Guild Wars 2

Morning everyone. I can’t download game. The speed on download is about 10 kb/s or nothing – connection error, retrying… Everything works very good, i have full internet speed and perfect ping. My Av software is disabled, but nothing helps. I’ve admitted these problems form yesterday. Can anyone help?
P.S i’ve got very stable and clean system without wiruses or worms.

i got the same problem. download speed goes randomly from 3mb/s to 0mb/s and most of the time stop download alltogether. it second day today, as i am trying to download it

I have the same, TODAY I BOUGHT GAME, I WANNA PLAY

me too, the same problem. i just want to play the GAME

Did you try the solutions provided in the Sticky at the top of the page?

Yes i did. It’s not helping

I have the same problem

Also have the same issue :’(

Same issue, giving up for now after 5 tries and having to start over from scratch each time… 50Mbit connection worthless…

Tried the Netsh cmd and running as admin, nothing works.

It is posable your ISP is detecting that it’s a large file and trying to throttle the connection or massive packet loss from one of the many nodes you have to go threw to get to the download server. Also what time of day are you tying to download if it’s prime time in your area try a different time like over night

I am having the same issue, it varies from about 2.3mbs to 0kbs or “Connection error(s) detected, retrying…” and I have tried at it at from 7pm to 10:30am, the entire time and nothing, I live in the UK

Edit: I also bought the game yesterday and this is a first time downloading it.
I have tried disabling both my Firewall and my Anti-Virus but to no avail.

i have the same problem, plase repair this fast !

Hey guys, same issue here….deleted the game a while ago now trying to re download. Its not the ISP or throttle or packet loss its the client side issues 100%….so yeah fix please….It downloads for like 50 sec at a few mb per sec then dies with connection error

Same issue here , speed goes from 6mbps to under 100kbps then that retrying message ugh anyone found a fix?

I’ve tried all of the suggested connection workarounds but none of them have worked.

Its an anet issue. Surprised they haven’t tried to resolve this issue as I would of thought selling a product and then not allowing people to download that product would be an issue which takes priority over all others.

yep i have the same issue.
I bought the game yesterday and since then i have been trying to install it but it’s just impossible… it goes from 3mg per sec to 0 kbs and it keeps getting the connection error.
Please fix this.

well after 2 days and a lot of restarts the download has stopped with 2 files left and no download speed what so ever the connection error now seems permament so close and yet so far away Grrrrr

FIX HERE.
Delete all of your gw2 files.
Download new application from guild wars2.com
Start it
????
Profit.

I bought the game yesterday as well, it’s now been downloading for almost 31 hours. Still have 37,500 files to go. At current speed that seems to mean about another 2-3 hours.

Much as I don’t like to complain… Seriously?

I have followed all advice. All security software and firewalls deactivated, run as admin, not a problem with my end as every other internet based application is runnning just fine. I get about 10-20 seconds of downloading at ~500kb/s and then tapers off to a connection error where it stays for about a minute. Rinse, repeat. To say that this is frustrating is an understatement. The rave reviews about this game are awesome, but I’m quickly losing patience with the download.

Simply put, the game had better be amazing.

The worst is yet to come. The download will freeze completely when you reach 2-6 files left. So you will never get to play the game until they fix it. They are unlikely to be even working on a fix though or they would of said by now I expect.

Well same for me here… i dont understand really… my friends are playing and i cant simply download it … they had it already install they only needed an updade so i am guessing that is everyone trying to download it from the start… its just download from 3 Mbs to 0 kbs…

I bought this game yesterday and I have the same problem here, I also left the PC on all night thinking that i would have find the game download compleated but the only thing I found this morning was disappointment. At least now I know I’m not alone. If anyone menage to find a fix (because obviously Areanet isn’t doing a kitten thing about it, or at least that’s what the internet says), please just let us know.

EDIT: I looked for other solution and I found out a couple of links where you can download the game client and it should work a little bit better then the GW2 downloader, so if you want give it a try:

I tried this and it’s currently working.

But i don’t want to use google dns…

Pretty sure anet just resolved this issue. Finally getting 5 MB/s

ANET PLEASE, I really want to play, you don’t answer me in e-mail and you “don’t know when you solve the problem” that’s just great.

PUT THIS LINE :
174.35.56.164 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com

INTO:
SYSTEMDRIVER/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/DRIVER/ETC/ HOST FILE.

WOAH, FINALLY after all solutions yours seems to be working (have 2Mbs but that’s still better than 1Kbs

Why not? Technically, you can use any DNS server you’d like, but it’s generally best to use one close to you.

I never have these connection issues, but I’ve been using OpenDNS for ages now (don’t trust that my ISP will keep their DNS servers up to date). If you want to try OpenDNS, here are the settings:

208.67.222.222
