Guild Wars 2

THANK YOU!!!!

And nice job to the programmers. This was a relatively quick fix, since it took only 3 working days. Kudos to you!

Hooray, my OCD isn’t set off anymore thank god

Resolved as said, 100% downloaded. Thank you.

I’m still downloading 1 file..

EDIT: it’s fine now.

EDIT: it’s fine now.

How much time took to download it all? Because I’m still downloading 1 file too… I’m not sure if it will work as it gets to 0 kbps at some point…

I had this problem initially after the patch. Tried all documented fixes; none worked for me. After a couple of days, I resigned myself to just trying, once every day, to patch normally. Today, it worked.

The flow resumed. Thank support team – South America – Brazil

There was a recent thread on this and apparently the issue was resolved but here I am still chugging away at that last remaining file. I’ve tried changing the target path name but that didn’t work. Restart never fixed it either. Really really really don’t want to have to re-download it…

Well with this new patch the issue has returned.

I am firstly downloading at 1-5 kb/s
Secondly it stalls at 1MB and stops downloading completely.

We believe we’ve resolved the issue that caused this. Please try again.

Nope, it is back again with this recent patch for me.

Starting with the September 15th game update, all files downloaded successfully except for one. For the next two weeks no matter how long I played (hours) or how long I sat on the log in screen (half a day) it just won’t download that last file.

It tries to download, mind you but it never completes.

So I waited till yesterdays update to see if the New update would clear it. It did not.

my client crashes while trying to download files, this has gone on for about a month but im always able to keep playing by hitting “play” fast enough

We just ignoring this? Looks like me and Psy don’t get to play the game

No, my client doesn’t crash, It just continues to try to download 1 file all day, every day.

I can play but I have started to get an occasional choppy lag. Not sure if that is the same issue though.

Jon Olson.8439:

We believe we’ve resolved the issue that caused this. Please try again.

So 21 days ago the problem was thought to be resolved but I still have one file downloading every day.

Are there any updates on this issue?

2 files remaining, download dies after it supposedly downloads a single file in the vicinity of 253MB. Once it reaches that file size download speed spikes to 100MB/s and then plummets to 0KB/s and then all download information disappears. Game is NOT playable for me, I’ve had this issue for 5 or 6 days and no item in the support pages has helped much.
Adding -image to the shortcut appeared to work, and it brought me down from 6 files remaining to 2, at which point it ceased to do anything.
I tried all the possible fixes again, none of which helped. Also I have no Guild Wars 2 folder in My Documents, so no local.dat file there, though it does exist in AppData\Roaming but I’m not sure about messing with that one.

Stefan Larimore.6872:

We have flushed potentially corrupt assets. Please try again.

I apologize for the inconvenience this undoubtedly caused.

Nope sorry Stefan, still have 1 file remaining. Bar is showing 25MB Downloading right now, bar shows 0%. The download per sec keeps going from 0kb/sec to ~100kb/sec over and over…

Unlike Kiro above, I can still log in so it is not interrupting me from actually playing the game but I do not know if it is effecting my fps or ping.

Yes, I am having the same issue.

same problem :O
It download till 48mb and it suddenly became 0kb/s
Location: Australia

I’m getting the same problem. The last 3 files refuse to download and a few seconds after opening the client I get a “connectivity error” message.

0% | Downloading 48mb | 1 File Remaining.

It then flashes to nothing along the bottom bar.

Mine just finished successfully, you guys may want to try again.

Mine still getting stuck at 41mb, every time ; ’ (. Trying to run it compatibility, no firewall, admin, or some combinations of.

mine aren’t fix yet :/

Still stuck at 3 remaining files

I’m stuck at 2 files remaining. Starts off at 2mb/sec as usual and then plummets down to 0kb/s. Location: Australia.

I’m also stuck at 3 files, 34MB

I have the same issue.

Me too, stuck at 3 files 34mb. Australia as well.

I also am having this problem and also form STRAYA!!

Hey guys.

I used to get this problem a lot, it especially happens to people outside of North America trying to connect to their patch servers. Their patch servers are really notoriously antagonistic towards non-NA connections. It used to be really bad but has been better recently.

Anyway the work around I heard about from before trying to solve the problem is to use a VPN for patching. So I downloaded a free one (today was tunnelbear) turned it on and patched fine, then turned it off.

It should work for you too.

Good luck.

Same Issue.

edit:

Thanks Nautzera, worked like a charm.

Legend!

I had the same Issue ( Playing from South America). Tried a free VPN and my patched loaded in 5 seconds.
Thanks Nautzera

Had same issue, stuck on last 3 files, optus/aus
I did the tunnelbear vpn solution thingy (yea i know things :P) and it fixed instantly. thank-you!

From Australia, have had exactly the same problem as Equilax. Can confirm the VPN method works, thanks a lot!

Happy to help, and quite glad it’s working for everyone else too! : D

Shame that we had to resort to downloading a VPN. I’ve only ever had bad experiences with VPNs (viruses) and even McAfee had a warning pop up when I downloaded TunnelBear.

EDIT: Low and behold, within 2 minutes of downloading TunnelBear I get an email from Google saying someone is trying to hack into my Gmail (I dont use my gmail account, so it wasnt me)

VPNs are not necessarily viruses. McAfee is also the antivirus with the most false positives.

There are many legit free (albeit restricted) VPNs out there. So find one you trust enough, you can google reviews on their safety levels.

The reason you got that email is because when you run a VPN it makes your IP different from your registered normal one. So any service that has a registered IP will detect the new VPN IP as a potentially a foreign one or new location. Which is true. You’re not being hacked, lol.

You got an email due to the game logging in from another IP (Whatever you set TunnelBear) to.

But I dont use gmail for anything. It’s not signed in anywhere on this computer so why would a change in my VPN affect it?

Hi i see that this has been a prob for more then 5hr, how come Arenanet have not let us Know what is the prob and when it will be fixed.

It’s so depressing to see nothing from ArenaNet on this matter, after 5+ hours..
What am I suppose to do to play other than trying VPN.
-player from Sydney

6 hr +

player from Sydney

Patch still won’t finish d/ling as of 8 hours ago – would appreciate a word about a fix other than using third party programs.

Bad timing to have just thought of installing the client on my Mac.

It’s now downloading at around 500kb/s, but about 6 hours ago it was 0kb/s, with about 50,000 files to go.

I think I have the same or a similar problem! It’s still downloading (for now), but the play button on the launcher is greyed out and un-clickable. This is despite the fact it was working fine yesterday, and the download having surpassed the playable section.

Also from Australia.

8 hr + down

Player from Sydney

Same for me here. Australia as well.

Tried -assetsrv <string>[edit]

Used to specify the IP or DNS to use for downloading assets.

as well… no luck…….. arghhh

Yeah i can get to the 3 files remaining and the speed just drops to 0. Also in australia. I don’t have a VPN that i can use.

Can this thread please be assessed by an anet member.
