Guild Wars 2

I recently bought a new laptop and have been on the go down under in Australia. Despite having abysmal internet connection almost anywhere – I decided to check out HOT since i bought it ages ago before leaving. I’ve been slowly but surely downloading the game and playing/streaming as i go. I haven’t had to preload a map for a long time with what seems like the most of the game done. However since the most recent patch my launcher has stopped letting me play while streaming despite the launcher showing the game as past the playable stage. The play button is grayed out and logging in and out doesnt make a difference. When i first tried to log in i got an error message stating that i didnt have the correct privilege however im not sure this is relevant as i have tried another account i have and that doesnt give me a play option either.

Any ideas?

I’ve kind of managed to resolve this issue by bypassing my ISP using my phone tethered. I’m not sure if there’s an issue with the route i was being sent to the asset servers but seems to be working now I’ve overcome this part and the game no longer has to authenticate with them.

As a bit more detail i managed to download the entire game besides two files and it stalled and left me hanging. restarting showed the same two files. This move of ISP was what resolved this part. the streaming client and what tells the launcher that its playable i presume was also not authenticating with myself and therefore halting the play function.
