Guild Wars 2

When I open up my client it gets stuck starting to patch. Before it shows the login info (email and password) it downloads.. something like it normally does for a patch. It gets stuck at 10461 KB and then gives me an error saying that an unexpected error was encountered (what errors aren’t unexpected?). I try again and again, but no dice. Same amount of KB each time. Any ideas? I can’t run on admin. GW2 has worked fine on this computer before this moment.

This is the same problem that I’ve experienced for a couple of weeks. I even started a thread (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Can-t-update-game/first#post1840156), but since I haven’t received an answer (even after doing what Ashley is suggesting you to do), I’m guessing you won’t get an answer either. If you want to play you can go to your gw2 folder, where the .dat, .exe and .tmp files are located. Deleting the .exe file and changing the .tmp to .exe fixes the updating issue for me. However this is a temporary solution since I have to do this with every update.

Hi,

If it can help, I had the same problem yesterday. The hard drive where the game is installed was full. At first, I freed 5GB but it wasn’t enough. Then I freed 50GB and it did the trick.

I’m under the assumption that it needs at least 16GB of free space (the size of the big Gw2.dat file right now).

Good luck!
