I run on Windows 10 and every time I start the game up after this last patch I get prompted that "Command Center" is trying to access something on the disk and if I should allow it.

Is the client looking for some resource that Windows thinks is in a protected area?

Has anyone else had this come up?

Do you have an alienware computer? We have some alienware specific functionality (keyboard lighting, specifically), and it could be that their drivers work differently on Windows 10 or something.

I was actually running on the 64-bit client before, but am now experiencing frame drops after this update. Not sure what would be the cause unless it was something in the "new" version, but I doubt it's changed significantly from this one update.

There was nothing 64-bit exclusive that changed in this patch, no. Do the drops happen when you do something specific?

I tried running the 64-bit and installing but it never installed, just downloaded the game to the downloads folder and launched from setup file, weird.

Yeah, it's a known issue that's getting patched. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Or you can just go in your GW2 directory and send the GW2.exe to desktop as a shortcut. Then you can have both GW2.exe and Gw2-64.exe shortcuts.

If you launch Gw2.exe (and it happens to be 32-bit), it will close itself and launch the 64-bit client without that command line parameter. If you want a shortcut for both, the 32-bit shortcut will need -32 on the command line.

thanks for that, I tried the 64-bit beta client and it devoured my RAM every time (I have 16gb) I switched back to 32-bit and had no problems... not sure if I want to test the current 64

There were a few changes done during beta to have it eat less memory.
