Guild Wars 2 Game Client has stopped working

Boad.5246 · December 16, 2017

Within the last several days I started getting the "Guild Wars 2 Game Client has stopped working" error every time I try to play on my Dell XPS 15 laptop. Previously there was no problem playing on the laptop. The crash occurs immediately after the character selection screen. I double click on a character, the splash screen for their zone comes up and after about 5-10 seconds I get the error message.

I have done the following in an attempt to solve the issue:

- ran "-repair" but no errors found

- confirmed my Windows 10 drivers were up to date

- confirmed my Dell drivers were up to date

- updated to the latest GeForce driver

- completely uninstalled and reinstalled GW2

- lowered the graphics setting down to best performance in GW2 options

- tried running Gw2-64.exe as Administrator

I'm running Windows 10 Home, i7, 16 gigs of RAM. Video card is a Nvidia GeForce 960M

Any ideas on how to fix this?

If the crash generates a Crash Report window, click 'Show Details', and post the first part (only) here on the forums. Someone may be able to offer assistance.

Or, you can contact the Tech CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below, and 'Submit a Ticket' for assistance.

Good luck.

Thank you Inculpatus. There is no Crash Report available but I'll submit a ticket.

Is this happening only on one character, have you tried logging into other characters?

You can always try and have the client force a logs:

Just change the work repair to log

_ie C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\gw2.exe” -log_

Are you sure the Command Line Argument, -log does what you think it does?

Its intent to to create a log if possible in it next play session's crash. I will admit the way I provided it is a bit crude.

Locate your Gw2.exe file.

Right-click on the file and select Create shortcut.

Rename this new shortcut to Guild Wars 2 Log.

Right-click on Guild Wars 2 Log and select Properties.

Locate the Target line and add –log to the end. (Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\gw2.exe” -log)

Click OK.

Double-clicking Guild Wars 2 Log will begin playing your game client. The game will attempt to create a log upon a crash.

To find that log please do the following:

Hold down the Windows button on the keyboard and hit the R key.

Paste in the following line: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2

Click “Ok.”

Locate the "Arenanet.log" (If present)

Boad.5246 · December 18, 2017

**TechAssist.4635**: To answer your earlier question, yes the crash occurs on all my characters.

I performed the logging procedure you described and although no "Arenanet.log" was created, I did find "Gw2.log" which provided the following:

This is sadly the wrong log. A crash log would look something like this.

I just repeated the process and again failed to find an ArenaNet.log file anywhere on the hard drive.

I have submitted a ticket and in addition to running Support's GameAdvisor.exe and sending them the results, they have now also requested the GW2.log and ArenaNet.log "if present."

If anyone has any other ideas I am all ears.

Did you end up figuring out a solution? I have the same issue now.

Andrew Grinner.7890 · January 13, 2018

the game for me was perfect until 4 days ago...crash after crash...unplayable

Dragonweaver.7951 · January 14, 2018

I am having the same issue here. The game client stopped working, the game closes . Crashes repeatedly today, fine yesterday. No error codes to give you. If you find a solution let me know.

Kidd.4061 · January 19, 2018

Hello there, had the same issue as you guys since the last patch ( 9 january i guess ? ).

I had arcdps installed on the computer into Guild wars 2 -> Bin64 . Simply delete all concerned files ( dl39 something / dl39 arcdps ) and it should work fine. arcdps doesnt seem to work with the new patch yet.

EDIT : assuming you're running arcdps or another dpsmeter. Other people had exactly the same issue, all had arcdps installed, and all stopped having the error when they deleted the files.

MrMojoRisin.7364 · January 19, 2018

after over a week of almost no problems, last night was pretty bad.

also, not sure if related or not, but yesterday i had a lot of the "picnic-blanket" terrain going on where the graphics file hasn't loaded correctly and it's all white and red splotches.
