Guild Wars 2

I cannot run guild wars 2 now. I was playing last night and everything was fine. Got home from work and gw2 won’t work. I click on the link to start the game, it shows it downloading then the kbs drop to 0 really quick. If I let it sit it eventually comes up with a Connection error. Ideas? I changed nothing as far as settings are concerned. Turned firewall off and on again. Tried running as admin.

I’m having the exact same problem. Yesterday’s update went through just fine, but I can’t download and install this new update.
This isn’t the first time I’ve had problems updating GW2.

I have the same issue. Reset router, restarted comp. Why no worky?

I just got it going, at least I think it was my doing. There were 14 Windows updates waiting to be installed. Once I finished that and rebooted my system GW2 updated just fine.
I’m running Win7 64. Maybe check yours? Hope it helps. =)

same issue, anyone find a fix?

Yeah, GW2 isn’t working for me. At all. Can’t even boot up the setup client to install it; it just freezes. Doesn’t work on any computer I own nor on my neighbors a few miles down the road. There seems to be an issue between the Arenanet servers and my local area. Do any of you live in the Indiana/Michigan area?

I’m in the same boat. I get the connection error message then freeze. Cant even close the launcher window.

Exactly, it starts downloading at a very, very slow pace and then freezes completely. Only option is to go into task manager and directly close the process. It was bothering me for like an hour because I thought it was on my end.

Same problem here, and Zed yes Indiana here.

P.S. Would love some GM awesomeness on this thread

I finally made it through to the file download portion of the festivities. It was nothing that I did it just got there on its own, painfully slowly.

I should add that I’m in Missouri in case that’s helpful.

Northwest Indiana here, same boat. Forced to axe-murder the launcher with Task Manager. Then came to see if there was news (after GW2’s Twitter page didn’t mention any downtime).

UPDATE: A reboot and grabbing the updates fixed it, as TBP’s post also said. I’m in now.

I rebooted and it didn’t seem to remediate the problem. Even ran speedtest,

Open up command prompt
Type route print

Verify that there are no guild wars 2 specific re-routes in the routing table. (This confirms that there are no bad routes in the hosts file.) if you do find a bad route, you’ll need to modify the host file, refer to google to do that.

Type iconfig /release
Ipconfig /renew
Ipconfig /flushdns
Netsh windsock reset

Once finished, make sure guild wars 2 is running under administrator mode. Also make sure that your firewall has made Guild Wars 2 open on all ports.

Also clear your Guild Wars 2 cache

The quickest way to clear the GW2 Cache is to:
Ensure your game is completely closed.
Hold your “Windows Key” and press “F” to open Windows Search on your computer.
Search for “gw2cache”
It will find a folder called “gw2cache-{bunch-of-letters-and-numbers}” at:
“C:\Users\YourComputerUserName\AppData\Local\Temp”
Delete this “gw2cache-{bunch-of-letters-and-numbers}” folder that is shown in the results.

Restart your computer, if not fixed try the Google DNS fix:
