Hi, Gaily

Do you have any new information about the issue?
I just run GW2.exe with -repair argument.
But the issue is still unsolved.

Below is a content of VerifyResults file
I hope it will help you.

Hi guys,

I’m also experiencing this issue. It does not give me an error message, it just throws me back to the launcher.
I’m in South Africa.

The repair option doesn’t fix the problem and I cannot connect to the VPN.

Thanks

Hi. The problem is urgent! Cannot download updates. Writes that there is no Internet connection. VPN does not help – the same thing happens. Repair is also not working((

Please put here the actual GW2.exe for download. I and other users try using it to download the updates.

We do agree, this is a very urgent matter and while we know that some players have things all fixed up now, others do not. Tracking e-mails amongst the programming team, and they are working kitten this even at this late hour, shows they are researching the matter and discussing how best to mitigate the problem. We know the VPN solution mentioned by Earthrune in this thread works (for some, not for others), and we’d like an easier solution for you, one that works for all. Therefore, the work continues: Research, analyze, review, discuss, solve. (Believe me, if it’s quiet, it’s not because people aren’t working on this — they are!)

We really do apologize for the inconvenience. Incidentally, the team is taking steps to try to ensure that this doesn’t happen in the future, so short-term and long-term solution is in their view.

Thanks a bunch for your patience!

Thank you for the assistance and attention given to this error.
My husband also was still unable to play (connecting from South-Africa), however the VPN solution below corrected the issue and we can now play just fine without it.

The solution is to download a VPN run it and the client will begin updating. Once the client begins to download you can shut down the VPN.

This is what I am using. http://download.cnet.com/CyberGhost-VPN/3000-2144_4-75145993.html?tag=mncol;5

This is ridiculous, it’s the same issue my brother and I had on the last patch. Both of us have the same issue again. The gw2 launcher client is not patching the GW2 game correctly.

The error I get after I select my character and click log in is below, posted screen shots.

I hope it will help you.

Yeah I saw that right after I posted. Last time I had to download the game at work, and bring it home on external media, to fix this issue. I don’t mind doing that every now and then. But if it’s every time the game patches, we got a problem. I/we have been playing on and off since launch, and never seen this one until just this month, I had to do that on 14th, so whatever patch was right before that.

Here are some instructions from the Guild Wars 2 Programming Team (bless ’em!) that should help resolve this issue for players who are experiencing it:

1. Locate your Guild Wars 2 shortcut

2. Right-click and select “Properties.”

3. In the “Target” line, after the string for your GW2.exe, add this string (after a space:
-assetsrv assetcdn.101.alternate.arenanetworks.com

Here is a correctly formatted example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe” -assetsrv assetcdn.101.alternate.arenanetworks.com (there are no quotation marks on the added string)

4. Run Guild Wars 2.

5. Remove the added string afterwards. It no longer is needed once you have patched.

6. Please update this thread if you are continue having difficulties. When you post, let us know if you tried the VPN alternative as well as the added string in your Target line.

Thank you again for your patience.

No dice so far, ping to that CDN looks good, latency 50ms. It just loads per normal as if there was no patch, straight to the logon prompt. I double checked, still the same version of the game. Brothers computer as well.

I played around with that url string, if you change it at all the game tries to connect to the patch server, but will not load. So either it connects and “works” or it errors out, pretty simple. http://i.imgur.com/JFvWFsb.jpg

Hi Gaile, I tried using the command line argument, but it seems to cause Error 58 instead and removing it doesn’t seem to help any (or maybe the login server is just down when I try it). Could you ask the team to try with a dolyak sacrifice this time? :p

Thanks for the hard work for you and the team, by the way, even if it hasn’t really solved it for some others.

Gaile, Your advice with -assetsrv still is not working.

And seems, the situation getting worse, now we are getting login server connection failure.

I’m really curious, why you can not give the direct link on a patched client so that users can manually download latest version of gw2.exe?

Well, it seems that whatever was sacrificed to the Six Gods after my last report went well and the launcher managed to update the game build to Gw2: 27836. I’ve just logged into Lion’s Arch and all is good.

I didn’t use the VPN and had the -assetsrv command line argument when I started the launcher that made it patch (now removed per instruction).

Thank you for all the hard work, ArenaNet, and have a very Merry Wintersday!

I mean, Christmas.

I’m from South Africa (playing on a US server if it helps), and I also keep getting the error code 58:11:5:512. I have tried the repair, network diagnostics, and the the thing you suggested, none of which worked. And the VPN gave me a virus which I had to remove. Are there any other fixes?

Tried the “-assetsrv assetcdn.101.alternate.arenanetworks.com” solution and it did not work. Same “code=7:11:3:191:101” error. It is really frustrating getting disconnected every few minutes. If this issue does not get solved soon, I am quitting the game all together.

Update: after the “code=7:11:3:191:101” error I get redirected to the character select menu. From there, I get the error 58.

Ok, so two of the Error 58’s and one of Error 7, plus the earlier reports. 58 and 7 are quite different, so I’ll ask one of our good programmer folks to review this.

Thank you for posting — it will help us resolve this for you!

And I wanted you to know that a goodly number of team members are active in an e-mail thread about this (even into the wee hours of the morning), and they are working to get this sorted. It’s a pesky issue — you can tell that — but they’ll get it fixed.

Hi Gaile. I’m from South Africa too. Aurora Glade server. Game build 27381. Error message 58:11:5:512 being reported each time I try to login. Ran the client with the “-repair” command added to exe, didn’t help. Tried the “-assetsrv assetcdn.101.alternate.arenanetworks.com” command, that didn’t help either. Tried restarting the client and then the pc, also no luck. Would really like to be able to play again, please advise.

SA Player too – Desolation server.
Successfully played on the 22nd last time.

Last night (23rd) had the client restart problem after logging in at first.
Did a system restore this morning (24th), thinking it was installs / updates. Didn’t work. Got the Error message 58:11:5:512 after system restore.
Getting the Error message 58:11:5:512 still now, even after undoing the system restore.
-repair doesn’t work, CyberGhost5 VPN suggestion doesn’t work, restarting client & PC doesn’t work.

Then tried the -assetsrv assetcdn.101.alternate.arenanetworks.com in the target line, and it downloaded the patch.

And I am happy to say, it works now!! Thanx a lot ArenaNet!

It sounds like there are multiple issues going on based on the symptoms being reported. For clarification, the issue I was describing yesterday which I resolved by bypassing my proxy cache for “assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com” was as follows:

  • Launch the game and log in. No update notification and errors.
  • Game loads and comes up to the character select screen. No errors.
  • Select any character. Map starts to load and eventually exits back to the launcher with no errors.
  • Rinse and repeat.

If I hit F11 once we got to the character select screen, the game was reporting the previous build (27,495) rather than the current build that I was seeing on my machine (27,836).

Again, no error message was ever displayed – the game simply seemed unaware that an update was available and (I’m guessing) bailed out when it realized that the server and client versions mis-matched and exited back to the launcher to try to grab the update that it couldn’t see.

Here is how to correct this issue. After work by the programming team, it’ll be this simple:

But for those of us (like me ) who like a full step-by-step, here is it:

  • Shut down Guild Wars 2 if it is running
  • Download the latest gw2.exe from the following link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/transfer.ncplatform.net/Gw2.exe (For security, you can verify that you are going to the right link by hovering over the URL.)
  • Open your download folder which now contains your Gw2.exe
  • Locate the Guild Wars 2 shortcut used to launch the game
  • Right-click and select “Properties.”
  • Copy the Target path, which may look something like: c:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\gw2.exe
  • The part excluding the gw2.exe is your gw2 install directory. From the example above it would be: c:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\
  • Hit the “Windows” and “R” keys on your keyboard at the same time. This will open a “Run” window. Type the path to the install directory in this window, and hit “OK” (or press “Enter”).
  • Now drag the gw2.exe from the download directory to the install directory
  • If you are asked to approve anything, via approval pop-ups, you may need to enter your admin password to approve the copy.

And here’s a shorter version of the instructions that accomplishes the same thing:

  1. If running, please close Guild Wars 2 completely.
  2. Download an updated revision of GW2.exe using this link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/transfer.ncplatform.net/Gw2.exe
  3. Once downloaded, please move this file to your Guild Wars 2 installation folder. (Default location should be C:\Program Files(x86)\Guild Wars 2) (When prompted to over-write the existing file, click “yes.”)

With this fix, you do not need to use the –assetserv flag from last night.

Please post if this does not work for you, but with a fresh EXE you should be good to go!

Thanks again for your patience and understanding! Now, get out there and do some Wintersday celebrating!

Glad this is working, guys! Do keep posting to let us know all is well, or give us any update on a situation that is less-than-cleared. ~cross fingers~

(And thanks for the kind words, Z, but it’s really all about the programmers who did this, I just posted a few times with all their programmer-y goodness. However, pro tip: If “Gaile” is a derivation of “Gail” which is, I’m told, Welsh for “father’s beloved daughter” don’t do a “he” on this one, eh? )

Well, now I managed to break the launcher. I have no idea if my issue is related to this issue or different.

So yesterday I checked Windows Update and noticed an ATI/AMD update. After installing this, I noticed my screen no longer froze up (or as often) and I could at least play for longer periods without everything locking up – somewhat playable. A Windows Update made things better.

Today, I noticed more Windows Updates and installed them. Now the GW2 download client sits at 0 KB/0 KB. And I can’t close the launcher, I can only crash the launcher. I’ve tried everything suggested here except the CyberGhost VPN, yet, though I’m debating if I should just re-install GW2 from scratch.

Summary: Played GW2 today > installed Windows Updates > Launcher broken. My bad – I know better than to keep Windows updated.

Zero expectations, high hopes. – Moonset

My problem may be caused by something else, but here it is:

I had downloaded and run the game normally after yesterday’s patch, but after attempting to install my new headset, the game started crashing on launch. I’ve tried uninstalling all of the headset drivers and detaching the headset from the computer, but the problem persists. I’m in the middle of re-installing at the moment. I’ve tried the -repair command line, -assetsrv command line, and the replacement gw2.exe fixes, but neither has worked.

The problem I am experiencing is that the launcher starts and shows that there’s no files to download and update for a moment, and then goes to the main launcher normally. I am able to log in normally as well. However, when I press the play button to launch the game, the game opens up to the full normal window size that I play at and immediately crashes. It crashes at the same spot each time.

I didn’t save the whole error log, but I sent the bug report, and here is the small section that I saved:
assertion: dims.x && dims.y
