Guild Wars 2

So, I have a very strange issue with updating. I’ve done the repair, done administrative mode – everything I could think of. Any helpw ould be appreciated.

So, when I try to update, it starts normally until it downloads 60 files. Yep, only 60. Then at the 61st file, the download trickles to 0kb/s. Now where it gets strange is that I can’t close out of the updater normally. What happens is I click the x, it sticks. I click buttons, manipulate it normally – but it all messes up. If I don’t click log in before it starts trickling down, then I can’t log in either – it just hangs there.

Any advice?

I literally just got this problem solved just last night when GW2 support helped me.

From their reply:
Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 folder. By default, this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2.
Right-click on “GW2.exe” and select “Create Shortcut.”
Right-click the shortcut and select “Properties.”
In the “Target” line, put whatever is currently there inside quotation marks, then add a space and -assetsrv 174.35.71.9:80 at the end.
Correctly Formatted Example: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -assetsrv 174.35.71.9:80
Incorrectly Formatted Example: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe -assetsrv 174.35.71.9:80”
Click “Ok” to save your changes. If you get an error, your target line may not have the correct format. Please try Step 4 again.
Make sure Guild Wars 2 is not running.
Use the new shortcut to launch Guild Wars 2.

My update never got past 0%. But after I made the changes I got to 88% in one night

This worked perfectly for me to update and play the game ;thanks for the help.
