Strathaniel.5093 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 When I go to start the game the download screen shows up but then closes. It then keeps repeating this over and over until i restart my pc. I've tried the deleting the cache in the temp folder didn't work. If I try to repair it, it will do the same thing. It started doing this today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepezel.2149 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just gonna mention, that if you're using ArcDPS, remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started doing this today. The same is happening to me. I'm running the 32 bit client (can't run the 64 bit on this system). It appears to be downloading a new Gw2.tmp, replacing the existing Gw2.exe, which then launches and immediately downloads a new Gw2.tmp, replaces the (just downloaded) Gw2.exe, and repeat ad infinitum. Cannot launch the game. I'm glad it's not just me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Could be that the 32-bit client won't work anymore. Might just have happened a bit early. 🤷♂️ (See News and Announcements) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raaahbin.7405 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 A month early would be a lot (which is why I suspect it's accidental rather than intentional). But yes - I can confirm a fresh 32-bit install has exactly the same looping failure, while a 64-bit install launches fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healix.5819 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The 32-bit client wasn't updated for the last build (117928), so when it goes to patch, it downloads the previous build (117585) thinking it's the current one, which causes an infinite loop. Note it'll never complete without another patch and is downloading ~30MB each time it restarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atros.9607 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Am using the 32-Bit client for some development and found myself stuck in a boot loop since Tuesday's patch. Needed the extra month to do some things so I am hoping this thread gets more traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raaahbin.7405 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 This now appears to be resolved, and the 32-bit client launches again... for the next few weeks, anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
