Hi sachia,

I would like for you to try repairing your Guild Wars 2 installation:

First,

1. Hold down the Windows button on the keyboard and hit the “R” key.
2. Paste in the following line:.C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2
3. Click “OK.”
4. Delete the local.dat file located here.

Next,

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.
