Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I’ve searched a bit but I was not able to find any topic that asks about this. So I’m creating a brand new one.

I wanted to ask, if GW2 is using peer-pear (or p2p) protocol to download updates or for any other kind of activities. I just moved to university internet network and due to torrents and similar p2p using applications are denyed.

I would like to know that if playing of GW2 can cause me some troubles by using p2p or not.

Thanks for you answer!

Check with your campos IT admin it may be as simple as port forwarding. I know there has been some issues with campos Internet connections but most have got them worked out. Also I think it has been mentioned that the game download is similar to a bit torrent but not realy sure if that’s true you may need to download the game off campos then try and play on campos. Maybe someone that is playing on a campos Internet will respond and give you more details on what you need to do to get in game.

While I’m not 100% sure, I do not think GW2 uses any P2P type technology during play or when updating the game.

It really depends heavily on how the IT Dept. is detecting P2P and blocking it.

Late but Thank you for your answers, as you said, I’ll contact our campus administrator and will try to find a best way to solve this.

Thank you guys! :-)
