So I (stupidly) payed for a C.D key instead of getting the box of Guild Wars 2. Got to download the whole game. Normaly no problem.
Unfortantly though, when ever my wireless cuts out (does it about once every 2 hours) it crashes the game download client and i have to start again.

Just woundering if theres any answer other than directly pluging my P.C into the Internet Hub.

Thank you.

You don’t have too many options here unfortunately. If your internet cuts out predictably, you could try manually closing the client before you think the Internet may cut out, and when you open it up again it should resume from where it left off.

Aside from this, I can only really advise either installing the client from a different location where you might not experience this issue, or copying the client files over from someone who already has it installed.

If you have wireless problems… Do not install from wireless.

Yes, install from a wired connection.

Alternative: If you know a friend who also has GW2, have him copy over the GW2.dat

Note that even tho the installation bar may suggest you are starting all the way over each time you restart the client, you are not.

The client only displays the NUMBER of REMAINING files and the progress bar displays the % of number of files remaining (NOT the remaining size of the download). It’s kind of convoluted and confusing but it does not restart the entire download every time….it picks up where it left off (you can see this if you keep up with the number of files listed and ignore the % bar).
