Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I got invintation to a new test of desert borderland, but the point is that 1. PTT client is installing on my OS disc( I couldn’t change destination) and 2. It is updating overlong. I have 120 Mb/s and still it is downloading client with speed of 4 KB/s atm it is about 17 MB and I’m downloading it for over 1h. Can I do something to speed it up?

Hi, i have the same problem.
The Launcher started and is downloading with 2 kb.

Download Speed is 2 kb/sec. and it goes directly into my os Drive which is not the place where i want to install it.
Plz help quick, i am an actual WvW ONLY player yes its true our kinds do exist in this Game and i would like to take part in the Beat to give an actual wvw player Feedback.

Ok figured out one thing, if u move the .exe to the drive you want to install it on, it will download the data on that drive. Smal tip, create an folder and drop the .exe in that folder so it will not mess up your main folder.
Still download is at 2 kb.

Ke, thought so but I got 30 MB of content so… wasn’t worth to swap :P

This has been happening to several people, just bear with it for now as you are not alone

I’m sure as soon as the team arrive in the office this wil get sorted but for now it’s still early over in Murica

p.s.. happening here too btw with firewalls disabled

What do u mean with 30 mb? Is it only downloading the launcher? Or did i have to copy that exe into the actual gw2 folder?

I started the download 3 hours ago and its only downloaded 38502 KB at 4 kb per second. Big patches in the reg client i can download in a couple minutes. Not sure whats going on here but this will take days at the current speed. Hopefully and answer will come.

Hi!

We investigated and noticed there was an issue with the client that you could download on the account website. We now have fixed this issue, but you will have to re-download the executable from the account website, and replace the one you downloaded beforehand.

Please let me know if you’re getting normal speeds with the latest executable.

In WvW forums, restart it everyone getting much faster downloads.

thanks Ins, Im almost 100% sure this happened last time too

Thank You,

for me it works now perfectly. Downloaded the Launcher in a sec, and is currently downloading the Game Data with 6-7 MB/sec.
When exactly dose this event stars in CET Time?

If you are still having trouble, read this:
Tried re-downloading and still had the same problem (2kb/s dl speed). So I made sure to delete all previous versions of the PTT client (including the one I just dl’d) and tried again. This time, the dl speed was what I expected, everything is working correctly.

So, if you are having trouble, be sure that you have deleted ALL previous versions, then DL the latest PTT client.

Ok the actual download is running now but the download speed is very unstable, going up to 6 mb/s but also going down to 50 kb/s.

I deleted it three times because it would only do 100kb/sec. I finally got it to run at 20mb/sekittenil it hit 70% and now it goes between 0kb/sec-400kb/sec. It rarely goes any higher…

Going on hour three of the download.
