Guild Wars 2

Hey, so I tried to install the game by cd and download but something seems to go wrong everytime. It downloads for 30 seconds then another pops up which after 3 seconds or so (the speeds stays at 0kb/s) it just closes. I am pretty sure it’s not my hardware. Please help me because it would be a pitty purchasing the game without being able to play.

So let me get this straight, you open the client to download the game, after 30 seconds another client pops up to download the game and then closes itself after 3 seconds? Does the original client also close or stay at 0KB/s?

Also, what computer specifications are you trying to run on and what operating system are you running on?

I am running windows 7 2.5 gb ram. The original client closes when the second one pops up.

I should have been more specific, Windows 7 64bit or Windows 7 32bit? What CPU do you have and what GPU do you have?

Windows 7 32bit
Intel Core Duo Cpu T2250 @1.73 GHz
2.50 GB RAM

There is your problem, the minimum requirements to be able to launch the game is a dual core processor at least with 2.0Ghz. Yours falls shy of that mark. Time to get a new desktop (or laptop if you really want the worse performance).

Thanks I will just get a new processor. Happy playing!

Just making a note here for you, the minimum requirements are there to let you know what the game can be launched on. This means that the game may run terrible on the minimum specifications. To get a solid game experience a desktop quad-core is recommended.

What video card though? I only see a CPU listed.

He’s running a socket 478 CPU, that equates to whatever was before dinosaurs in the computer world. At this point he’ll either be smart and ask someone what to buy or go to Ebay to purchase another equally old and bad processor for more money than its worth.

It’s obvious that the person is not with the computer world, else they would look at the minimum requirements for games and notice that his/her 7 year old computer can’t play games that have come out in the past year. They’ll likely buy a prebuilt machine that will bring the CPU spec up to date and along with it either HD3000 or HD4000 graphics, which surpass the minimum requirements. Granted the game will look bad and run pretty bad, but with a 7 year old computer, that has to be the norm for them.

The key lesson here people is that the minimum specifications are there for a reason and listed on the buy page for Guild Wars 2 or are listed on the back of the box in stores.
