanks again for your help.
