Selein.5237 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I am running Windows 10.A few weeks ago, for some reason my GW2 desktop icon became a blank piece of paper rather than the GW2 logo. A few days ago I finally got around to trying to fix it. I deleted the icon and went to the folder with GW2 and hit create desktop shortcut on the .exe file. When I went to start GW2 it decided it needed to redownload the whole game. Ok, that's stupid but whatever. Redownload the whole game I guess. Play for hours, 0 problems. The issue is, today I log in and it says it needs to redownload the whole game AGAIN. No idea what to do or why this is happening.https://imgur.com/EQQqPTc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Did you check your GW2 folder to see if the .dat file is there?Check your temp folders to see if it's downloaded there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selein.5237 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 I did; it was there. I figured it out: Deleting the icon from my desktop somehow deleted the executable file too so when I put a new icon on my desktop it started the launcher which then thought it needed to redownload the game since the .exe file was missing. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
