Addons not loading #410

OrI3iT commented 4 months ago

Hi,

I have GW2Launcher set up with my "normal installation" being clean for when updates happen and the game crashes with addons and a GW2Launcher localization that is set up with all my addons. This works great and I've never had a problem on my desktop.

However when setting this up on my new laptop I've ran into an issue. The game boots up fine through GW2Launcher, but does not load any addons. I have the exact same setup that I have at home on my desktop and I have even while troubleshooting copied all the files from %appdata% and files like "addonLoader.dll", "dxgi.dll", "d3d11.dll" etc. over to my laptop. Meaning the installation and setup of GW2 and GW2Launcher should be identical, except for the OS on my laptop being W11 instead of W10.

I've ran out of things to try, reinstalled GW2, GW2Launcher, the addons and everything. So if you got any ideas of why this is happening I'd be extremely greatful.

If you copied that Gw2Launcher folder, note copying converts links to real files, so delete \1\Gw2.dat to have it re-linked on the next launch.

If you didn't copy the entire folder, you may have missed DLLs under bin64 or cef.

If \1\d3d11.dll exists, it's being loaded, assuming \1\Gw2-64.exe is being launched. If you originally used the addon manager, and only copied the files, re-install it.

Simplify. Download arcdps and place it in the \1\ folder. It should work. If it still doesn't show, delete the arcdps folder and try again (a problem with its settings can cause it to not appear).

After trying what you suggested, doing clean installs and more troubleshooting I'm convinced this is an Win11 issue. Probably has nothing to do with GW2Launcher. Thank you for your time anyway!
