WARNING: MODIFYING GUILD WARS 2 THROUGH ANY 3RD PARTY TOOLS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY ARENANET OR NCSOFT.
DO NOT CONTACT SUPPORT ABOUT GAME CLIENT ISSUES WHILE USING THIS TOOL. THERE IS NO HELP OR WARRANTY.
THIS IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY.
how to install, update, or uninstall
to install, place d3d11.dll next to gw2-64.exe while the client is not running, optionally can be renamed to dxgi.dll.
addons and arcdps config directory will be created alongside client exe after launch.
to update, replace arcdps dll.
to reset, delete the config directory above while the client is not running.
to remove, delete the arcdps dll while the client is not running.
some client updates may change components used by arcdps, requiring an arcdps update.
most errors will disable logging and extension data sharing features.
how to use
don't be a dick.
by default, holding alt and shift is required for hotkeys, t is the hotkey for options.
right click on windows to bring up their context menu options if available.
something isn't working
check 'gw2 install dir/addons/arcdps/' for an arcdps.log or arcdps_lastcrash.log.
if nothing is being drawn, make sure the dll is named appropriately and placed in the right directory.
if the game crashes at character select, some other application with overlay features may be interfering.
if you get an image modified error, some other application with overlay features is interfering.
if windows are drawn but a hotkey isn't working, some other application may have a global hook installed for that key.
if you get a file creation error, make sure the client has read/write permission to the directory mentioned.
if there is an issue with accuracy, compare details window skills against self skills, isolate the affected gear or buff or trait.
if you are crashing, repair your client, remove all arcdps extensions and chainloads, and try to repeat the crash.
if your issue is not in known-issues, describe what you were doing and attach the latest complete arcdps log.
evtc logging
pve/wvw: starts on first player combat enter, boss set by first damage event on boss, stops when all players exit combat.
map: starts on joining an instance type map, stops on leaving map.
npc id for pve logs can be found via detail window and noting species in window title, or tooltip in target list after attacking.
logs are written to 'documents/gw2/addons/arcdps/arcdps.cbtlogs/.../date-time.evtc' by default.
extensions and parsing data
most extensions and links to parsing tools can be found on elite insights' discord.
place next to gw2 exe or in gw2 install dir/bin64/.
