Bug Fixes: Fixed a client crash related to shadows. Reverted changes to postprocessing settings.

Hi all, Quick update. We're working on a hotfix now that will revert the postprocessing changes and return things to how they functioned prior to today's update. This should release later today. Some added context on how today’s change came to be. As I mentioned in my earlier post, we’re in the process of finalizing our engine upgrade to DirectX11.

People are still looking into it and we'll get it sorted as fast as we can.

People are looking into this. For the sake of due diligence, in the meantime I'm going to point you to this thread: Note that the game may not launch or work properly after we release a new build if you use a third-party program, due to possible incompatibilities. Customer Support cannot offer support if a third-party modification breaks, interferes with, or prevents you from playing Guild Wars or Guild Wars 2. This may be what some of you are running into.

Well this is definitely not supposed to be happening. I'm looking into it right now!

Hi all, I am sorry this is happening. We are aware of the issue and we've reached out to PayPal to get it resolved.
