Guild Wars 2

Currently, when you download a patch, there’s a thin red bar that increases as you download the required files of the patch.

The problem I have is that I see the download amount increase by 20mb or so but the bar won’t move and the percentage doesn’t increase.
I’m assuming that this is because the percentage is based on the number of files but I would prefer if it was based on the actual size of the patch.

I get somewhat impatient when I see progress increase by 10% from 1 file out of 10 which makes up about 100kb in a 50mb patch because I end up expecting all the other files to be of a similar size.

In summary, please make the percentage value of the download bar based on the total amount of data downloaded as opposed to the total number of files or add an additional download bar that works that way.

P.S. Love your game, keep up the good work <3

Totally agree with OP.

I think the game installs the files as it is downloading the patch.

I agree, showing the percentage of the number of files doesn’t really hep a bit because who knows if the last file is 100kb or 100mb.
