Guild Wars 2

I bought this game today since it was on sale. When I try to download the game from the installer it halts at about 50% and crashes. I have tried all the possible solutions I have found, changing my DNS settings, updated all my drivers, tried using a VPN edited the host file, tried to change target location information and have no help. All necessary ports are open, the firewall is not a problem either. Tech support just told me “keep trying” essentially. I have run out of options, I even contacted Verizon to make sure the currect ports where open. Someone please help my poor soul.

Maybe your internet connection dropped at the time… :T it happens

I’ve been having the same issues. The DNS change work around worked for me, for about three minutes. When I first did it, I was having speeds of 600+ kbs. Then out of nowhere, it’s dropped down to 24 kbs and stays around there until it finally bottoms out to 0. Looking at it right now, it’s at 5kbs.

That is not the case. There is something else stopping it and I have tried almost every possible solution on the internet.

There are several different solutions in the thread, and Dev posts, as well.

Good luck.

Tried, filed, and cried.

“When I try to download the game from the installer it halts at about 50% and crashes. "

Do you see the login screen? What happens if you restart the client? Are the remaining files decreasing?

Try renaming GW2setup.exe to GW2.exe and place it where you want the game to be installed.

Also avoid installing it into your programs folder.

Yes I saw the log in, no the files are not staying.

I dont even have a GW2setup.exe, the only exe file that I have for GW2 is titled “GW2” and its what starts the launcher so I going to try that.
EDIT: Crashed even faster this time. I have seen most people having this issue have Verizon as their ISP which I do, I have no idea how Verizon could be getting in the way of a simple installer that I have given access to but who knows. I also have tried Mutiple VPS like WTFast.

Your best bet is to contact the Tech CS Team for assistance, again. Top/Bottom of Page – Support – Submit a Request

Good luck.
