Hello, when fiddling around with the in-game settings, getting the game to a decent and constant 60FPS, I accidentally changed my refresh rate to 30Hz… And now every time I boot up GW2 past the log in and Play screens my TV/monitor(Samsung SyncMasterP2770HD) doesn’t detect the input, so I have a black screen now..

I am using a GTX 560 and the DVI to this monitor and everything else works fine, but I screwed up the in-game refresh rate and can’t change it back because my monitor can’t be changed to 30Hz(as far as I can tell).
I did some display changes and such in Windows, hoping that would work but it hasn’t.
Is there a way for me to change the settings for GW2 without it being in-game, or do I just need to uninstall and then download and install GW2 again??
I’m usually pretty good at technology and computer settings and such, but I changed the refresh rate from 60Hz to 30Hz and didn’t realize it till it was too late..
Any suggestions?

Be brave.

Hi Yayap.3180

Please delete the local.dat file located in your C:/Users/Username/Documents/GuildWars2 folder this will reset your ingame settings to their default options.
