Awesome! Thank you! I'll have to give it a try.

@ArmoredVehicle.2849 Is there an easy way to setup your custom version through Lutris?

https://flightlessmango.com/games/9692/logs/817 It looks like you're looking up Guildwars 2 on FlightlessMango instead of Guild Wars 2, which has a few benchmarks. I did a quick run around in Lion's Arch as well to test Esync vs Fsync on my machine and got better performance using Esync, oddly. Settings are all max, except the character model limit is set to low, and I run it at 3440x1440 resolution. The reason I set that to low is because the game is heavily CPU bound and does not utilize multi-threading much due to being a DX9 title. DXVK spreads that across all of my cores, but it can only do so much as the Windows version essentially uses one core; I really wish they'd update to DX12 or Vulkan. I mean look at the performance improvement D912pxy brings to the table. Changing the other settings doesn't impact my performance much as they mostly hit the GPU, which is barely being used, so I leave everything else on max. If I'm not in a CPU bound scenario, I'll easily see 140+ FPS. I installed the game through the Lutris install script and I've tried using GloriousEggroll's Custom Proton, but it won't launch from Lutris for some reason when I select that as the runner. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This was it! Thank you so very much. Removed the update, rebooted, and voila, it opened right up. Also, no I'm not using any addons; it was a clean install.

Thank you for the responses! Below is the first part of the Crash Log. I'm in the process of re-installing the game entirely to see if this helps, and I'll definitely try the winsock reset after that.

I recently installed Guild Wars 2 on a new computer and it fails to launch after hitting play from the launcher. The executable itself launches, I hear the menu screen music, and my cursor changes, but I just see my desktop, not the game. If I open task manager, the application state's it's not responding and I'll have to force end the task to close it. I tried adding the -windowed flag to the shortcut and that actually provided a white box instead of just my desktop plus a crash log, which I submitted. When I add the -repair flag to the shortcut, it "repairs" the game, but it does the same thing. I found a post from a few years ago on the forum with a similar issue and I tried following those steps, which were to delete the local.dat file in AppData, repair the game as an admin, and then run the game as admin, but this produced the same result.
