Re: [Updated 03/09] PC - GW/GW2 Not Working After Update

Hello, I just bought the game on sale and have the same issue as c4ad4ver - when launching the game through EA App only the splash screen appears for a few seconds then dissapears with no errors.

I tried reinstalling the game, repairing, installing all possible VCRedist packages (2012,2013,2015 both x86 and x64), installing the EAAntiCheatInstaller, installing the directx from _installer folder, removing CryptBase.dll, launching the EA app as admin, launching the game exe as admin, deleting files from %temp and EALicense folders, using FrostyFix someone mentioned in other thread - absolutely nothing works.

    My last post on this topic was taken down, if you aren’t able to open the game, and instead you’re game tries to load and then closed immediately, and you’ve checked ti delete the cryptbase.dll along with environmental variables, THE FIX IS RESETTING YOUR COMPUTER BUT KEEP YOUR FILES BUT APPS WILL BE DELETED AND YOUR PC IS GOING TO GO BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE, me and a friend did this as I literally tried everything and it was the only thing that worked, it may seem like a hassle but it’s not too bad, and it worked.
