Possible fix for blackscreen bug after nov 09 patch


GODh.3892

Recommended Posts

After the november 9 patch i was unable to start the game (stuck at a black screen). Even the -windowed commandline switch did not work for me (i could see some characters, so it did something, but i was unable to click anything or use the keyboard, so i was still stuck).

But i have found something that works for me to start the game (for me in fullscreen mode)... hopefully it will help you too.

I only tested it with the 64 bit version of gw2!

The executable of the 64 bit version of gw2 is gw2-64.exe. There is also a file called gw2-64.tmp (0 bytes).

When i delete the TMP file then i am able to start the game like i was able to do before the update... so far i tested it with 5 accounts in total 10+ times. It failed once, but now the game closed instead of getting stuck at a black screen.

Again, this seems to work for me... hopefully some people can test it to see if it works for them too (please post the results here, ty) 🥰

Downside: you need to do this every time when you want to start the game (as a new TMP file will be created)!
