How to activate the advanced settings on GW2 Launcher?

[JoshuaReneDalley]

When comparing my GW2 launcher to my colleagues, it seems they are getting more settings / customization.

Here is a simple view of what I get:

Here is what they are getting:

Also, I saw in another post you can force Arc_DPS to be localize to a single account instead of being grabbed by all accounts. Where is the full localization setting?

On the top left where it says "General" - one screenshot has "General" selected while the other has "Launching" selected. Click "Launching" if you want to see that tab.

Localized execution is under "Guild Wars 2" in the screenshot, then "Management" under that. Enable localized execution and set it to full (default). If you don't want accounts to include addons that are in the main GW2 folder by default, select to exclude addons. OK out of the settings. Launch the account you want Arc on, then open the folder where GW2 (Gw2-64.exe) is located and you should see a Gw2Launcher folder. Under the Gw2Launcher folder is a # folder for the account. In that # folder is where you place d3d11.dll. Note the # folders are mirrors of the entire GW2 folder - people always get confused by this since it'll show the folder as being 60+GB, but those files don't actually take up space.

To get what to work? If you enable localized execution set to full, each account is given its own GW2 folder, allowing each account to have different addons.

• If you wanted arc only on the regular client, you'd need to enable localized execution with the option to exclude addons.

• If you wanted arc on all accounts, you don't need to do anything if it's just arc (as d3d11.dll), whereas if it's under the addons folder, you need to set localized execution set to full without excluding addons.

i want arcdps when i launch gw2 client alone, and only in main when im using launcher with my 3 accounts i have the 3 separate folders, and only arcdps files on 1, but it appears on all 3 (even though 2 and 3 dont have files in separate mirror folder) i deleted main gw2 folder arcdps files, and left them at 1, but it doesnt show up

if i leave them in main folder it appears on all 3

please help

Your screenshot has localized execution set to binaries, which gives each account its own bin64 folder. Arc would still be loaded, since it's in the main folder. You need to set it to full.
