As the title says the launcher wants to download 250+ files was completely up to date just yesterday. Is it redownloading the whole game? anyone no the work around for this?
The game can be doing one of two things, making sure the game files are intact, this generally goes much faster than downloading the game because checking a file is a faster task.
The other thing the game can be doing is downloading the game again, perhaps your gw2.dat became corrupted due to an unexpected shutdown or power outage. When the gw2.dat file becomes corrupted, you need to download it all again. The best practice to avoid this is to have a backup of the gw2.dat file. Then, instead of downloading the game again, you can paste the backup gw2.dat file over the corrupted one and patch up to the latest patch instead of downloading the entire game.
