Since the Nightfall preview event . . my GW started to delete itself from 2GBish to a few MBs, yes it was once and i got over it, but then again it happened once again, i repatched the whole firggin thing again and then it happened again, conviniently one day after the other, which is pissing me off . .
So if anyone knows how to acctually fix this reply please =]]
Gw.dat

you can use the switch command of
Gw.exe -repair
This will completly scan and reload the entire 2.7 GB GW.dat file to your HD.
Once you do this Archive it someplace. I keep a copy on my server if it gets corupted I just copy it back over manually over the LAN. Saves a ton of time reloading stuff...
If there is a significant update you need to do this again to update your archive.
I ended up making a shortcut on my desktop to use this switch whenI needed too. Then I just do it overnight and prob solved... it has not happened ina long time though. I still think it was related to a nasty Virus I had in a rootkit from another game... ever since I reloaded everything after a format it has not happened...
good luck.
