Thank you

I had exactly the same problem and in the end I had to reinstall the game. Now everything is working perfectly again. I think the the problem was that the .dat file got corrupted during the update. I'm making regular backups of mine since Sunday. That way I won't need to reinstall when it hapen again - I can just drop the backup in my Guildwars folder and hopefully everything should be fine. Hope it helps you. Good luck
