Guild Wars 2

Setting is set to max, which is supposed to download files every second I’m playing. Yet it is not downloading at all unless I go to a zone I have yet to visit since installing the game. And it tells me you can’t go there yet we need to download the zone. I installed the game two days ago and it still has over 168,000 files to download. That would be after the 5 or 6 zones I had to wait for the game to download to go into them. My connection is so fast that I should have had the whole game downloaded within a few hours at most. I have been in game playing in total over 3 days 10 or more hours.

Thank you for the reply. Is there a way to tell if after having done this that it is now properly set other than playing for an hour or two more and then exiting and starting the game again to see if file progress has been made?

It is showing the right setting. I have tried your method two different ways and it is not downloading anything while set to max. I first logged into the game. On the character select screen I went into options set it to on demand. Entered with my necro character. Played in the zone I entered for 5 minutes harvesting nodes, killing some enemies, getting waypoints and such I didn’t have. I then went into settings changed it to max. And proceeded to do the same for another 5 minutes. Then went about doing some personal story steps for about a half hour or so. I then exited the game and opened it again to see the status of how many files were left and it was the same amount as before I logged in to do the steps I just listed.

I then tried it another way. Opened the game. on the character select screen chose on demand. Entered with my necro character. Did the same activities above but in a different zone (the one I left off in after doing that personal story thing) for 5 minutes. Exited the game this time. Opened it again and logged in. On character select chose max for the setting. Entered with my necro character. Did the same activities in the zone for 5 minutes. And then proceeded to do some more personal story until the time I am writing this post. I exited the game to open it again to check the status of the number of files left, and again at the same amount it was at the time of login.

You could try using a command line argument, such as this:

Good luck.

I’ve never gotten the client streaming function to work properly. Looking for an answer here too.

Since I haven’t heard back further I would like to ask if there is a debug tool I should be using, an email address maybe I should continue this with. Or if this has gone to ya’ll confirmed there is indeed a problem and have developers working on fixing it? Thanks.
