KingOfHeaven.9530 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Same problem. GW2 Process can't kill from Task Manager (he's immortal...) Problem fixed - Running as administrator helped. Edited November 9, 2021 by KingOfHeaven.9530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrsa.4981 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Just chiming in, same issue. Launcher runs, game "runs" and I see it in the task bar, but I never leave my desktop/graphics never load. Audio loads so I can hear the char select music, and that's it. Only options were to log out & back into my PC, or reboot. Edited November 9, 2021 by Tyrsa.4981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gewaltverbrecher.5403 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Have they finally removed us from the game to help is quit cold turkey? 😄 Same as the above, only way to exit it is a forced reboot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrsa.4981 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Tried again with browser running in background in hopes I could at least alt-tab between but no good. Got task manager up though, which showed the game using fairly minimal resources, and "not responding" as its status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilgust.1206 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Same issue, no addons and running on DX9 settings since DX11 gave me rendering issues in Living Story. EDIT: Ran in Administrator solved the issue for me. However, I think it won't work for everyone given the responses above.

Keyoba.9075 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 When i run Guild wars 2, it will not show on screen and I only hear the background music. It’s only in the tab selection and you cannot exit from it. I’ve had to restart my pc every time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MALK.9754 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Same problem. No addons. This looks like a sound issue maybe: the game will launch just fine if the audio source is my HDMI monitor (via AMD driver) but 10/10 hangs without displaying the game window if the source is my Realtek audio driver. BTW for those who can't kill the process from task manager: if you launch the window and can't click it, alt tab to the list, arrow down to the process, press delete. Might save you the system restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanek.5983 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Anything in common (other than the patch) for people with the same problem? Operating system, graphics card, etc? It works for me, but enough people are reporting the issue that something is obviously going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrsa.4981 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Interestingly, after attempting to log in for a fourth time, it finally worked. Keep trying folks! Just... don't alt-tab after you get in. I did to post here, and the game then crashed and I sent the log to anet.

Naja.6791 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) If you are on windows 10 instead of ctrl+ tab do the "win + tab" then "new desktop" and here you can close gw2 via task manager Edited November 9, 2021 by Naja.6791 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
