This happened to me as well just now! Worst part is, as I have completed LS before, I just decided to jump to the next section of the journal, but I can’t even finish the Mystery Cave story step because it’s a similar bug there where I cannot interact with the wall with the divine torch.
I’m sorry this isn’t really a proper bug, but I couldn’t find a more appropriate place to post.
After downloading today’s patch, my screen lights up like I’ve dyed everything in celestial dye whenever I’m in an enclosed area on the map, like caves and hideouts. I can’t tell what’s brought about this change, but I really hope the patch just changed a setting that might be causing this, as I currently only have access to a rMBP from late 2013 and can’t do much if my graphics card is failing me.
I’ve attached a picture of the situation hoping someone has encountered this before. Any suggestions would be welcome!
I keep crashing every time I try to do the Dragon’s Stand meta. A telltale sign that a crash is imminent is that every player with a Legendary item leaving any sort of trail, leave a trail of single-coloured squares that change colour as it fades instead. I crash within five minutes after seeing that.
Same here. Never crashed before in-game, despite being on a Mac Beta client, until today that is, where I’ve crashed twice. It’s not pretty and I was in an organised DS event. Mildly infuriating.
Edit: We’re talking about white screen of death. No other option than force quitting GW2 and then restarting rMBP. Happened once during story and once during DS. Excellent way of making me go to bed though.
I tried the repair tool too on my existing account and game files. It took hours to get it done! I let it work through the night and I woke up to find the Mac Client waiting for me. Logging in, I experienced the same problem as Mitha with characters moving at ultra-speed. This has happened to me before in the menu, but this time it continued in-game for every character, item and even the loading circle. Anything with an animation was going batkitten, but turning my computer on/off seems to have fixed things and right now I will tentatively say everything with my GW2 is working, except that I have a few more grey hairs.
PS. I did not know Anet was so fond of batkittens. Love it.
Update: I tried running the client again and I’m back with insane speed problems, but I think another restart might fix it. However, this is getting annoying and I hope it’s fixed before HoT is released.
I just now experienced the same problem on my 13-inch Macbook Pro Retina from late 2013, running OS X 10.10.4. No client window pops up and I have to force quit to remove the GW2 icon from my dock.
Thing is, I don’t really know how to start troubleshooting because I logged in for the daily login reward today right when it reset, and absolutely nothing on my computer has changed between then and now. I have experienced similar client problems before, but restarting my computer solved them just fine.
I’m not very computer savvy, so if anyone could at least confirm whether the problem is with my computer or the GW2 client, I would be really grateful.
