Q:

…I’m trying to install GW2, does the patch seriously have to reset every time I close the launcher? My internet is too terrible for that! (Can’t get anything else where I live, hurry up Google Fiber.)

I let it download over night, got like 20% of it (DSL, woo), but I need my internet to work from home, so I had to close it. When I re-opened, patch restarted. After work I let it download a 1-2 hours, then closed it just to see if it was a fluke. Nope, restarts every single time I close/open it… but I can’t leave it open 24/7…
I can’t just leave it open for 3 days to finish…

Is there a fix for this?

Windows, 64-bit.
File located in Program Files(x86)\Guild Wars 2 (C:\ drive)
3 files in folder – GW2.TMP, GW2 launcher, GW2.dat

I’ve tried googling every phrase I can think of, no answers…

A:

You are just misreading the launcher(to be honest they shouldn’t have done the progress bar that way but anyway …). The progress bar DOES NOT indicate how complete your download(mostly GW2.dat) is. The progress bar DOES indicate how much closer you are to getting the missing bits SINCE you started the launcher.

What you should be looking at is the number of files left. Unless that number is resetting there is no issue.
