Guild Wars 2

I updated Avast, restarted comp, and then followed Sunjammer’s method and clicked “restore and add to exclusions”, then “yes”, then “overwrite” and GW2 is now working fine, no download or re-install needed.

Same thing just happened to me. Glad I’m not the only one. Really annoying considering I just spent many hours a few nights ago re-downloading and installing the game, to get back into it after a year long break.
