Not really, it is still beta and problem with the patcher/client is a typical beta thing. If it happened after launch things would be different though.

Isn't the game coming out within a few months? Hope it doesn't have a failed launch.

They push one bad client update and people are getting ready to call the game a fail? Gimme a break. They will fix it well in advance of the BWE.

13 pages, yikes... GL guys.

Yeah, but if you can´t fix a issue like this in a few months you should not make MMOs...

I seen the same issue in many betas, it usually gets fixed up pretty fast. Even AoC fixed it before launch.

Won't even let me install the new patcher without getting an error. Awesome stuff...

I strongly suggest that people just wait until tomorrow and then launch the .exe again.

i moved my files to my desktop its worked fine but after relaunching it again i got the error . i thought i fixed it but no :P

Juat fixed this morning, i did not download anything but again it downloaded  12GB of game -.-, still im happy.

Edit: crashed again...

Still crashing, have tried all the tips in this post.

I guess I would just have to download the entire game again tomorrow, since I can't even launch the launcher, hehe. I hope everyone is on broadband connections hehe.

ArenaNet is aware of the problem(which is on their side) and they are working on it,so no need to re download the entire client.

prollem just got fixed! thanx every1 and see you in beta!

OK, after trying numerous suggestions, the last files finally downloaded and I was able to launch the game client.  Nothing was working initially, so decided to apply the principles of chaos theory and just started changing shit up randomly.  What finally seems to have worked is flushing the DNS, creating a new shortcut called GW2 Repair, adding the -image switch to the file path, running as Administrator, setting compatibility to XP SP2, setting the launch shortcut (not the newly created one for the repeai) in exactly the same way, except for the -image switch, and finally, sacrificing a goat to the dark gods.  I don't how much of that was needed, but I'm banking on the goat being the key.

Incidentally, the client won't close properly and needs to be shut down via Task Manager, but at least it seems to be running and it recognized my login creds.  Also, don't use the Repair shortcut to try and launch the client. 

Here's hoping this gets straightened out for everyone by Friday.

just updated and worked !  ,i was having crash problems for 2 days :D

Yep working for me too! Downloading 200K files as we speak.

Yep. The on again off again relationship continues to keep us guessing... but tonight is ours.

It is quite hilarious watching everyone on multiple forums freak out at the crashing client. I mean, this isn't a beta or anything, right? They couldnt't be testing hardware and network setups at a time like this, eh?

People need to calm down and relax. This is a beta. How are you guys gonna react if a bug pops up and you can't play at all during the weekend? It happened during the first one, and it could happen here. I almost want it to happen. The forums would be blowing up even worse during the first BWE.

I bet they will cancel their pre-orders and tell us that the game is too buggy !

Are you people serious? People freak out b/c they are afraid they won't be able to play bWE. Have some empathy or is it too much to ask from a human being.

People read this i hope it helps.

1- remove all your registry of guildwars i recomend downloading Winutilities and use registry search, and search the name Guildwars and remove it all.
