Guild Wars 2

Every time I click on my GW2 shortcut to start the game I downloads a 10,307 kb file before I get to the login screen. I tried repairing the client, didn’t help.

I don’t know if this is relevant, but it might have something to do with the issue: I just built a new desktop and i didn’t download the game all over, but copied the game folder from my old computer. I start the game using a shortcut i created to the GW2.exe file.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyone have any ideas? I didn’t have this issue from the start, it is a recent (as in several days) occurrence.

check your folder permissions and/or moving gw2 folder to a different drive/location

Still having this issue, now it is downloading a 10,340 kb file every time I start the game, before getting to the login screen.

I am having the exact same problem, only I though it was something to do with the Mac Beta version but apparently it is not if it’s affecting also windows users!
