GOD HIMSELF.4152 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 my issue is while the launcher is open the files remaining doesn't go down but when I close it and reopen the files remaining has been reduced. Anyone has the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clementine.9821 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 ugh this is kinda frustrating. I started playing gw2 last year, this is the first time this happened to me. I see alot of people having this issue but why Arenanet doesnt notice it? I did a fresh install of windows 10 to my computer. Then when Im reinstalling the game I came accross this issue.... ANET pls...@"GOD HIMSELF.4152" said:my issue is while the launcher is open the files remaining doesn't go down but when I close it and reopen the files remaining has been reduced. Anyone has the same issue?Yes I'm having the same exact issue as you. The client downloaded the game smoothly until it finished the "Playable" part and then 30% ish after that my files remaining on the client is stuck at 300k files. download is at 3MB/sec but sometiems drops to 0 and goes back up to 3MB/sec again but yea, when I close the client and re open it again the remaining files are reduced... Im gonna obeserve and will update if it progresses(I hope). btw Im using the -assetsrv 52.202.5.88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I think the assetsrv changes weekly. Have you checked if it is current? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, that IP is expired - it usually changes every few days.Instead, you can edit the hosts file. Search the start menu for notepad, right click it and run as an administrator. Open:C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsAt the end, add the following line, then save it:35.170.210.77 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.comRemove this after you're done. Ideally, you only want to use this IP for as long as it takes to get past where you're stuck - expect it to be slower, since it's the primary US server.For future reference, lookup the IP using cmd.exe:nslookup origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com 8.8.8.8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clementine.9821 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Just to add, you can use VPN like TunnelBear (cough LTT) sign up to get a 500mb or 400mb thats enough to bypass that corrupted file after that you can remove the VPN and resume the download.

themediator.7902 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I had the same issues in June 2020. Nothing above worked so I deleted the gw2.dat file and let it download again. This solved the issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentarozzo.5491 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Started the download for the 4th time... no -assertv no cdn no IPV is letting me download this game. So sad I will not be able to come back and play GW2, because of an installer... omg... an installer not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloopydoop.7235 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) This apparently still seems to be happening , years later... my download got stuck at 23%, then closing and re-running the launcher, it was stuck back at 0% . I tried the command line arg trick in this thread, which did resume the download temporarily, but now it's stuck at 6%. Absolutely mindboggling that I can't even _download_ your kittening game... What an atrocious new player experience, how can I have any confidence in this game and not just write it off forever?
