Guild Wars 2

Im stuck at the last Kilobit of my update, the entire update raced at around 5MBps but at 99% it hung, and now if i restart the client it tells me its downloading 1 file at 0.0Kbps. I have no firewalls or antivirus software running in the background, and I had already port forwarded GW2 ports months ago when the game first came out… What gives?

Ya im geting the samething not sure why its doing it.

I have the exact same problem – the client doesn’t load the last 1 kb.. it jsut doesn’t do anything. I am able to loginto the login server – but the last kilobit doesn’t load and I’m unable to start playing…

In the German Forum somebody wrote about a possible fix to this problem, which might help at least sometimes (if there are no other problems such as with a firewall):

switch language to french, then relaunch the client, load all the files and switch back to english. (for some reason only french seems to work… )

if you’re lucky it might solve the problem.

I’m just about to load all the french files at the moment, so possibly it will work – at least the client is loading something right now…

yes – switching language and loading all the language files then start again and load all the language files really needed worked for me. ;-)

cumbersome- but it works.

I just tried this also and it worked for me.

Odd it just fixed it self for me.

Going to try the language thing. Side note: I tried to do a repair of the installation which allowed it to finish… But only that one time, ever subsequent launch does the same 1kb BS

No dice. I tried the french thing and it just hung with 1 “fichiers restants”. Horrible timing to try to come back to the game after a 4 month break…

Edit I accidentally tried to load the game from the repair shortcut and it went right to 100% so im able to play. I’d test what makes it work or not some more but i dont want to lose the chance to actually play, It may just have something to do with trying to launch through steam
