Right click on your gw2 shortcut, click Properties, then under Target put a space then type -windowed ,Apply, then go ahead and use your shortcut. This forces it into windowed mode (minimized) from which you can click on the fullscreen symbol on the top right. thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxyp.2495 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) The FIX for ME was running the compatibility troubleshooter - right click on the Gw2-64.exe-> compatibility tab->Run compatibility troubleshooter. It sets the game to Windows 8 compatibility mode and no full screen optimization. Windows 10 64bit Nvidia GPU. Before this I tested everything - deleted bin64 folder, deleted gw2 folder in AppData/Roaming, running Repair, changed nvidia drivers to the latest - no luck 😞 Running the game in windowed mode but after resizing the game freezes. Strange thing is I was playing the whole day after the patch without problem then logged off for sleep and when I wake up the problem was here. My suspicions are this have something to do with Windows Update - there were some Windows Updates AFTER the GW2 patch.

Sarte.7158 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) they had two days to fix it and nothing.... not something you would expect from major studio but then again maybe Anet isnt one anymore , who knows why they cant do stuff right these days. You can just imagine expansion mayhem if this is any indicator of the future Edited November 11, 2021 by Sarte.7158 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Anet should really fix this so we can run the game with Game Mode ON. I have the same problem since yesterday, and turning Game Mode OFF allowed me to launch the game today. I've only tried this once though. Yesterday I had to reboot the computer twice before the game managed to launch, and that was with Game Mode ON, so I'm thinking turning it off might just be a fluke and the game would have launched anyway that time. It's a bigger issue this. No word from Anet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogus.6405 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I used GW2 Launcher and after it updated game won't start. I can log in but the launcher only plays music and game is running on taskbar. I can't even close the game or anything. It stops task manager to work. The update did something to GW2 and I can't play. Please fix. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstrenjer.5130 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) I do not think that the problem is in Windows Update, many have not downloaded the update. Window I did not update my windows, and everything works like a clock before exit. This patch I and the game worked great. Like many other players.I found the solution to this problem. But I would like it to be officially, and did not solve the players this problem for yourself.

Daysleeper.5769 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Compatibility mode worked for me, win64. Maximize on properties didnt work. Havent tried appdata and cache yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstrenjer.5130 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 It was possible to do easier, return the old stable patch back. While players played, they would eliminate problems with a new patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlinus.7485 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Looking at the below comments I used a little workaround to get back in. Find the exe file create a shortcut open properties and go to the path add -windowed at the end of the path name This forces the game to open in windowed mode which got me back in.

GODh.3892 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) The problem is caused by the latest patch... Many players have the same launcher issues as you (there are many posts about it). Anet is working on a fix (but there is hardly any communication with the players about it). For some people starting the game in windowed mode is a fix, but for me that doesnt work (i cant click anyhing). For the rest, all we can do is wait for the fix.
