Same for me, patches won’t download properly. Tried disabling firewall and AV and ran gw2 as admin, but no real progress was made; files start downloading for a few mins and then it dies on me. Launcher trying to do something, consuming 33% of the CPU but nothing shows.

Using NOD32, never given me any trouble before. SSD would be nice indeed, but that will have to wait until I’ll get me a proper desktop PC; laptops are a hassle to upgrade :P
I’ll start with a reinstall of the game, but I’m not desperate enough for a gw2 play yet to wipe the OS.
Thanks for trying to help me

Did as you suggested. Didn’t uninstall my AV though, merely disabled it, and ran it as admin. Seemed to work at first; could log in and the download started. When I checked on it 10 mins later it had stopped Had downloaded some 31 MB of some patch at least.

Haven’t played the game for months and decided to play a bit again but was forced to halt my efforts when the launcher fails all attempts at patching all the patches I’m missing.
Some 17 thousand files are apparently in need of download, yet the launcher is stuck at 0.00kB/s and doesn’t bugde at all. Tried to disable all my firewalls and still no reaction. Problems logging in into the launcher as well, mostly it hangs and stops responding, forcing me to kill the process, resulting in a archive scan upon next boot before trying, and failing, to download any patches.
I once succeeded loggin in, but still no patch began downloading, still 0.00 speed.
Baffled at the problem. Have experienced slow patching before, when it took a while for it to pick up speed, but it’s dead in the water here.

Is it the servers? I fail to see what’s wrong on my end?
