Ever since the revamp of Avast a couple of months ago it likes to block some of my games from launching and I never had this issue before. Now I know it’s Avast itself as I’ve turned off the File Shield, Web Shield, and Mail Shield individually and still the Age of Mythology was blocked, which is what I was testing with, until I disabled all for 10 mins. Now even when I do that there’s been a couple of games where when the 10 mins was up it crashed Guild Wars 2 by blocking it again. Now I don’t like being unprotected and I don’t want to switch anti-virus software, but unless this is fixed I might not have a choice.
Set a exclusion for the game(s) and if that doesn’t solve it disable the behavior shield.
I had to recover my password and login, just to post a necro>
I HAVE put gw2.exe on the exclusion list and STILL
YOU STILL HAVEN’T FIXED THIS!!!
Guild Wars 2 is still being blocked WHENEVER there’s a game update
(The game exe dir is not being manipulated but rather the %appdata% location)
It’s uber-annoying to have to disable avast whenever I want to launch the game.
You guys are seriously losing (if not already lost) your touch with this…
