Update -- May 16, 2018 [1][edit]

Graphics Improvements[edit]

  • Windowed Fullscreen now works on any monitor. It uses the monitor that the majority of the window is on.
  • Added the -lodfull command line argument back. This functions the exact same as it did prior to the May 9th update.
  • The game client now properly clamps itself to the monitor it is primarily in while in windowed mode.
    • Note: The client will perfectly clamp to the monitor when toggling from Windowed Fullscreen to Windowed mode.

Chat[edit]

  • Fix an issue with the new whisper ignore option that caused it to ignore whispers from friends sent from alternate characters of the same account.

Help & Support[edit]

  • Updated the URLs in the F10 menu.

Installer & Patching[edit]

  • Automatically request elevation to admin when trying to install or patch the game and it doesn't have the right permissions to do so.
    • Note: Requires the client to be updated to the new build before this change takes affect for any future updates.
    • The installer on www.guildwars.com will be updated to the new client.

Bug fixes[edit]

  • Local preferences will now always be saved on exit, fixing issues such as graphics options not persisting.
  • Fix a desync when the game is Alt+Tabbed or minimized, causing creatures to teleport after the game is restored.
  • Fix a client hang when restoring the client from being ALT+Tabbed or minimized for a long period of time.
  • The game will now have a 60fps max framerate while the game isn't "active". This means when the client doesn't have focus or isn't being rendered (minimized, Alt+Tabbed).
