Got a new computer bought a hard copy of the game. Keep getting this error message that says “Unable to Open Archive File: Guild Wars 2 is unable to access its archive file local.dat. Please verify that this file is accessible and writeable, and that no other problem is currently using it.”
What do i do?
Hi Puma Pompom – You will want to make sure you have your “Documents” folder in its’ default location. So if you have moved it to a different drive, you will encounter this error. If this is not the case, then this could be a permissions based issue and you will either need to launch Gw2setup.exe as an Administrator or try disabling your User Account Control to see if this resolves the issue for you.
