Like the title says, when i double-clicked on the GW icon to log in, instead of saying loading so many %, it says "Repairing data archive......".

I checked Guildwiki to see if it is part of an update but none mentioned.

So, anyone else getting this same thing happening to them ? And anyone know exactly what is being repaired ?

Your GW.dat file has been corrupted somehow - could be your hard drive is starting to die.

Lots of people get it repeatedly. I haven't been able to find out why.

It could be anything. Needing to defrag your drive, drive corruption, bad download of an update, or anything else that affects the gw.dat file. If your virtual memory is low, you might need to clean out some space on your drive, then run a defrag. That might fix the problem.
