Guild Wars 2

Ok I found a fix…. It was my MSI Afterburner onscreen messages (fps, temps, etc.). Closed the programm, now it works.

All of a sudden it starts now, almost….

I hear the music, I see my cursor (hand) but it looks like the client crashed, complete black screen. When I look at the taskmanager, it says gw2 process stopped working.

EDIT: now it doesnt start anymore, this is random as kitten. I would like to get some official help here, ticket is already out…

thats weird. try running as admin.

I tried that, doesnt work.

No fix for this? I played GW2 back in release day, now I reinstalled it and this error occurs… it was fresh clean install..

Try deleting the local.dat file located in the user documents.

Try moving the game to the root directory of the drive instead of inside the Program Files directory, this might alleviate any read/write protection your computer decides to put on the Program Files directory.

Usually a memory error like that means something is wonky with your RAM. I found I had a stick slowly going bad. Guild Wars 2 was the first thing to notice it, then Firefox was crashing randomly and I would eventually get blue screens. I tested the RAM and it was alright according to memtest. However, once I was able to narrow down which stick was bad by using a single stick of RAM, I was able to replace it and haven’t had problems since.

I tried to delete the local.dat and launched the launcher again. downloaded ~2gigs (dat file was 40mb?!). Still the same error. I never had any issues with RAM or any bluescreens. So I wont check RAM, obviously the client is the issue, not my hardware.
