try opening command prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns with your windows firewall off then if it downloads any updates then after it patches re-enable windows firewall

Is this for those of y’all experiencing “connection errors detected” when you’re trying to start up the game? Because that’s what I’m currently having issues with and restarting my computer did nothing.

yes if your downloading the new patches and keep getting low download speeds and then it hangs there for a few mins to secs then this helped some player some are still reporting it doesnt work….

have to disable windows firewall under control panel then also open command prompt and type in ipconfig /flushdns after the should say it was successfully flushed then open your guild wars launcher and it should downloader much faster and actually patch then after its done can re-enable your windows firewall

anyone here tried clearing their dns cache open command prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter works for those having issues with downloading the patch they posted today also disabling the windows firewall and then re-enabling it after you get the updates

i havent done the flushdns and i dont use windows firewall, or any firewall for that matter.

also if you used that reddit fix i suggest removing that from that host file

I am in Divinity’s Reach right now ingame as Hel Rising my level 18 Guardian

i wanna say the file was something around 22 or 33 mb didnt really watch it to much once it started i got on here and was posting what i did to get it to work

1.) if you ever used that fix from reddit before

Run As Admin Notepad
Open that File
Remove 74.35.56.164 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com
Save
It must not prompt you to save as a new file

2.) press windows key +R
type cmd
type ipconfig/flushdns

3.)Turn off windows firewall

4.) Launch gw2 launcher

5.) Hope it works for you, worked for me.

Thanks To Koga Phantom!

Your very welcome and would suggest to turn off windows firewall along with your antivirus firewall for future until a workaround can be made but after your patched and all the downloads are done you can re-enable those firewalls

have you ever used TeamViewer before i could try and get it working for you if you want just would have to download it if you dont already have it

easiest way i found out to get it back to normal is copy that file to someplace else then open it there and remove 174.35.56.164 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com from that host file then where it says file click that and choose save not save as… then copy that and past it back to the driver/etc folder and replace it with that when it comes up to overwrite

remove this from that host file 174.35.56.164 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com

try going back to this step

The Fix:
Edit C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts using notepad (run as administrator)
Add this line at the bottom: 174.35.56.164 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com

and remove that address and then open command prompt and do ipconfig /flushdns
then close it then disable your windows firewall and if you have a antivirus firewall running to try disabling it then once if it works then you can turn them back on after its done downloading and patching

i tried that manual fix just before but it didnt work so i removed it then i went into control panel and disabled my firewall and the one below it and it didnt have a problem after that downloaded around 950 kb/sec and i am in game right now can turn firewall back on after the downloading and patching phase is done and then log into the game

you can turn them both back on after it’s done downloading and patched for future updates i just suggest do that every time they release a update until someone finds a better workaround

Here all i did was disable windows firewall and it worked like a charm

this is what i turned off

if your using windows 7 x64 bit i just turned off windows firewall to see if that would work and it did downloaded very fast and is in the patch phase right now

yea i am having the same issues it downloads around 20 kb/s when my actually download package is 45mbps down 6mb upload but it downloads around that 20 kb/s then stops at 0 kb/s then i get connection error(s) detected Retrying… but it just stays there
