eMKay.4028 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 HelloI have rather big issue with the Gw2-64.000 file in game folder. I wanted to move the game to my SSD drive, to make it load faster however it left behind a Guild Wars 2 folder with the discussed file. It cannot be deleted, even as administrator, I cannot change the owenrship of it. It became a trash file that is being left behind wherever I install GW2. Today, after experiencing serious drops in FPS I decided to move the game back to HDD and again, my SSD is tainted with this file and I cannot install the game in the previous folder due to that 'Gw2-64.000' file. Can anyone have any solution to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I don't have such a file. Never seen anyone ever mention said file. Do/did you use any 3rd-party programs with GW2?You can always contact the CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below and 'Submit a Ticket' for assistance.Good luck.

Jwake.7013 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Apparently this is the Gw2-64.exe file that somehow got corrupted after an update. You still could be able to delete it though, not sure what would be preventing you. Possibly try renaming it to the correct file type and see if you can then.

mercury ranique.2170 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The .000 file is likely not related to gw2. The continuous existence is due to an anomaly either in the OS or in a virus scanner. First off. It is not harmfull. I would recommend to start the computer in safe mode and remove the file.

Healix.5819 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Windows should have given a reason why it failed to delete the file. Permission, in use, hardware failure, etc.If this happened after running GW2, maybe the game is still open, but not actually visible. This would also prevent you from launching another instance of GW2. In this case, Windows would say the file is in use. Press ctrl+shift+esc to open the task manager, check the processes and force quit GW2.You can try opening a command prompt (cmd.exe) as an administrator, then deleting (del "c:...\Gw2-64.000") the file. Also try booting into safe mode, or the command prompt.Security software can cause this problem, where anti-virus for example will quarantine the file, then block all access to it.It shouldn't matter that it's in the folder. By default, it's Gw2.tmp, which is created when you start the launcher.@Inculpatus cedo.9234 said:I don't have such a file. Never seen anyone ever mention said file. Gw2.### is the alternative to Gw2.tmp, which is the temp file used to update Gw2.exe. The number increments as it fails to create the file.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ahh. A google search did not turn up any other mention of this particular file name, other than this thread. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMKay.4028 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thx guys for help - deleted these files in the safe mode, however they get created when I run GW2 for the 1st time after installation. Peculiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
