Tiviana.2650 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I am trying to quickly swap between accounts without having to remember and retype all the passwords and email everytime. I tried to use the info here https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments/multiple_account_swapping But i cant seem to get it to work, to be clear my game is on my SSD separate from my HDD. Is there a simple way to get the game to remember my accounts so i dont have to always have to retype everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healix.5819 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 GW2 stores your remembered email/password in Local.dat under %appdata%/Guild Wars 2/. You can copy this file and swap them around to have multiple accounts remembered. This is what the wiki is telling you to do. A better version of doing that is here: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/808072/#Comment_808072 The simplest method would be using a macro, assuming you're already using a device with macro support. For a program solution / if you also want to be able to play multiple accounts simultaneously, see Gw2Launcher, which supports both methods.

Ayrilana.1396 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I use GW2 launch buddy. On my older PC I had used the batch file method but I found this way to be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I've been using _GW2 Launcher_ for a while now. It's got a bunch of bells & whistles and handles separate parameters. https://github.com/Healix/Gw2Launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naxos.2503 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Isn't there a command line you can put in a launcher's shortcut that would essentially let you use one shortcut per account ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was the old "-email -password -nopatchui" combo that allowed you to login directly to character select, but that was disabled back in January. > @"Tiviana.2650" said: > I tried to go there but the page says not found. Also are these okay with anet? I dont want to use something that may get me banned. Outside links are currently broken on these forums, so you'll have to copy/paste it. Is it okay? It's against their policy to confirm, but the concept is allowed and the program itself isn't specifically against the rules. > @"Tiviana.2650" said: > I tried that wiki cmd line it wont work for me, keeps saying not found. The wiki is showing how to create a batch file, and must be modified to use your own paths. If you want to use this method, do it like this: This is assuming you're using Gw2-64.exe. If not, change every instance of Gw2-64 to Gw2 Open notepad. Copy and paste the following into notepad: if not exist "%appdata%\Guild Wars 2\Local.%1.dat" (copy "%appdata%\Guild Wars 2\Local.dat" "%appdata%\Guild Wars 2\Local.%1.dat") if exist "%appdata%\Guild Wars 2\Local.dat" (del "%appdata%\Guild Wars 2\Local.dat") mklink /H "%appdata%\Guild Wars 2\Local.dat" "%appdata%\Guild Wars 2\Local.%1.dat" start Gw2-64.exe %* Save it as Gw2-64.bat, in the same folder as Gw2-64.exe. You may need to save it on your desktop first, then move it to the folder if administrative privileges are required. Right click Gw2-64.bat and select create shortcut, then right click the newly create shortcut and select properties. Under the shortcut tab, select the target box and add a space at the end, then a 1, so it's like this: Target: "C:\Example\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.bat" 1 If you want additional parameters, you simply continue adding them on like this: Target: "C:\Example\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.bat" 1 -maploadinfo -autologin Click the change icon button and select Gw2-64.exe as the icon. OK out of the properties window. Copy and paste this shortcut to create another one, then right click this new one and select properties. Change the 1 in the target to a 2 for your second account. Continue doing this for however many accounts you want. Finally, move these shortcuts to wherever you want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
