TexMod not working? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Ok, the last two messages answer the remaining issues / questions.

Correct the shortcut by adding a space. Move the *.dat files into another folder. Click on the corrected shortcut and you should re-download everything. Once the download is complete, run GW without TexMod. You want to give the game a chance to get itself completely set-up without issues.

After that, just make sure to either look at the Game Updates page on GuildWars.com or start the game normally, exit and re-start with TexMod, to make sure you don't accidentally update the game while running mods.

Thanks MisterB & Friday for your assistance.

How to? When I start running GW then, there is (obviously) an error message.
To wich folder then, you mean?

Make sure TexMod and GW are not running.

Create a new folder, anywhere on your computer. Drag and drop the *.dat file(s) to the new folder you just created.

Fix the shortcut to have one space right after the ending qoutation mark and then -image. So the end of the Target line will appear as: " -image

Click Apply and OK.

Now just click on the corrected shortcut to get GW to re-download all of the data file(s).

It doesn't work -.- . When I start to run GW after moving the .dat file to another map, it says --> Unable to open archive file
Guild Wars is unable to access it's archive file

C:/ blabla , make sure that the file is not used by another program and is writeable.

~Liek, wtf?

Ok, I have no idea what to tell you at this point. Not sure if this is a GW or Windows Vista problem.

You should contact ArenaNet's tech support / customer service via the PlayNC website. I don't happen to have the link, but maybe someone else will come by and provide it.
