I intresting in solution how correct installing this game.

The current installer doesn’t support selecting a directory, so you’ll need to wait for an update. Alternatively, install it, move the folder, then use regedit to update the paths.

GW2 doesn’t actually need to be installed in the traditional sense. You can simply move your Guild Wars 2 folder wherever you want. If you haven’t gotten that far yet, simply rename Gw2Setup.exe to Gw2.exe and place it wherever you want to install it.

Can you manually make a GuildWars2 folder on a drive with at least 35GB free space and run the installer from there?

Gw2Setup.exe? Rename it to Gw2.exe and place it wherever you want.

It doesn’t matter where you put Gw2.exe. It’ll simply install to its current folder.

Do be aware you may have issue playing the game outside Core Tyria with a Windows 32-bit OS.

Good luck.

you will have to upgrade your windows 32 bit system . to windows10 64 bit system as the game no longer supports 32 bit systems any more . they also come right out and tell you not to even use a 32 bit system for this game . and that answer is right here in this link post.

Note: 64 bit is strongly recommended for quality of experience

https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/201862958-Minimum-System-Requirements

also too if your using a out dated 32 bit system . you need to fully upgrade your stone age computer in order to keep playing the game . hope this helps you and good luck

no new system upgrades coming
