Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, found a workaround to get the patch for 64 bit client from reddit, here are the steps to get it working

- Open the command prompt (start > run > cmd)
- type nslookup followed by assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com (right click paste to paste the domain name as ctrl + V won’t work) make sure there is a space between nslookup and the domain name
- Hit enter and note the IP it gives in the cmd prompt
- Right click your GW2 64 bit exe, go to properties
- on the target line, at the end of the line put -assetsrv followed by the IP from the command prompt
- Your target line should look something like this > \Gw2-64.exe -assetsrv IP

Make sure there is a space after exe and after srv before you add the IP
- Click apply, close and launch GW2 again, it should now patch properly for you

The reason you use the command prompt to get the IP is because the IPs for the servers change continuously or something (not sure, didnt read the reason)

Hope this works for you all

Note you won’t be able to download the patch at 1-3kb/s because according to DrStephen on reddit -

‘Yup, sorry 64-bit client is not patching. That 1k or 2k a second is probably the error code – it’s never going to finish! We’re working on fixing it.’

Meaning right now it’ll run endlessly and you’re not downloading the patch, its just repeating an error code attempt.
