Guild Wars 2

I was attempting to download the game for the first time and it was going fine until it had only 1 file remaining, at which point it froze. After exiting out and relaunching, it had 0% downloaded with 1 file remaining and would not move. I deleted everything and re-downloaded the client, this time uninstalling avast and disabling my firewall. I waited another 6 hours for it to download, and this time it froze at 99% with 3 files remaining. When I launch it now, even as admin, it says downloading 0 kb/sec, 0% with 3 files remaining. How can I fix this?

There’s the repair command

start the game with “gw2 -repair”
You could also try to download the game from another source. Easy to find with Google. Check that it’s reliable first, don’t get hacked or something like that.

edit: I just saw this, changing dns worked for someone

If I launch it with the repair command will it completely restart the download?

no, it will download all remaining files

i’d say just turn off and on your pc

Well I’ve gotten it down to 2 files remaining, from the repair and luck probably.

just be paitient and if u can’t download it Youll probably find it on Torrent sites, it’s always faster to dl newest version or patches alone

Whenever I launch it, it’s like it tries to download but it loses the connection. I don’t know why it downloaded those 2 files earlier. I’m hesitant to download it from another site because I’ve had some bad experiences in the past.

I just got it down to 1 file! Random click ftw.

I got it working! It had a problem with my router apparently, but I fixed it. Thanks for the help!
