After being away from GW2 for roughly six months, I’ve decided to come back and check things out now that Heart of Thorns has launched. Those months ago, I would download patches at my ISP’s service package max of roughly 6-7 MB/sec. Now, for no reason at all, I have trouble getting higher than 800 KB/sec. I have already tried using the assertsrv method with the IP addresses, they either make it even slower or freeze the launcher altogether.
Nothing has changed with my Router or Firewall. Everything is still exactly the same. Has anyone else encountered this issue recently?
