Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

when typing in the url bar www.guildwars2.fr > forbidden access to server when typing in the url bar www.guildwars2.com>redirected to www.guildwars2.com/fr

I would very like to play the game without infecting my computer

Can somebody help me on this?

Take it you are in France, that second link is OK just automatically changes to your country.

https://account.arena.net

Log in and click the Game Content tab and then download Game client

looks like its detecting your language as french

It’s because www.guildwars2.fr doesn’t exist. www.guildwars2.com/fr is the French website.

(It’s the same for everyone. If I type in www.guildwars2.com I get redirected to www.guildwars2.com/en.)

If you want to make sure you’re downloading the game from the official site the easiest way to do it is to scroll up to the top of this page (or any page on the forum) and click on the link that says ‘My Account’ under your username.

That will take you to a page with a summary of your account and on the right is a box labelled ‘Useful Links’. The top one on that list is to download the client.

(Obviously the names are different in French, but all the links will be in the same places. The client is also the same no matter which language you’re using when you download it, but it might change which language it defaults to.)

wow ! ! Thanks for helping ! i m going to download it immediately.

Yours sincerely

Small side info:

The client language (text and audio) is stored in the preferences of the windows user (provided you play this game under windows) and always defaults to the language last selected for that user (regardless if you changed ingame or on the launcher).

My daughters and I are playing on the same machine but with different windows users, with the girls playing in our native language and my client set to english, and the only time I have to reset my client language is when one of the girls played their gw2 accounts from my windows account instead of their own (and only because they’ll manually reset my language settings ) .

If you do plan to use the client with different languages, make sure to always patch all languages you want to use (just choose the other language on the launcher and it’ll start the patch automatically if one is needed). By default, the launcher only patches text and audio files for the currently selected language, so if you want to switch languages after a while the launcher will restart and potentially have a sizeable download waiting for you.

Switching audio language in-game doesn’t switch right away. Instead audio language will be turned off until you restart the client, at which point it’ll switch to the selected language.
