How to Install ArcDPS for Guild Wars 2

In this video I cover how to install ArcDPS and Build Templates, third-party addons that allows you to track your DPS, as well as quickly change "loadouts" within Guild Wars 2.

I am not in any way affiliated with the creator of ArcDPS, I simply wanted to create a brief video explaining the installation and usage for guildmates and friends.

If anybody got a problem that his game crashes when he attacks an enemy. Try to turn off all driver software like Razer, Roccat or Logitech. Worked for me.

I can t turn GW2 on after i moved that file to bin64... idk why :(

[tuca]

Hey, very helpfull guide it seems. But not even through all these clear steps i can get the arcdps settings menu to pop up in game. What might be the issue?

[SurfingZerg]

doesn't work, did exactly as the tutorial said, but the menu simply won't show up, tired re installing gw2 completely, still nothing.

What is the d3d9.dll.md5sum that is in there now? Is that something I should get as well?

[CyberDragonSword]

I've installed the arc DPS but it does not show up when I press alt shift t I have put it in the bin 64 of Guild Wars but it still doesn't show up

[caio]

Is there a wawy to erase the already shown dps? So i can test another build to compare without adding damage to the previous one?

[loebaloebaspoink]

i've jsut got a new harddrive and reinstalled everything, with my old harddrive i've never had problems with arcdps, but now when i install it (putting it in the bin64 folder) my game keeps crashing upon running the launcher. does anyone have a solution for this?

[itsumokokoro]

Is this safe or good from aranet to use? Im worry they gonna ban by using this

[DatBamaBoyGreg]

Followed step-by-step (with only basic arcdps download) but game crashes upon starting launcher. What am I doing wrong?

[harisonjones]
