aXa.1587 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I am trying to run a repair of Guild Wars 2. I have found the link to repair it, followed the instructions, but it doesn't seem to do much when I run it. It does not "begin the repairing your game client" or verify files. It seems to just launch the game. I think I am doing something wrong and could use some help figuring out what it is.The file name is ""H:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" –repair" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokomis.5076 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 that isn't a normal minus sign, is it? Looks like a dash here in the forum. Try it with a normal minus - sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it with a normal minus - sign.Thanks, yeah, I saw that it might be a dash instead of a normal minus sign. I tried both. Neither seemed to work.However, I tried a slightly different file, the GW2 64-bit one. "gw2-64.exe." I changed that and amended the -repair option to the end and it did the trick.

jojorne.2175 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 so it worked? awesome! anyway, here it goes if u still need it:save as .bat with the notepad in the same directory:START Gw2-64.exe -repairor create and edit the shortcut:"H:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -repairPS.: from what u posted:""H:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" –repair"there is two " extra, one at the start and another at the end, also the "–" before repair is not the same as "-" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuciusEsox.7645 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think the op did what I did cut and paste from google as changing to a proper minus sign did it for me as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamivan.6935 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The only shortcut I have is in the file, I found the target line everything I put in there is coming back invalid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamivan.6935 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I figured out the repair issue, I have ran it through three times it is better but map is still unusable, I ordered a new copy of GW2, since I have an account when I install it will I play from where I am at or will it make me start over, I have 10+ years which is why I ask.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Ordered a new copy of GW2? You mean you purchased another Serial Key?If so, contact the CS Team and submit a ticket for a refund for that purchase immediately. There is no need to purchase another Serial Key; you can download a new copy of the client, at no charge, anytime you desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamivan.6935 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I have a wave that comes up the screen, I have ran the client repair, checked display drivers, and performance in the game, downloaded another game client, game plays better, but map still has the wave, any suggestions that I haven't thought of.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Try rolling back to a previous display driver? Check your monitor/resolution/refresh rates?You can contact the Tech CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below and 'Submit a Ticket' for assistance.Good luck.

Nokomis.5076 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 If you use -verify instead of -repair does something else happen or does it start right into the game again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
