I don’t see Coherent running with the launcher up or off. Though, My problem is that I don’t see the Log In button. Not sure if it applies to me. But moving the Gw2 folder and creating a shortcut didn’t work for me either, nor did restarting my PC. I just wanna uninstall the game and re-do it but I’m worried now since people can’t even install the game.
I am having this same problem with my GW2 launcher. Upon opening the launcher it freezes without loading all of the usual information and buttons that are usually on the launcher ui. After rebooting my computer I get the regular launcher again which starts the pre-patch then it says initializing before closing the launcher and reopening another that instantly freezes with the progress bar at 100% and no Login button. I tried the -repair and admin mode shortcuts suggested previously with and without antivirus software and so far I haven’t made any progress towards patching the game.
