    I don't think it contains sensitive information.  I just wouldn't trust that someone didn't insert a backdoor.

    I copy the entire GW2 directory between computers myself.  xD

     

    That's a very fair point, would be nice if ANet could provide us a "seed file" as a temporary solution so the patcher would not have to do that big initial download, it could download only patches after the .dat-file was dumped.

    You CAN copy the entire data file between computers (I wouldn't trust just anyone on the internet though).  The patcher doesn't because it doesn't want to download the entire game every time a patch is released.  It only wants to update your dat file with the changes. The patcher downloads many many many individual files and then patches and compresses them into the large dat file.  That's the main reason for slowness.  Has nothing to do with your network speed.

     

    Yea, I understand it downloads many individual files and how patchers work that it doesn't not have anything to do with my network speed. It's been 0 KB/sec for four hours now and downloaded only a few megabytes.

     

    Thought I could copy the dat file to my Backblaze B2 and share it here through my CDN, but as you mentioned, perhaps it contains some sensitive information and isn't wise to share with others.

     No idea I just noticed it today , never had this issue before. I dont think saw any Direct X updates in the patch notes.


    That is a good point that there was no mention about it in the patch notes. The same happened to me on Monday fairly often.
