Guild Wars 2

The new patch hasn’t changed anything it’s still not possible to log into game.

From the startup screen when I hit play my screen flashes and GW2 just crashes without any sort of error message or crash report.

I have tried following a previous possible workaround found at https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Guild-Wars-2-Won-t-Start-Screen-flickers/first#post914356 but it’s not worked for me. Can anyone help it’s getting very frustrating.

Hi Jixer – I would recommend navigating to Documents\Guild Wars 2 and deleting the local.dat file. Once you’ve done this, try a repair of the Guild Wars 2 client:

1. Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 installation folder.

2. Right-click on “GW2.exe” and select “Create Shortcut.”

3. Rename this shortcut to “Guild Wars 2 Repair.”

4. Right-click on this shortcut and select “Properties.”

5. Edit the “Target” line to include -repair at the end.

Note: Please make sure -repair is outside of the quotes

Correctly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe” -repair
Incorrectly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe -repair”

6. Once completed, click “Ok” to save your changes.

If you get an error trying to save, your target line may not have the correct format. Please try step 5 again.

7. Double click “Guild Wars 2 Repair” to start the repair process.

Once completed, please try starting Guild Wars 2 again.

With regards to when dailies and dungeons reset, they reset an hour earlier because of DST changes. That is, stuff reset for me at 7 P.M. local time, but now stuff resets at 6 P.M. local time. I learned this the hard way when I missed out on doing my dailies yesterday.

Nope the servers reset at the same time, which is linked to UTC (or mistakenly GMT as it is the same within microseconds.)

What has happened is that various countries have changed DST so you are now resetting your body an hour earlier but the servers still reset at the same time.

Everybody (that’s everybody including you) has to accept the EULA before playing, that means you accept the terms and conditions within. Personally I did not read all of the EULA but then if I happen to get a ban for not following that would be my own fault.

Ignorance is not a defence.
