If i use “-nopatchui -email -pw” i have a Blackscreen.

Ensure that your email and password are correct and the target of your shortcut is like this:

“C:\Example\Gw2.exe” -email myemail@example.com -password mypassword -nopatchui

The new patch created the problem for me -.-

Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings
Make sure “Automatically detect settings” is UNchecked

With the patch today – I went in a changed this setting back so it is now checked.
Launcher loaded. No error msg from Coherent. No freezing and able to log in as per normal.

Thank you so much for your efforts on this matter! I hope those that haven’t been able to log in and play since the interruption will be able to now.

now i’m able to play since the last pach and i’ve also used the new TP but there is an horrible lag and i’ve crushed after a bit :\

Still not working for me. I submitted a ticket yesterday, and was sent the zip file, but that didn’t fix it. I’ve tried all of the solutions in the various threads, including a malware scan. I haven’t been able to download the new patch at all, and now I’ve missed the reset night for first week of WvW leagues.

Holy crap Gaile Gray still works for Anet :O

few minutes ago the game say me that there was “serious error” etc. and i’ve send a message to Anet, now i’m able to play……….. i really don’t know what is happening

Having the crash problem as well. Sent in the reports, and also detailed everything I have done to attempt to fix it, and the steps I have followed. here’s hoping for a quick resolution. Not gonna get stressed the Devs have to take breaks as well.

many players are still stuck and i was able to fix this on my own.
technically after the patch it made everybody sad coz of coherent,for others, it fixed it using internet options.
100% fix to all users and there are two ways:
1. if u r not a technical person – uninstall the game and then go to your gw2 folder and delete the coherent file manually. then re-install the game.
2 if u r lazy but too technical – delete the current coherent file and re-install a new one(this one saved my time)

Deleted the file, now re-downloading and Re-installing the game. Well, it’s nap time.

Ok, I tried what Squirty said, going into the GW folder and deleteing the bin folder with coherent in it, nukeing my anti-virus and opening the launcher again. Seemed to work. Not sure how it will react in future updates, but here’s hopeing.

After the hotfix on 12 September 2014 the launcher hangs in the taskbar after reaching the ‘Initializing’ screen.

Before the hotfix my game would load to character select but wouldn’t let me enter the world due to crashing with errors ‘Code= 10:5:11:2462:101’ and ‘Code= 7:11:3:191:101’.

So I haven’t messed with anything since day ones suggestions, tried logging in just for giggles… Works on both my PCs now, kudos to the Anet team for making progress on this issue, keep up the forward progress

what happened back there was just a terrible distribution of patch…
its like a shared file of microsoft excel wherein, if everybody saves at the same time the file gets corrupt and only 1 can save on the same file. solution to that is to create a v2 of the same file w/out losing the content. so going back to coherent, its the same as i mentioned above. like i said its 100% fix to all users, unless anet will launch a separate installer for coherent that will make it easier for non-techy players….

I have a question about this CoherentUI_Host.exe *32 process. While observing this in my Windows task manger>Process tab, I am finding 2 instances of Coherent running while in game. Is this going to be a normal situation? Should we have both?? As both Instances are~ 39K of Working set (Memory)…

I remember so question can I have your frog mini :O

It seems that one instance is running at all times while in-game. The 2nd instance only launches upon accessing the gemstore/trading post. It will then close down after you close the TP/gem store.

The single instance that is always running while in-game is likely to allow your BLTP icon at the top of your screen to update and sync with your pickup tab when items/coin are ready for pick up. This idle one seems to sit around 12MB memory usage.

The 2nd instance is only running while the gem store/TP is actively open for it to function and update. This seems to fluctuate between 19-50MB memory usage while I have the TP open and then settle down to about 31MB if I leave the TP sit there without interacting with it.

This is my guess anyway.

Yes it is still refusing to launch even after deleting the bin folder and relaunching.

I tried patching an older version of Guild Wars 2 and it launched and let me log into the game world but as soon as I logged out and tried to relaunch it, it went back to the ‘initializing’ + freezing in the taskbar with no launcher in sight.

Sorry for having you miss the start of the WvW tournament. Could you please identify your crash as per one of my previous posts?

Hi,
I read through your posts, however when I go through the details of the crash report, I can’t find any line (or even the word) that says “Assertion”. I have gotten two different errors: 258: The wait operation timed out, and 997 Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.
I also cannot find any folder in the directory or anywhere else with the Coherent Dumps.

It sounds like you’re seeing some entirely different error dialog, and not our crash dialog. Could you take a screenshot of it? Please ensure it doesn’t contain any sensitive information before posting though. Or if you’d rather, you can PM me a link to a screenshot.

PM’ed you.

After deleting the bin once more and trying to launch it several times, it finally launched. I logged into the game and played around a bit but I did not open the trading post. It seemed fairly stable so I logged out to test it and once again, it refuses to launch.

If I let it idle for a few minutes while being frozen in the task bar it does not transfer any data over the internet and its memory usage in the task manager remains the same. I’m not sure how long it could stay like that, I usually close it after around 10 minutes max.

I see the windows crash dialogue when it wont even launch to the ‘initializing’ screen.
I see the guild wars 2 crash dialogue when it manages to get to character select screen but crashes before entering the world.
I see no crash dialogue when it just hangs in the task bar.

Whitelisting the whole \bin\ folder in my antivirus worked.

The website said “You do not have a proxy server or filtered internet activated.”
Yes, I use Bitdefender Total Security.

I’ve been testing deleting the bin folder and trying to launch the game for around 3 minutes before starting again. It takes around 30~ tries to get a successful launch.
The whole thing seems very random since I managed to successfully enter the game world again just now.

Edit: I whitelisted the bin folder and it made no difference. I’ll try the entire Guild Wars 2 folder as well.

PM’ed you.

Your error appears to be a more serious hard drive error. Windows is failing to write/read files to/from disk (for the two error respectively). You may want to run Windows’ disk check on the drive. If possible you could also try to copy the game to another drive and run it from there.

Actually, one more thing you could try is to check your task manager to see if Gw2.exe is already running. I don’t expect that to be causing this, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

I did a disk check, and repaired some errors it had. Tried running gw2 after but same failure. When I tried to copy the game to a dif drive it gives an error: “Can’t read from source file or disk: Gw2.dat”

I thought it might be the exe continuing to run a few times, so I’ve been regularly checking task manager but it’s not running.

Should I just reinstall the game completely, or will I have the same problems?

Haha…I finally found the problem.
It was a compatibility mode setting I had enabled.
I simply disabled it and let it run in the default Windows 7 mode = success.

Thanks for all your help, Johan Skold and everyone else who contributed to this thread.

That hot fix has not alleviated the tp problems for me, it loaded once and crashed twice since I tried…. If possible build a tp that doesn’t need browsers as that’s clearly a big problem that I’ve never seen exist in other mmorpgs. At the very least at least the staff here are giving info, why aren’t we getting such a service with the mac support threads?!

Hasn’t worked for me, prevented the game starting up as well first try after the delete.

That is correct. You should be seeing one while the trading post is closed, and an additional one when you open the trading post or gem store. The first one is used for communication between the game and the browser, and the second one is used for rendering.

With a failed tp load that extra gw2 process cuts out and tries to get back but again vanishes.

Yifang

then go to the 1st one, make sure you do it correctly.
ive fixed 7 users here, my friend, neighbors etc. using the 2nd step and it all worked and we are playing gw2 now.

BTW, thanks anet admin… even its laggy then being disconnected, i can still get my rewards after reconnecting. this is a total BOOST of progress of the game.thumbs-up here in the philippines.

Today i check back option “Automatically detect settings” and everything seems to work well, but yesterday i had windows blue screen which i didn’t had never from years using my system, after restart widows was working normal again, i hope windows isn’t crashed or something, of course i was doing the system scan for malware and nothing found.

No haven’t the patience to wait for a 30gb download, having said that it’s taking the staff much longer than the 5-7 hrs I’d need to redownload the whole game… Just to clarify step 2 has actually made my game worse, I didn’t crash before even getting the game up, only the crashing tp is my problem and that’s a big problem of course, so beware anyone else that tries step 2, nevertheless sounded like a good suggestion and as Squirty says it has worked for some… (And that’s a lot more help than what I’ve gotten from any Anet staff)

Deleting the bin folder is far from a technical procedure anyway, plenty have tried to redownload the game and all it did was give a game that won’t start or even complete the download so that puts me off for sure. There was a workaround in April where you rename the game and start to download a new client, stop and then name back the original client, not sure why but that did allow a non loading tp to work (Until Anet did a weekend patch that failed to solve the problem…)

My launcher works fine now and I can use TP without crashing, but now the launcher won’t autoload. I need to click play button for the taco to kick in. It’s not a big deal to click one button but was wondering what’s causing it? At times it also forgets my password.

I did a deeper scan disk and then reinstalled – works fine now! Woohoo! Thanks for all the help.

Seems to be a bit better, the tp processes aren’t committing suicide all the time now but tomorrow is a new day, we’ll see if that holds.

After getting in touch with support, and following various instructions, today I’ve been back in action – so big thanks to Tim, and Robert D!

Yifang, I am having the identical non-window appearing after initialization problem as you. the window is totally invisible and appears only in the task bar or if you max/minimize it you briefly see it. I use avg without firewall and steam on win 7 -64bit problem existed since the update and continues to have the support team baffled. I miss the old days of computing.

question for tech support. what is required to draw the window right after “initialization” that is what is not working correctly

May be jinxing it but only had 1 crash yesterday from the tp, seems to be improving. Support finally tells me they will get in touch, let’s hope. I am not using any antivirus so baffles me too. Actually yes the max/minimise did make the tp work once for me. The old tp for me was pretty unreliable at least till April’s feature pack.

Since the last patch, a week ago, I tried every day.
Launcher began downloading for a few seconds, initializing and disappearing rightaway.
Yesterday and today it doesn´t even download anything, but it keeps initializing and disappearing rightaway.
My OS is Windows 7 Professional on a 128 GB ssd. I don´t use anti-virus, nor firewall.
Windows task manager shows 2 instances of CoherentUI_Host.exe *32.
I tried several of the above suggestions, like reinstalling the game and moving the Guild Wars 2 folder. Emptying the bin folder, and launching immediately fills up the bin folder but changes nothing.
My Coherent Dumps folder has been empty all the time.
I really hope there will be a fix soon.

I have been dealing with the disappearing window since the add on I have tried every option offered, today I disabled my Nvidia GT640, clicked on the GW2 shortcut and yes I could see the regular login screen, my driver date was 7/2/2014 trying to install 7/29/2014 version of driver and see if that helps, all of you with this problem do we share the a common interest i.e. nvidia cards?..Okay latest driver no change…no driver arena launcher comes up, going to try rollback driver..337.88

YES success ! I was running GW2 day before the update no problems SOMETHING in that download changed NVIDIA to 16 bit instead of 32 bit that it was originally!
