Guild Wars Legacy wont start on new PC

  • Hello, i need help,

    I just got a new PC (ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Dark Hero, Intel i9 14900KS, ASUS RTX 4700 SUPER, Corsair Dominator DDR5 5600, Samsung 990 Pro EVO 2 TB). Everything ist working fine except GW.

    Windows 11 Pro.

    All Updates done (Win 11, Bios and plenty of reinstalls of GW).

    What can i do?

    i get this Error right on startup:

  • This is an known problem, as a short web-search shows.

    Probably the easyiest attempt to solve your problem is to check your assigned physical memory. Open your console and type:

    Code
    sfc /scannow

    You built your PC on your own, I assume. Check if RAM is correctly installed (once I had the problem a RAM wasn't fully plugged in its socket).
