Black Screen when opening

I have been able to play fine, however, every time i open the game now it just black screens.

For example i click to open it (even with the -dx9single) and it does the update check.. however it then just black screens. I can still click around the screen and such and I think it is downloading behind it.. just no screen

I have reinstalled the game, and also reinstall the bottles but the same keeps happening. I know I can run the game as i have been doing so fine until today.

Any advice?

Make sure that the run command reads
"path/to/your/GW2.exe" -dx9single
If you haven't already go grab the special Crossover build http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7951;forum=1;msg=129708
In the opening thread of that topic look about half way down for the specific mac instructions (if you're running on a mac).
let me know if that helps?

Nopes didn't work

I have played the beta's and such however when I open it .. it just goes black. I have also reinstalled it twice now and also paid for the full program to see if that helps, however nothing is working. I'm all out of ideas.

I shall try installs it again to see if that works.
