Guild Wars 2

Since the 16th I have been having the same issue. A few secs after I hit the play button it starts a one centimeter band at the top of the screen which “Flickers” and I can’t even force quit the program to stop it. Just the power button will stop it from continuing.
I also have Windows XP. Not sure if that is noteworthy but others have been using that OS and logged the same issue in the forums.

And I’m one of those as well. I even tried downloading the game fresh and still after a long three hours of loading 301,000 files find that I’m still stuck with the screen flickering at the top after I hit “Play”. Which then freezes my pc and I have to use the power button and restart it. I have never even seen the character screen since I loaded the 16th’s hot mess. I love Guild wars and would love to play but sadly my daily wish hasn’t been granted. Please do better guys, I want to support you!!!
