Instant Crash on Startup

So, I just recently got the game and downloaded the Path of Fire to dlc (specifically to ask for help on the forums)I downloaded the files for the game last night and tried launching it, the application pops up on my start bar & then instantly closes. There's no crash report that pops up, it just shows up and then immediately closes. Naturally, I took to reddit to attempt to find a fix. I've moved the files, given them full privileges, ran them as an admin , uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted the local.dat file, rebooted my computer three times, created the -repair shortcut and used it twice, I don't have any addons to create problems, etc.I'd really like to, you know, play the game I just bought, so any help would be /greatly/ appreciated.

Have you tried the -windowed Command Line Argument (used just as you did -repair)?Have you tried contacting the Tech CS Team for assistance via the 'Support' link above/below?

Welcome to Tyria, and good luck.

I'll try the windowed command line, and yeah I sent in a ticket

And thanks, hopefully I actually end up getting in, been looking at this game for awhile

Yup, got an update that was about 60 files and used the -windowed and the game launched and is running fine, thank you so much <3

Glad it worked out for you. Make sure to close your ticket by responding with, "I no longer need help", if you, in fact, no longer require assistance.

Good luck.

I have the same issue after the last patch. Neither "-repair" nor "-windowed" solved the issue.

Have you tried deleting d3d9.dll in your bin64 folder inside your guildwars 2 folder?

I did this, and it WORKED! But now can't use my mount add on. Is there anyone to get my game to run with the mount add on? Thanks.

EDIT: I just reinstalled my add ons and it works. Thanks.

Ok, deleting the d3d9.dll helped for me also, thnx!

(Strange that the patching occurs this crash)

Yep, removing arcdps removed the problem for me.
