Guild Wars 2

Also on Optus here – I had the same issue last night (and several weeks ago) – just closing the launcher and restarting it multiple times eventually resolved it.

Hosts file edits, VPN, reinstalling, removing files from the directory – patching then replacing files etc. – nothing worked for me.

All I can suggest is to keep trying with closing / re-opening the patcher when it stalls.

Had this issue with a previous patch a few weeks ago and again tonight.

I had tried using the following methods/approaches to fix:
– Google DNS
– Spotflux,
– Host file addition
– Removing all files in AppData / GW2 directory
– Re-downloading / re-installing

None of the above worked.
Tonight, I just kept closing & restarting the launcher and it eventually clicked over and I’m in now.

Saw in the other thread that there were a few other Australians – particularly with the Optus network that had the same problem.

Regardless, for anyone else experiencing the issue – just keep closing / restarting the launcher when it gets to 0KB/s.
