Guild Wars 2

Cameron.2315:

Is it safe to assume this won’t be fixed till the morning everyones clocked off and gone home now?

On the bright side, by the time morning comes the client will have finally finished downloading!

Kudos to the person who decided to this patch after everyone went home for the day……….

They can’t afford to keep technicians on call.

Between 1 and 2kb here. Ran a speed test on my connection and I am getting 29MB down at the moment for anything else so the problem is not on our end.

So…I guess no GW2 for me tonight…whee…

How big is the patch? I updated via 32bit and it broke my game, it won’t start, I have no choice but to try updating via 64bit to see if anything happens.

Yup … downloading at 0kb/s here too … oh well guess ill kick my feet up on my desk and watch youtube videos about american burgers

You’d think they read the forums to see if anything has come up. Guess not in this case. It’s an agonizing download. I got better download speeds on dial up 1200baud modems.

Lol… I bet someone’s getting fired tomorrow morning!

This is garbage.. been over a hour now. We should all be compensated for our time lost..

They end up breaking the game with the update. Go figure.

its a free to play game … estimate how long its going to take .. and go outside nothing is forcing you to stare at the downloader till its done.

32 bit client updates fine. 64 bit client was updating for an hour and didn’t finish. Sticking with the 32 bit client for now… #smh

Same here, patches at 2 KB/s, which is agonizing to say the least.

Glad it’s not only me.. And I never have problems with Gw2.

I’m also curious if anyone knows how big the client patch is. I’m getting 1-3 kb/s download on the 64-bit client as well.

EDIT: Just read in another thread that their client finished downloading at around 23,000 kb.

EDIT2: My client is still downloading. Above info is incorrect. It is now at 32600 KB downloaded. Ugh…

same issue here and my guildie also encounter same issue too.. pls fix it ASAP anet..

Download speed of 0-2 KB, can’t get into game since the update came out. Updates should not takes hours to complete.

Hmm free to play you say? I do believe I payed initially for the game and again for HoT oh and I have bought gem cards. That being said I can do other things while I wait for the download to complete but I would have liked to have been informed that I was BUYING a BETA game when I purchased the expansion. The 32bit client isn’t an option for me. I can’t run it without a crash every 5 minutes so I do hope they fix this soon.

Temporary workaround is to use the 32b client, it downloads everything real speedy. However once updated if you try to use the 63b it tries to redownload everything.

4KBs/sec woot

Oh, it’s a recent issue. I guess I picked a bad day to dl the 64bit client for the first time.

Im the same the 32 bit client crash’s like a B%$# for me, and i paid for this and HoT but im not paying a monthly fee is what i mean … so while i may not get my “moneys worth” today i have the rest of the life of the game to play.
Not paying $18 a month or whatever the subs fee is these days so i dont feel like i should log in every second of every day ot make sure i got my moneys worth

edit
spose BUY to play would have been a more appropriate term

The game was running fine all evening. Not sure why they had to push out a patch so late in the day when they could have just done it in the morning when people are at work.

ANET is apparently unaware of this. They are likely all in bed. If they are trying to fix it I would say tonight is a bust for playing GW2. At least I got to watch WSU beat UNLV live at the arena tonight.

Also experiencing this problem, and no it’s not a FREE game, I paid full price for the initial title and expansion. Gotta agree with whoever said patching and then going home for the night is a dumb idea.

I decided to wait out the 64 bit download. Meanwhile, I am watching Empire Strikes Back. #ThingsToDoWhilePatchingGuildWars2

Brooklyn Nine-Nine here. So funny.

I am having the same issue, was working perfectly before the latest patch.

2kb per sec here and no thanks to the update I missed the Karka Queen event. Likely will not be able to do it until after reset.

Flashback to DIALUP BANDWIDTH.

The fear! The loathing!

I don’t know if this is the 64 bit client or just an anet server issue. My game is updating at 1 KB a second and its super frustrating. The rest of the internet is fast and zippy but when I download the update its super slow? Plz haalp. Much love. Tim Tim

Im having the same prob.

oKB/sec but i Know Anet with there world renown Customer Support it will be fixed before the new year.

Good luck all.

Same issue here. Slow update of the 64-bit client but the 32-bit client is working just fine.

Same issue.. if I’m lucky. lol Aust on Optus here.

Having the same problem with the 64 bit client.

Same here, there is another threat about this problem.

Anet official response on reddit: “We are aware of the patching issues with the 64 bit client and are working on it. For now, the 32 bit client is able to be patched.”

I’m in the same boat with the 64bit client patching at 2kb/sec. Is it flashback wednesday or something? Whats going on? Does anyone know what the total patch size is? I hate to wait for a couple hours while this trickles in.

official response on reddit … of course it is

Constant Rollbacks, so we fix a server crash….by crashing the patch servers….seems legit. SIGH

Movie over. Patching isn’t. ~16000KB and counting. sigh

My 64 bit is also downloading at 2 kbs…

Patched using the 32, worked really well.

64 still won’t patch.

Same issue here. 64-bit updating at 1Kb/s. 32-bit updated in a few seconds and working fine.

Work-around seems to be to go back to the 32-bit version until ArenaNet fix it. The 64-bit is still in beta, after all.

We are aware of the patching issues with the 64 bit client and are working on it. I’ll update this thread when I get more info, but for now the 32 bit client is your only option.

3KB/sec here too – that’s really strange, I’ve never had a patch that didn’t come in at full speed before. It sounds as if, for 23,000, it may take some time – over two hours??

Yeah… On reddit he says the 32bit client is the only option at the moment. I am sorry but the 32bit really isn’t an option considering how frequently it crashes. I guess it is an option if you are on a 32bit operating system. I guess for those that aren’t running 32bit Windows the only option is to not play the game for now.

Gotta love how they’ll respond on Reddit, but not on their own forums.

0kb’s a sec lol

+1, same issue here, the dl of the 64bit is capped at 3KB/s.
