In notepad, open:C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hostsAt the bottom, add the following line, substituting the current IP you found:52.206.178.33 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.comSave it(don't forget to run notepad as admin,otherwise it won't save) and launch GW2. Remember to remove the line when you're done(i never did still works). This advice is from Healix.5819 and it works,i used it twice before in the past(after digging thru today i came across and remembered his posts ) and also helps with stuck downloading update and so on so forth. I can't thank you enough, you're a life saver man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muphinmahn.9680 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 @roughneck.8936 Thank you so much for sharing the post. This worked for me, however my file also happened to be empty so I went to microsoft's site https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-reset-the-hosts-file-back-to-the-default-c2a43f9d-e176-c6f3-e4ef-3500277a6dae and fixed the file. Then I added the fix you shared and it finally completed the download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
