Guild Wars 2

I’ve been noticing lately that GW2.exe is still running after I close the game. I exit the game as I always have by using the “Exit to Desktop” option. The only way to actually close the application is to open the Task Manager and end the process from there. Is there a background process that keeps GW2.exe open that I am unaware of or is this something of a different nature all together?

Same thing here! and the lags!!

I’ve notice this as well. It also stops you from reopening your client. you need to end the gw2.exe from the task manager.

I’m having this same issue.

same for me… One question, this game is still in beta?

The game is not in beta.

I just noticed this happening to me for the first time. Not quite sure what’s causing it, but it sure was open over 12 hours after closing the client when I took a look in Task Manager, with a massive amount of memory being used. If this just started happening to people recently, like it has to me, then I’d suspect the patch on the 28th is to blame. Not really a big deal in retrospect, considering the game has always run wonderfully otherwise. Just a minor annoyance.
