The Guide for GWx2

Addendum to the guide:

Requirements:
2 valid, previously established, Guild Wars accounts (any campaign)

Please note that you should have previously established two accounts with Anet. Using existing accounts is easier than trying to do everything for the second account at once (Anet and GWx2).

Also, on an unrelated note, this message might also be of use in the guide: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...55&postcount=9

Worked once, crashed and can't be used again. This tool does something irreversible.

I do not advise anyone using this until the promoters’ detail how it can be cleaned off a PC when it fails to work.

Usually just deleteing the programs work. Are you working under administators when trying to delete it. Never had a problem myself using it or deleting it. And niether has a lot of others.

I tried this but i got an IO ERROR 32
im runnin vista 64

Ok theres a few things to try.(Boy we need to do a GWx2 fixit thread lol)

1. Did you minimize GW to window mode before running GWx2?
2. Try moving 1 folder out of the program files folder to your desktop then back into the program files folder.(if number 1 didnt work) Then rerun the setup of GWx2 making sure GW is in windowed when you shut it down.

Worked fine before the update of this week after that i cant seem to get it running anymore.
I updated both folders ofcourse, but no matter what i do ( remove the program, move the secondary GW folder to desktop and back, or even delete the whole secondary folder and make it new ) i can't make it work anymore.

I keep getting also that error IO Error 32

Did you minimize GW to window mode. before starting GWx2.

Got the I/O 32 error as well, but it fixed itself. Here's what I did:

Installed GWx2, did the config, etc.

Started my primary client, made it in Windowed Mode, and closed it.
Configured GWx2 again
Started it, and hit "yes" when it asked me to start. Both clients started.

Which is what Ive been telling them to do

Thank you so much, great guide and worked after my first attempt.

I'll make sure to follow what you said above for the next update.

Np glad It helped.

thank you very much for taking the time to write this guide.


I attempted to do this last year sometime, got jumbled, and forgot about it.

Cant wait to get this going tonight..

I am getting this Mani as I set it up in compatilty settings it is in my programs not documents like yours.

Fixed picture for you. Katsumi
Edit 2: K, maybe I didn't...lol. Katsumi
Edit 3: I managed to fix it (too big to display anyway - kept as a link.) Snograt
Edit 4: Ok, freeimagehosting are crap - forget it. Snograt

Age - you were nearly there - you need a space then -setup
Copy and paste that lot.


Oh, and one more thing: I/O Error 32 can also happen if you run GWx2 when Guild Wars is already running. Fairly obvious, but you never know

The only thing now is the parameters I set it up as Snograt said and it worked and this came up.

You dont need anything set for parameters. Those are only if you want to add the tags such as passwords and login names and those things.

Heh, I should have mentioned that

The -setup switch is only necessary (as Mani said) when you want to change certain details, like if you move the location of either gw.exe or you need to add -password, -dx8, -noshaders or any of the many other switches.

That freeimagehosting.net seems to be very patchy - I would suggest you give http://www.imageshack.us/ a try.

This is what I get when I do the when I try to run it or when I run the game invalid path.I would go back image shack as soon as I get my origianal account back where my siggie is being hosted.It has all the rest of my images as well.

This is what I get when I run 2 of them at the same time and I used imageshack this time.



I solved it forgot to add the orignal GW.exe in the new folder good now I can trade in between accounts without asking others.

glad you got it fixed. see you ingame as usual
