Trading post issues
Technical Support
Hi NickChabby – It’s possible that the problem you’re experiencing may be caused by outdated Root Certificates on your machine. In an effort to update these I would like for you to follow the steps below:
1. Close out of Guild Wars 2 if you have it running and go to your Documents folder. In the Guild Wars 2 folder you should have a file called Local.dat, delete this file.
2. Download the program from the link below:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/rootsupd.exe
3. Run the program. You will probably have to click ‘run’ or ‘allow’ a couple times, but after that, nothing will appear.
If you run the program and nothing happens that’s ok, it is as it should be.
4. Open the Game Client and try to access the trading post.
Hope this helps!
… And it worked! Thanks to you!
Just bumping this b/c I’ve had the exact same problem since launch.
The root cert update solution doesn’t always work for me. Sometimes it works the first try, sometimes after multiple tries, and sometimes I just give up b/c it takes to many tries.
By “try” I mean, I log into the game, see the TP isn’t working (exact same symptoms as OP’s post), close the game, run the root cert update program, shutdown the computer (complete shutdown, not restart), start up again, and log in.
Until recently it wasn’t a big deal because I wasn’t so interested in the TP, but now I am and it’s a pain to get it working this way.
It’s quite baffling that this “solution” works or doesn’t work randomly. Obviously there is some weird dependency with the OS going on (Windows 7 x64), but no idea what.
Any ideas?
