Guild Wars 2

This stopped the glitch for me and it seems to be saving my settings for the last few logins.

Lady Elyssa.2469:

I think I may have found a way to get this to work and keep the settings within the options. At least it has worked for a few repeated logins for me just now.

1. Browse to your C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2
2. Right-Click and select Properites on the GFXSettings.Gw2.exe (32-bit client) or GFXSettings.Gw2-64.exe (64-bit client) and make sure the Read-Only attribute is NOT set and Click OK.
3. Start GW2 and login, set your preference in the Options, close the Options window and re-open.
4. Use ALT + TAB to switch back to your Explorer window and make sure the GFXSettings file for your client version has not had the Read Only attribute set again.
5. Close the Client and then restart and your settings should have persisted.

If this still fails repeat steps 1-4 but at Step 5, try logging out then immediately log back in, recheck the Read Only attribute is not selected on the GFXSettings file and then you should be able to close the Client without losing the settings.

I hope that helps both the Players and Devs alike and for greater visibility I have also put a post up on Reddit here:

I’ve been noticing this for the past few weeks. If you’re a Herald and you have Upkeeps active from Facets, then enter the water, and exit the water. Next time you try to activate your Facet, it gets deactivated within 1-2 seconds by itself, and will continue to be deactivated whenever you try to activate it.

Seems to be some sort of Enter-Water bug where when you enter the water, it deactivates all Herald skills since Herald isn’t used underwater. But then when you come out of the water, and Herald is active again, it still remembers the water, and keeps deactivating your Facets within 1-2 seconds of turning them on.

Switching to another Legend and then switching back seems to reset Herald Upkeeps and allows Facets to stay on again.

So it seems like you can only get mastery points on your first run through to 80, and alts don’t get it from those achievements, as per the Dev.

It’s evidently RNG, someone else in my guild didn’t get it either. You have to do it again.

Yep, the speed buff isn’t working.

Anyone else do the entire Auric Basin MetaMap event from 1 Octovine to the killing of the next Octovine (with 200% participation) and didn’t receive the Gold Backpack Frame for the collection Warmaster’s Pack – Ascended.
