Guild Wars 2

All I’m thinking is, if it is restarting the download with the same files remaining, it should be keeping them somewhere. I think the first time I installed it, my computer restarted in the middle of the night and I went to resume the download and the files remaining started all over. At least in that regard, this is looking better than before.

If the downloader restarts at initial file count every time, it isn’t saving the files anywhere, like mine is now, it “appears” it is saving the files somewhere since I just restarted computer and it started the download back up in the same spot.

I’m just hopin’ it works, can’t think of anything else. You’d think the company would know something about it…

Hey, I know it is going to suck for you since you’re so far in, but I just restarted my computer and it started back up with the same files remaining to download.
If you want to, try closing out of the download, and if you restart it and it starts all the way back over try what I did up a few posts. It seems to have worked for me (hopefully)

I’m going to try restarting the computer. If it starts back up with same remaining, then I think I fixed it (hopefully our cases are the same)

I would say, see what happens if you close it out and then open the installation back up. Only bad thing is, I wouldn’t want it to start all the way back over for ya, but if it does start back over, then my fix up there may work. I can close my download and reopen it and it is still at the same files remaining as when I closed it.

The three files it put in the GW2 folder before were Gw2.dat, Gw2 the App, Gw2.tmp. After I did above, it installed a Local.dat in it as well.

Hmmm, I won’t know until it finishes the “10+ hour install”, but I just did this and so far I can close out the installation and when I start it up again it is starting with the same amount of files remaining to download as when I closed it. Before, if I closed it, it would start all the way over. Not sure if this fixed it, but here is what I did. (Won’t know until it’s over)

uninstall GW2/delete all the files you can find for it. Reinstall the GW2setup application. Right click on this and click “troubleshoot compatibility”. After this, I’m not sure. I clicked on “try recommended settings”. After all this, it actually installed 4 files in the GW2 folder instead of the 3 that it was before.

Something for you to give a try at least. I’m hoping it works.

Same thing for me. Actually, yesterday it downloaded while I was at work. Played it last night, even closed the program/restarted, still let me play. I even restarted the computer last night and brought it right back up. Now get home today and hit it, it starts redownloading/installing the entire 10+ hour deal! No clue what it is. One thing I do see is, the folder it is supposed to be installing to, only 3 files get downloaded to. It shows it downloading file after file, but the file it is supposed to be saving to only has the same 3 files in it the whole time. Not sure if it is downloading to some temporary folder somewhere?
