did these crashes happen after the most recent client/patch update? seems like you may need to verify file integrity of the install or re-install the whole game (wipe/purge/uninstall completely first) due to broken/corrupted assets.

Thanks a lot for the help. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game now.

Now, it crashes immediately after the loading screen, I only get to see like 2 seconds of the game. Also, the game and the report error prompt now close instantly, making it impossible to copy the error details.

I'll run the repair now, but given that I'm repairing a fresh installation, my hopes aren't high

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

Guild Wars 2 often does not play well in 'Program Files'.
You can try moving to another place, such as /Games or /Desktop, etc.You can try completely removing/reinstalling your Nvidia drivers, as well.

Good luck.

[stolzi.3471]

Well, the client repair stops responding after around a minute and crashes too, so no luck with repairing.

I've been playing with it in Program Files for over 8 years - baffles me that this can be a problem. I'll reinstall again in a different folder then, I guess..

if it's a new install now then we can isolate the problem from your GW2 install/files. the issue is more likely to be OS/environment related

is gw2 the only game that crashes? have you tried running another d3d9/directx9 game? have you done any changes to your system in the past few days? driver update? windows update? any software/service or application you recently installed (especially if related to system or hardware)?

no need to do this you can install in program files just fine otherwise windows games and applications wouldn't default to it as the install dir. it is good practise to install elsewhere though but not a requirement

---

one thing you can try is opening %APPDATA%\Guild Wars 2\GFXSettings.Gw2-64.exe.xml on your file explorer with a text editor

find the setting<OPTION Name="screenMode" Registered="True" Type="Enum" Value=" ">if value is set as "fullscreen" change it to "windowed" or "windowed_fullscreen"then save

try running gw2 again. see if running on a window or borderless would not crash.

[stolzi.3471]

Everything else is working fine and I didn't make any changes to my soft- or hardware in the last weeks.The game is set to windowed_fullscreen.

I managed to get a few minutes of gameplay now, before it crashed again.

I just don't get how this can happen out of nowhere....

exactly! it shouldn't just happen out of nowhere. if left alone with absolutely no changes (hardware or software), any computer and it's programs, in theory, will run and perform the same way now and 10 years later.

i honestly can't exactly point out your issue based on every information you have provided so far, my only theory is that the game for some reason does not run as intended and is having issues with it's assets (game files) as seen with texture failed in your most recent crash log. either there's a change in your windows environment that corrupts/prevents it from being accessed properly (or maybe a hardware/driver issue) or your last update prior to your recent re-install (and the re-install itself) keeps getting corrupted somehow for some reason (corrupted downloads due to bad internet or harddisk/ssd going bad?)

---

what i would've done if i was in your shoes and had the same issue is:

1. get a spare hard drive and install a fresh copy of windows on that
2. determine if running gw2 there -vs- running it in your current drive/os - all under the same machine/hardware - still produces the same results (crashing momentarily after starting the game)
3. copying the gw2 (copy not download) to another computer and running it

this isn't always viable and i wouldn't expect you to do that. but it's a way to completely rule out if it's the game or your windows or your hardware that's causing the issues.

at this point my advise is to file a support ticket and see if customer support can help you with your issue. https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us
