Guild Wars 2

Anyone know how big the new patch is? Usually my updates take seconds to download. This one is at 35mb and counting, slowly downloading, says 0%. It’s like it’s downloading the whole game again or something.

I have the same problem. It’s downloading in 15-30kb/s. According to a friend this is a 440MB patch so this is going to take awhile..

Same problem here, downloading with 50-150 kb/s on a 60 mb line …

I ran the game client as an administrator and it seems to be downloading at a much more reasonable rate. Try this, guys.

Would be nice if they published the size of the patch somewhere. What if people don’t have 500MB spare? I mean, I only have 180GB spare… It’s just too close for comfort!

But seriously it would be nice to know in advance so I could plan to do something else while it’s downloading.

And for people with data caps (thank god I don’t)

Are you sure it’s not just scanning the files you already downloaded the first time you tried? It’ll show you a download rate that’s actually how fast it’s scanning those files

[edit] I just tried this I it doesn’t in fact work for the remaining! The part I hadn’t already downloaded did so at ~1MB/s!!!!

I’m at 44mb downloaded, and it’s gone to 1%, so it’s around 3-5 Gigs. Luckily my internet’s somewhat decent at 450 kb/s, so it won’t take me too long

Edit

Neverfreakin’mind..The % doesn’t mean jack..At 40mb it reached 1%, then it reached 100mb and was supposedly 4%, and then I got to 110mb, and it went up to 5%..It’s now 130mb at 11%.

Lolwut.

I’m at 27% and it’s 60 mb downloaded. Also running as admin worked for me, went from ~120 kb/s to 600-1000 kb/s

percentage is based on the files not MBs, patch is ~430mb, i was not suffering slow speed didnt take more than 5mins to download it

I can also confirm that running Guild wars 2 as admin will speed up the download significantly.

its 560 MB in TOTAL

My download came out to around 440MB. After the gw2.exe patched itself.
