Q:

Hi, not sure if this is a bug or not but everytime I play my warrior my game crashes and I get corrupted files and need to keep running repair. It is only when I log on my warrior it happens.

I have happily levelled my guardian and elementalist with no issues what so ever.

I must have repaired these “files” about 20 times and it all just seems to be on my warrior even though I play my elementalist the most.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice but what is the local.dat? I’m a bit wary about deleting random files.

It’s not random :p The local.dat file is located in your ‘my document’s’ in a folder named Guild Wars 2. It holds all of your current settings and resets everything back to default (settings-wise). Sometimes this file gets bloated or corrupted and just needs to be refreshed by deleting it and when you launch the GW2 launcher, it recreates the file.
