Guild Wars 2

I found a fix for me, hopefully it works for you.

1. right click Guild Wars 2 shortcut on desktop and select properties
2. add ‘-nopatchui’ after the target, without quotes, make sure you put a space between the existing stuff and the ‘-nopatchui’
3. Apply changes and click ok
4. Open up Guild Wars 2

Nothing will show up on your screen, but if you go to the folder where you are downloading Guild Wars 2 you will notice a file called Gw2.dat. If you press F5 while in this folder you will see that the size of the file will increase, the download is done when it hits about 14.9gb. If the file is not increasing, then try re-opening Guild Wars 2. Once Guild Wars 2 is done downloading, it will open the game but show a black screen. Close that window by doing Alt+Tab and right clicking on it in the taskbar and hitting close. Then right click your Guild Wars 2 shortcut and go to properties, and remove the ‘-nopatchui’. Then the game should run just like normal. I hope this helps you, this problem can be very frustrating.

Hi Bcmonks – After looking at your Game Advisor report what stood out to me is you are connected via VPN as well as your Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller. If you disable Hamachi do you still encounter this same issue?

I actually had the same thought path as you, I tried turning off hamachi, and even disabling the network connection 4 (Hamachi) in Network and Sharing Center, but to no avail, for it didn’t change anything :/ any other ideas?

Has anyone found a fix for this? I’m still suffering from this problem.
