Hey community,
the last update crashed my game too. After click on the play button, the game does not launch. The only way to get out is to kill the game-process. One shorthand for all out there: Press "Win + R" then enter "taskkill /IM gw2-64.exe /F" and press enter. This kills the game the fast way.
There are no addons installed and all overlays disabled. I am playing on DX9 because of several game crashes in WvW. After adding the parameter -dx11 to the game launch, now the game starts without any issues and I can play.
Surely this fix only applies to people having a DX11-enabled graphics card.
Just wanted to mention that starting game in DX11-mode fixed the issue for me. How to add the parameter is explained earlier in this thread. If someone has trouble with this, reply to my message.
