Crashes with new update

[Bornthisway.4609]

I am having crashes that say Intercepted unhandled exception in GW2 process. Game will terminate when this box is closed.

 

Anyone else/any fixes?

[cosyfiep.9081]

mine crashes when I hit ready, removed the -dx9 and can log in, but the game is visually unplayable for me.

It's happening to a lot of us.

Update: In my case, the issue was with ArcDPS. Deleting the corresponding ArcDPS dll fixed the crash.

Yes, please ensure you are not running third-party software if you start having crashes after an update.  ArenaNet does not support third-party software.

I don't use any 3rd party addons, DX9 crashes immediately before character select shows up.

Same for me, and I don't use any third-party software.  I can't log into the game by any means.  What's the solution? 

[Chaba.5410]

Just to be clear here, when the crash mentions "Intercepted unhandled exception in GW2 process" like the OP posted, usually that's what a crash while running arcdps looks like.

If you are crashing because you are using -dx9 and not arcdps, the error message is something like "Assertion: No valid case for switch variable 'grInterface'".

Dx9 command line crashes the game

[Miporin.3529]

Yes, -dx9 crashes immediately the game upon you press the start button.

The problem with DX11 is that i lose the full screen mode, is bugged even if i force the game to run in full screen mode.

At least fix DX11 before get rid of DX9.
