Guild Wars 2

I have never had an issue before with this game.

Today I tried to launch and it appears that GW2 attempts to start once I add in my login credentials but nothing happens. I get a hand mouse over and I can see the GW2 tab in the task bar but that’s it. If I control alt delete it shows GW2 isn’t responding. If I kill the game and restart I get the same thing; I’ve tried restarting my system, updating my nvidia drivers and I checked for viruses; nothing works. I’ve ran other games located on the same partition and they run just fine.

I heard there was a patch this morning? I don’t recall the patcher dling anythin, is there anyway to force a check?

In addition every time I kill the unresponsive gw2 app my partitions just vanish and I have to restart.

I have this happening right now, everytime I click to open the client, it opens then stops responding.
Only fix I have found is doing a clean boot, but you have to do each time you start your computer, so is there anything else to fix it permanently?

same thing any answers would be great

This exact thing happens to me too, the game goes to ‘non-responsive’ after pressing [PLAY] … screen goes black … after pressing [Crtl][Alt][Del] i can only use my secondairy monitor and when i check my monitor(s) it gives me a warning that the drivers currently loaded are made for a prior windowsversion … so basically i knocks out the latest NVidea drivers I installed (hoping to fix this problem, and yes i had it b4 installing the latest drivers aswell) …

Now i had this problem b4, but a reboot usually fixed this, currently though (after the latest patch) that doesn’t even work. What i realy miss:

- A way to set the gfx settings prior to loading the game. So that i can try and see if setting them to all minimum fixes logging in, and so that i can turn up stuff as i go … right now i just feel frustrated for not getting into the game, and no way to test/see what is going on ?!

Using MSCONFIG, go to the ‘Startup’ tab. Uncheck the boxes for programs you don’t want to start with Windows. Click ‘Apply’, then ‘OK’. Reboot.

Windows will now remember your settings.

That doesn’t really help any of us… the problem is that when you manually launch the GW2 client, it hangs/stops responding, and it can (sometimes) be fixed with rebooting and trying again. The problem has nothing to do with modifying what programs start on boot, UNLESS ANet has introduced a change that conflicts with a common Startup program.

From the OP’s post:

“Only fix I have found is doing a clean boot.”

The latest patch seems to have solved it for me … atleast yesterday i logged in fine, and was very pleased to be playing all night ^^

@above post, scratch that, while it worked fine for 2 days after installing the latest patch.. a ‘valid’ crash (or atleast a crash that produced a ‘send in report’ feature) made the issue reappear, and i am now still/again unable to get into the game after pressing [Play]
