Vavume.8065 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Firstly I'm hit with a 2.6g patch that takes me 2 and a half hours to download before I can start, then I'm clicking on the first story portal for another 2 hours trying to get it to start, 5 hours since launch and I'm still stuck in LA, yeah great launch...

gungcho.7382 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Could be worse :) With more crashes and the game being absolutely unplayable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 At least you loaded! I'm close to 5 hours in and still have 5630 files to go. I'm starting to wonder if it's showing a DL speed without actually loading any files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jana.6831 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If you don't have a x KB or MB/sec, then it probably isn't downloading. Otherwise the files might just be very large, depends on how long your DL is stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helbjorne.9368 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The amount of bugs with Path of Fire is ridiculous, a lot of which would have been avoidable if they did any QA testing. If only they had 2+ years to develop it... Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikuchan.7261 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Would you prefer the patch to be 200 MB and not have any content? :DAs for the speed, I got 10-20 MB/s almost constantly, so that's more an issue with your connection.The loading screen fail and instance create fail though is a bit problematic I can agree with.Though they're working on fixing it.

Veprovina.4876 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 There's an invisible wall in blocking the chak HP in Auric Basin. xDThe expansion brought bugs everywhere. It's normal though, wait a few days and the devs will sort it out with patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgarMTanaka.7291 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I must be lucky, except from one small crash and one point where I got Network error and had to reload for about 8 times before I could play again, I havent had any major bugs. The one bug I ran into was that mine and others mounts took a few seconds to disapear after decending into water.I hope you all will be able to play soon, the game is wonderfull in my opinion, though now I have to go to sleep.Edit: Oh by the way, if you are having problems with updating. I got stuck at 76%, I just restarted the client and it took 10seconds to update the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jana.6831 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 14 mins for the whole patch. with ~3 MB/SEC. I have cable and I guess it'd be worse with slower connections, but I guess the problem might be with your provider and not with anet.Good luck though.

Menadena.7482 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Three crashes to character select so far, each time I lost drops/content credit. The REALLY vexing one was when an exotic with a new skin went poof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otoh I just tried my regular launcher link instead of the workaround I've had to use to access the game (normal shortcut had the launcher just hang as a blank window) and that a) worked and b) hasn't gone to 0 speed for more than a moment at a time so there is hope. C'mon, c'mon 5629 files to go, I know you can do it, patcher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donari.5237 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 My memory of HoT was that it loaded very fast and I was playing almost immediately. I don't know what the issue is today. stares at that stubborn 5630 files remaining with weary resignation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embered.5089 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Maybe you just tried to open the game during that flood time when everyone's rushing to see the new stuff. Just a few hours later and I downloaded everything within a few minutes and had little trouble in loading screens. My laptop's an old one, too, one that I have to play GW2 on minimum graphics with >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by this thread https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/3149/path-of-fire-story-instance-error-instancecreate-failed-error-1036/ it seems a lot of these issues are on EU servers. Might be something that went wrong when the servers went down briefly, since a few of the early downloaders in EU have been able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boysenberry.1869 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If you're really lucky you get to visit the Crystal Desert and then randomly crash, losing all items/progress you made while running around on the map! Oh, and you're also kicked back to Lion's Arch. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
