2 possibilities exist.

1. Corrupted data cache. (you can locate and delete it from your temp folder. For a quick run, hit Win+R to open the Run window, type %temp% and hit enter to open it. The file will be named gw2cache followed up by lots of random letters and numbers.)

2. out dated add-ons (like ARCdps) that need to be updated.

I assume you used Steam's built-in repair feature, and I don't know how well that works.

Instead, try putting the -repair command into the launch options.
There are two ways to do this.

1. Right-click Guild Wars 2 in your Steam Library, then select Properties… and put the following line into the field titled LAUNCH OPTIONS as the first thing:
   

   -repair

   (You can leave other commands (e.g., -autologin or -provider Portal) active in there, if you use any.)
   Then, "launch the game".
   
2. Right-click Guild Wars 2 in your Steam Library, then select Manage > Browse local files. An explorer window will open at

   ..\steamapps\common\Guild Wars 2

   . In it there will be a Gw2-64.exe. Either right-click it, select Send To… > Desktop (create shortcut), or drag it to any location of your choosing while holding the Alt key, which will also create a shortcut. It can be the same folder if you want. Right-click that new shortcut, select Properties and append

   -repair

   to the text in the Target field, like so:
   

   \steamapps\common\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.exe" -repair

   Then, launch the shortcut.

Both methods will do essentially the same.
A window saying "data archive is being repaired" (or similar, for me it showed up in German) should appear.
If you chose option 1, don't forget to take out the -repair command afterwards.

Be advised that the repair process will probably take quite a while, and the window might display "not responding" while it's active.

It wouldn't hurt.
But if you do use any add-ons like ArcDPS, my money is on those.

You always wanna periodically delete that file. Corrupted data caches can cause lag, disconnects, frame rate drops, etc. Just remember to relaunch the game to create a new cache file.

[Q]

GW2 cache folder and the gw2 local.dat file (this one stores some ingame options so make sure to take screenshots for graphic settings etc).

Have you recently updated to Windows 11 on a Pc with older hardware?

This is one potential cause of Gw2 crashes recently.
