My problem may be caused by something else, but here it is:
I had downloaded and run the game normally after yesterday’s patch, but after attempting to install my new headset, the game started crashing on launch. I’ve tried uninstalling all of the headset drivers and detaching the headset from the computer, but the problem persists. I’m in the middle of re-installing at the moment. I’ve tried the -repair command line, -assetsrv command line, and the replacement gw2.exe fixes, but neither has worked.
The problem I am experiencing is that the launcher starts and shows that there’s no files to download and update for a moment, and then goes to the main launcher normally. I am able to log in normally as well. However, when I press the play button to launch the game, the game opens up to the full normal window size that I play at and immediately crashes. It crashes at the same spot each time.
I didn’t save the whole error log, but I sent the bug report, and here is the small section that I saved:
