Guild Wars 2

Things that I’ve tried to get the client to download:

-Ran the GW2Setup file as administrator.
- Turned off the firewall
- Disabled UAC notifications
- Used Spotflux VPN
- Ran traceroute
- Used another download site (atmoicgamer.com)
- Contacted my ISP about a downloading inquiry.
- Repeatedly opened the setup program only to see the “Download Failed!” error.
- Tried using a different internet source.
- Tried using Download Accelerator Plus to download the game.
- Made GW2Setup.exe an exception for Norton anti-virus.

Nothing I’ve done has worked. I still cannot download the client.

Also I live in California and use AT&T U-Verse. I contacted them about the issue and they said that everything is working properly on their end. They cannot identify the problem when trying to connect to ArenaNet’s servers.

Did you turn of firewall in both windows and modem or router.

Anything to do with firewalls have been turned off.

Download the latest drivers for your graphics. Your not giving too much info on whats going on so thats all i can suggest. Had the same this morning after i reinstalled. Realized i didnt have any drivers installed for my graphics card.

Could still be caused by no drivers for your graphics card. Or you could try installing it on a different harddrive.

I have the same problem .

Try uninstalling your firewall/internet security software. Norton is known to do this. I’m sure it’s just a configuration issue, but uninstalling it will probably resolve the issue.

Edited to add: Turning it off is not enough. It actually still functions despite being turned off.

Done that , but still don’t work

Both OP and robi,

Could you both post you system specs?

game worked perfectly without any problems . what you specifically want to know about system specifications?

Well I could not tell if you had been able to play.

But the game has been know to not even download if the requirements aren’t met. That’s why I asked for specs.

amd athlon II x2 250 3.0ghz
4gb dd3
ATI Radeon HD 3850 – 512mb

SOLVED !!!
I have uninstalled all recent programs and it’s working now again.

So…you had software conflicts (which is fairly common) but you blamed GW2 (also fairly common)…got it.

This is ONE reason that I often recommend disabling Start-up programs using MSCONFIG. In fact; ANY gaming machine should be setup this way, but TOO MANY people (evidently) seem to think that it isn’t important.
