Guild Wars 2

I left my the client to download when i came back it was stuck at 22% with 0.00KB. I closed the client and started it back up and it stuck at 0% now. I checked my firewall to make sure it’s not getting blocked too and still the same. I also have over 300+ GB left in my mac too. Is there anything else I have to do?

Btw my system specs. I hope this helps

Ahhh man i hope you can get it installed! last resort i can use bootcamp and use windows but i don’t wanna do that

Just a heads up. The percentage is for the number of files downloaded in that particular sitting. So if you close the client at 22%, and then reopen it, it will ignore the 22% you downloaded already and the percentage will go back to 0% – though since you’ve already downloaded 22% you will have less files to download. Sorry if that was a workabout way of explaining it. Fried brain at the moment.

As to getting the installer to run.

I would suggest trying to delete your gw2 folder in Application Support inside your user Library.

I’ve deleted the app and re installed it again and this time it worked and now its downloaded. Now when i press “play” nothing happens lol oh mannnnnn

1 Click on the “Finder” icon located in your dock or the desktop of your computer to make “Finder” the active program in the finder menu bar.
2 Hold down the “Option” key on your keyboard while clicking “Go” in the finder menu bar. A drop-down will appear.
3 While still holding down the “Option” key, click on “Library” in the “Go” drop-down.
4 Once in the Library folder click on Application Support > Guild Wars 2
5 Move the entire Guild Wars 2 folder to the trash and then empty the trash.
The next time you launch Guild Wars 2 it will recreate the recently deleted folder.

Try that. This is not deleting the app, it’s deleting certain files the launcher uses and forcing it to rebuild itself.

Alright cool. Will that effect my download on the game? Do i have to re-download it again?

Nope it won’t effect the download at all.
If you’re concerned just make a copy of the GW2.app or of the .dat file inside of the app (the .dat is what contains all of the game data) – to access the .dat you just right click on the Guild Wars 2 application, then click “Show Package Contents” then Contents>>Resources>>transgamng>>C Drive>>GW2. Then just duplicate the .dat and drag the copy to the desktop. (then if anything goes wrong you can paste the copy back into the folder.

Alright cool i did that trick you told be about and it made it update and its stuck at 99% Im gonna keep trying again i hope it works soon. Thanks for the help!

How long have you tried leaving it at 99%? The percentage is based on number of files, rather than the size of the files, so the last file could just be quite large?
