My son got the same problem with his computer. After the last update, the gw2 client stuck just after clicking the play botton. The only think he got is a blinking bar and i need to do a hard reset to get the computer back.
I did try the -repair method and the update driver also without any change. I didn’t find the .dat file to erase however.
Any idea?
He is on a windows XP computer.

I’ve been having the same issue – when I log in, and press Play, my laptop switches between the GW2 window (I just see the icon in the upper left corner, nothing else) and my desktop, continuously – and when I open my task manager, I can’t do anything there – it just shows the window with a white screen where my program list should be. I basically have to force my laptop to shut down and start up again… Oh, and I also have Windows XP
