Guild Wars 2

this worked for me hopefully it helps others

I’d like you to first locate and delete your local.dat file which is located in your Documents > Guild Wars 2 folder. Once this is done, reboot your computer and launch Guild Wars 2 again. After seeing the 1 file remaining message, a secondary protocol should kick in to download the file from the backup system. This usually takes about 10 minutes.

this is a rather frustrating problem
and it certainly doesn’t help getting automated responses
i have read across different sites numerous " fixes " and really none are doing jack

i have tryed a total of 4 install / reinstall here in last 3 hours

from link above and from site here both w same results stuck @ 99 %

apologies if this is posted elsewhere

download stuck @ 99 %

goes through the d/l then sits @ 99% with 1 file to d/l

goes no where from that point

thank you

support ticket in as well
