For about 3 weeks now I have been running like I am carrying something, for the first few days it would repair data archives and fix nothing visibly. It only happens on female paragons, (my main) and at first i just tried to ignore it, but it became tiresome.
Screenshots:


As you can see, both me and hayda are running like we are holding a bundle. It only happens on my machine, no one else can see it, and it doesnt happen if get online from a different computer. I don't want to have to reinstall, if anyone has had this problem could you help me out?

It's .dat corruption, I'm afraid. The "Repairing data archive" is the first symptom of this (it never seems to actually repair it) - unfortunately re-installation is the only cure.

Just delete gw.dat from your Guild Wars directory, replace it with the gw.dat that (presumably) comes on the EotN disk, then do an -image. This will be the quickest method, rather than -image'ing a whole new .dat from scratch.

Those weapons look a little heavy there, miss. Need me to take them off your hands?

Unfortunately, the only versions i didn't purchase online was prophecies and factions, so i'll have a little updating to do.

If you use the "-image" command line it will take you about 6 hours on DSL, maybe less if you have a faster connection... just do it overnight and you're all set.

Another way to fix this is to copy the .dat file from another computer.
