Blindefender.9834 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 This has been happening to me the last week or two as well; one time the password had to be reentered too. I have checked/unchecked the save boxes. In fact, it is happening today too. It doesn't happen every time-just at random log ins. Nothing has changed with my that would cause this.

Tony.8659 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) For me I keep pressing the login button even though I have -autologin on my exe, never did this before and it would just launch the game.

If you read through the thread, you would see that the file is there, but it is some photo-something file when you open it. I know about hidden files, as I have used them for years; not sure why my local.dat would be hidden, and another file named local.dat would be in its place if no one else's is.

Because you have assigned your system to open .dat files with that program you mentioned (perhaps during the installation process of said program). To remove the file association, follow these steps: https://windows11tools.com/how-to-remove-or-reset-file-associations-in-windows-11/ In any case, the file association shouldn't matter. You should still be able to delete it. Edited August 9, 2022 by Ashantara.8731 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) I didn't assign anything to open .dat files or any other files. Regardless, I deleted the file, and it made no difference, which you should know. Plus, I'm not using Win11.

Usually, a program asks for file association on install, but apparently this one didn't and automatically applied the change. 2 hours ago, Inculpatus cedo.9234 said: Regardless, I deleted the file, and it made no difference It is recommended to perform these steps in the following order before restarting the game: Deleting the game cache Deleting the Local.dat Performing a client repair Restarting the game No guarantee this will solve the issue, but it's worth a try. 2 hours ago, Inculpatus cedo.9234 said: Plus, I'm not using Win11. Sorry then. There are numerous guides on how to change/reset a file association and how to display hidden files for other Windows systems as well. Also, since you only saw "Local" instead of "Local.dat", you need to activate the option "Show all file extensions" in Windows Explorer. P.S. May I ask if you have the game installed under Program Files or on the Desktop? Installing non-system related software under Program Files can lead to all sorts of unwanted issues, the same goes for the Desktop (placing shortcuts there is fine, but never install anything there).

OutOfMyMind.9613 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 What happens to me about 50% of the time on all 4 of my accounts is that the launcher halts with the cursor in the password field. All I have to do is click login to get it to go to play, so the password must have been saved. This is annoying because before the festival patch it would go all the way to the character select screen before halting. I do have save username, save password, & autoplay all checked.

You don't seem to know how to activate seeing file extensions or insisted in the past that installing GW2 on the Desktop was a good idea, which tells me that you are not very computer-savvy.

Wolfbabe.5480 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I learned many years ago write down all emails and passwords for every acct you have whether it be for games or bills or shopping. In this game I have 2 accts and 2 pieces of paper 1 for each acct showing display name email for the acct and password and phone number used as well as all characters on acct that way if I ever need them, I have them.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 If you don't change accounts when using the launcher, the password is usually saved. Once you start to put in the Account Name, the password field will light up with the six asterisks (which is your saved password); so, no need to re-type your password. Still, I wish they would fix this; it seems time-sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEAR.6309 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 There has been an intermittent issue since a patch last month where the launcher will sometimes not auto fill the login credentials from the last login, even when the appropriate boxes are checked. Closing the launcher and opening it again usually fixes this issue, with the Account Name and Password fields usually being auto filled correctly after 1 or 2 attempts when this bug occurs. The most recent patch however seems to have made this bug permanent, with the log in credentials not being auto filled correctly no matter how many times the launcher is closed and reopened.

Donari.5237 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 It remains intermittent for me. I just now logged in without having to retype the information. However, yesterday I had to type it each time. I did on the final attempt yesterday toggle off the Remember Me boxes and click them back on, so maybe that reset it for me.

Sticky.2653 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Yep. Having the same issue. This started after one of the updates in August. Have never had this issue prior. Windows 10. Even tried closing game deleting the Local.dat file and restarting GW2. This did not fix it. After reentering the UID and PW with the save boxes ticked, still get this issue.
