Microsoft Windows 10 Creative update may make Guild Wars 2 not start

Narrative Lead Bobby Stein might have a fix!

Some Players of Guild Wars 2 are dealing with a wave of the Windows 10 Creative update breaking their ability to play. Luckily, GW2 Narrative Lead Bobby Stein has unofficial fix that may help.

Stein wrote:

Finally, I did the following which seemed to work:

Start Menu > Settings > Gaming

Game Bar: Turned off Record Game Clips, unchecked Show Game Bar when I play full screen games Microsoft has verified

Game DVR: Turned off Background Recording

Game Mode: Turned off Game Mode

BTW, this isn’t an “official” support response. This is just what worked for me once I got the Windows 10 Creator’s Update and GW2 kept failing to launch.

Guild Wars 2 updates gem store Interface

Buying Guild Wars 2′s cash shop shinnies just got a bit more user friendly with the update to the game’s gem store that was released in today’s patch.

The updated store features improvements to previewing items before purchase and allows players to see what each item looks like on their current character individually before deciding to buy.

GuildWars2.com Blog posted the following features:

Faster interface, for a smooth and speedy experience.

Enhanced search function, making it easier to locate the bar and search within categories.

Improved categories and sorting—we’ve reorganized our shelves! Items will appear in more than one category if applicable, so you won’t have to guess. We’ve also added special event categories to help you find all the items related to ongoing festivals.

Expanded preview options! Now you can preview gliders, weapons, finishers, mail carriers, and miniatures before you buy them.

Better package information, to let you individually examine the items bundled into most packs.

Guild Wars Patch brings love to PVP

New Heart of the Mists, Automatic PVP Tournaments and PVP Balance

Fans of Guild Wars 2′s Player verses Player game type are the main beneficiaries of the games patch yesterday. While some PvE elements are tucked in, PVP got the lion’s share of attention.

New PVP Lobby

The most accessible part of this patch for players that do not PVP often is the new version of “The Heart of the Mists”. The new version has most feature of the old but adds a skirmish courtyard, a jumping puzzle, a VIP area and a few Easter eggs.

Automated Tournaments

Also with this patch come server generated tournaments. Each one requires a a full team of players and grants decent returns for winning events. The smaller tournaments lead into qualifying to grander ones provided the participants win enough to qualify.

Hall of the Mists and other map changes

Hall of the Mists is the new PVP map added with this release. As ArenaNet stated in their press release, “Get to know your enemy personally in this new map designed for a 2 vs. 2 team death match.”

The ‘Courtyard’ PVP map was given a new mechanic where a player holds an orb and grants their team more points the closer that player is to the central alter. The catch is that a the orb slowly harms the player and any player killed in possesion of the orb does not resurrect.

Hero Balance

The changes to Hero Balance affected mostly the player vs player game type and were generally aimed at making support build more viable.

“The Head of the Snake” Living World Update delayed by Seattle Snow Storm

1 to 4 inches of snow was all it took to slow the arrival of ArenaNet latest install of the living story. To people in the United State’s Midwest and parts of Europe  1 to 4 inches (2.5 to 10cm) may seem like a trifle, but in the the Seattle Metro Area that Anet is based, that was a year’s worth of snow fall all at once.

More then 194,000 customers were without of power Puget Sound Energy, Arenanet’s power utility, posted on their website. While power had been restored to most customers, the outage would have left the Studio without power or staff for a good portion of Monday (and likely hampered prep work.)
