Game crash -> DLing whole GW.dat again

Hey,

When I can back from dinner and clicked on Guild Wars (I had guildwars opened already, but went to another program so GW was in the background), but didnt show up.
I shut down it with ctrl + alt + del.
Then I opened GW again..
Repairing data archive came.
After that I had to download like 150mb.
Then, I do the -img command and I have to download 120000 files, which is around 4gb.
Gg with 200kb/sec

What could have happened? o.O

Thanks,

Read sticky at top of page, lots of info on the .dat file corruption and the such.

Thanks, I've been looking for it but I cant find it. Can you please give me the link?

Man, they are the stickies at the top of this forum. Just read through them. No glitch goes fixed without research.

My guess would be that GW was downloading something in the background when you ctrl-alt-del'd. Since that doesn't close GW "normally", you wound up corrupting something.

Next time, close GW with the little X in the corner.

I would have done that, ofcourse. But like I said, GW didnt show up when I clicked on it, and yes, I waited a min.
