Guild Wars 2

It Worked!

I found an article that describes how to join the .js files into one .dat files but it was for linux users.

So I downloaded a file joiner and tried the same theory. The amount of data I needed to download went down and the game runs perfectly!

In case anyone is interested, I may have found a way to reduce the amount of files needed to download by manually adding the .js0 – .js4 files to the .dat file.

It’s worked in the sense that instead of 178000 files left to download I only have 75000.
The proof will be if the game works, so i’ll let you know when it’s done and working fine.

Is there a way I can direct it to pull it from the disc or should I rather try a different router to prevent the DC?

OK, so I have the boxed set and it has 2 installation discs inside.

I started the installation and it downloaded the launcher (+- 10MB)
Cool no prob with that.
I click on Install Guild Wars 2 and oops! computer is disconnected from the internet.

Reboot computer and DBL click on launcher.
Download starts for something like 227 000 files.
I’m assuming it’s a patch or something, but I’m 3,7 GB in and it’s still not getting anywhere! I’ve read the forums and I understand the % is for the number of files and not size, but everyone says it’s around 3,5 GB.

So my question/s is/are:
1. What caused the computer to drop internet connection. ( Tested this 3 times and each time it was the installer)

2. If I have to download the entire game why include 2 discs with just over 15 GB worth of data?

3. Can I do something to install the data from the disc first before downloading the patches?

I know I can log a ticket, but I’d rather make sure I’m not missing something simple first.

Thanks for any help! Can’t wait to play the game!!!
