Loading launcher

error message: Connection error(S) Detected Retrying

and does nothing

People on Reddit are reporting that problem as well. One said he restarted the launcher a number of times and it finally started working. Mine is … sorta working. It’s oozing along at 0 to 2KB/sec, but I have made it to 75% and given the connection issues I’m not going to restart to try to get it going faster.

Same here, got to about 280 MB and its sitting there at 0-2K/s

Yes. Mine is rarely going over 10 kB/s too. This may take the rest of the evening…

I’m having the same problem and also the forum is loading verrrrrrry slowly for me.

This happens on every patch when a large amount of ppl try patching at once. It’s annoying..but it will resolve itself (well normally it does)

Low fps 7-8 high ping 100-400 1kb download speed on patch its your computer even Nc soft and Arena net will tell you this

mine is at 99% with a few hiccups at various points, just let it sit and do it’s thing

No speed problems here, but rather a launcher that is crashing every 2 seconds.

Still nothing….. cant wait for Anet to say “its nothing to do with them”

Anet engineers are working on it

Try to instal ’’AdwCleaner’’
http://download.cnet.com/AdwCleaner/3000-7786_4-75851221.html

It does help with that problem
Push ’’Start’’
Then ’’Clearing’’
And a pop up will show up that forces you to Restart the Pc

Launcher crashed after downloading 25% of patch.

Well there is something off with todays patch. Mine has been downloading the remaining 1 file for like an hour now (doing other things, so running it in the background). I can still launch the game but havent tried playing yet.

It is definetly not normal behaviour even during heavy load on patch days.

My launcher keeps crashing during the update. Once it reaches 14% it craches.

Mine did the “cannot connect” thingy but it has done that before. My solution is to shut off the launcher completely. Run Ccleaner. Give about a 5 minute wait (read forums or do whatnot). Come back and click launcher again. Worked perfect.

Make sure you do not have back ground programs running or anything open when launching. Don’t make your PC work for it.

I just woke up from a nap where I was dreaming about kittens, Kidel.2057. Lol.

just crashed again in an spvp match

My client gets to the “Initializing” part and then it crashes!

Can’t finish download even after a repair or using a specific IP.

At first try, the initial 50% was downloading normally but speed dropped drastically after, 50KB/s to 200 KB/s then it got stuck at 99% at 0 to10KB/s.

Third try now after the repair and speed is incredibly low 1 to 8KB/s with several minutes reporting as 0KB/s

I’m also having this issue as well. I’m always stuck at 0 KB/s with only 1 file remaining.

I did try repairing and restarting the client several times but the issue is still there.

This is a new issue for me, I never(very rarely) experience client crashes up to this point things have been smooth, yet today I crashed twice in a half an hour of playing spvp.

Happened to my guild friend. It crashed for a second ago after patch and is now downloading again. EU/UK, Gunnars Hold

I also cannot patch the game without crashing. It has happened to me in the past but usually sorted itself out but now I can find no way around it, not even a repair.

I’m having the infinity 1% issue on my husband’s laptop while I’m updating his launcher.
Already updated mine and took almost 1h to finish this 1%

Well done, 2nd patch now cant even login to server at all !

is there a reason why when the game has an issue it takes like 3 minutes to get a page on the forum to work? taken me over 6 minutes to get this small post written and uploaded.?

We made a Hot Fix at 12:30 PM, but I’ve seen a few reports of PvP issues after the build. I’ve reported and we’ll see what transpires.

Even the latest build has the exact same behaviour – 1 file remaining, loading incredibly slow… but you can still play just fine.

Funny thing is, 3 in our guild got the 1 file remaining almost like there was no patch, but 1 guy got 300mb (and we where all playing just before the build came up, so all running the same build then).

Edit: Tried the launcher again now and finally it got the last file at fast speed. 88mb I think.

Modified the command line from -assetsrv 194.25.94.170:80 to -clientport 443 and it finally worked by downloading at max speed and patching fast.

The command line -assetsrv 151.249.90.199:80 worked for me at max download speed.

After 2-3 hours it finally started working

Still slow on my end. I tried all the suggestions even Azyume’s and resetting my Norton Firewall and resetting the thing in CMD and nothing seems to work.

The new patch still doesn’t fix my crashing issue. It downloaded to about 34% before the whole patcher just locked up. Sometimes it doesn’t start, sometimes it gives me the option to send a log to Anet (which I do) and sometimes it just stops.

It might be me since I just upgraded my net drivers but I have been experiencing screen freeze and delayed weapon response (sits there and flashes at me).

Also the first time I tried to zone I was dumped back down to downloading the update again. Since I already had the latest patch, I was able to log in right away but lag issues still remain.

Edit: Got DC’d 3 times in < 10mins. Game unplayable… resetting everything but not holding breath.

Edit2: (with apologies) the DC problem caused by latest HP net driver updates resetting WiFi and Enet settings back to default… Energy Efficient Ethernet setting was re-enabled which cause my connection to cycle on on off and WiFi security key was cleared. (Doh!)

The only remaining issue was the launcher coming up to load the update again the first time I tried to port to another zone.

i still cant download the patch… and i cant get out of pvp map ( i was in a match and now i cant get out..

I tried the last step and it worked for me:

1. Go to the GW2 shortcut properties
2. Add behind the file location: -assetsrv
Example: GW2.exe" -assetsrv
3. Fill in an Asset IP from this list http://gw2status.de/
4. Patch!

5.Stuck at downloading 1 file? Try removing the assetsrv argument or change it to something else (I used: assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com) <— Thanks /u/howellq

Got this tip from Reddit. Credits to iRemz

Not resolved. Downloader/Client crashed 50+ times.. restart, do a little, crash, crash, crash, restart, crash, restart, do a little crash! Grrrrrr!

Thank you it work for me with 151.249.89.12:80

worked here the normal way.

The attached screenshot is the issue I’m having. Earlier on 9/15, when the servers were brought down for the update, the client was closed and instantly after it closed, I restarted it. It then started to present the issue displayed.

I noticed under Account Security settings that there were multiple connections for the same IP. I was able to disconnect from all of them except for one.

I have tried:
- Uninstalling the game and removing all registry entries. (When attempting to reinstall, the installer is creating the same error message. Not sure if the download completes, just seems to download more slowly at the end))

- Flushing DNS and restarting router/PC.

- Installing on my laptop which is on the same network, no issues.

- Installing/updating client on roommate’s PC on the same network, no issues.

Still having the “1 file remaining” issue. Have tried everything I’ve seen documented. (-assetsrv, -repair, delete local.dat, language change)

yep not resolved. client still crashing when patching. right now i’m trying to change the servers, one made it to 5% then crashes, another to 8% then crashes, and now i’m on my third… we’ll see if that one crashes too. repairing the client doesn’t work for me i’ve repair 6+ times already and they all crash at 1%. had to restart the system and re-install the client and still doesn’t work. wtf?!

This issue is still not resolved. I have tried every solution I’ve seen posted, and I still have one file remaining that will not download. I’m on a cable connection in western NC, USA. Most of the patch came down at 5-7MBps; I can’t maintain 50KBps for this file.

Same here and sometimes when trying to screenshot it’ll crash or randomly crash during Teq
