Guild Wars 2

fwiw, I’ve had a broken GW2 for quite some time. It would show up in the dock but no GW2 window would ever appear.

Checking activity monitor shows it just hanging, not doing much.

This is how I fixed my issue:

1. Use Finder to browse to ~/Library/Application Support/ (can use CTRL-SHIFT-G shortcut)
2. Rename “Guild Wars 2” to “Guild Wars 2-backup”
3. Launch Guild Wars 2 and it works

I don’t know if this causes other side affects, but at least now it boots and is downloading heart of thrones. If you have to, you can always restore the backed up “Guild Wars 2” folder.

I found the solution for the black screen (at least for me). It seems that routers (Netgear/D-Link/Asus) cause issues when they have port scan and ddos protection enabled.

Same here. It started happening for me sometime in mid-December and I haven’t been able to play since.
