Opopanax.1803 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 On Windows 7 64 bit. Reinstalled a new HDD and had to download a new install of GW2. After getting through most of the install to playable, the launcher will no longer download more than about 2000 MBs. I have about 150,000 MB left... It will download some, but I never get progress on the bar and it will only go down by 2-3k each time I launch it... I have done several things to fix this: cleared data cache addressed windows network throttling re-labeled Gw2.exe file Repaired Gw2 Wondering what else I can do? Link to post Share on other sites
Healix.5819 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 There's a bug with the patch servers that can cause them to host corrupted files, resulting in GW2 getting stuck. You can fix it by using the primary server: https://imgur.com/a/8HA67lK 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I would expect some kind of IP adress instead to get to one of those Primary Servers. Link to post Share on other sites

It's an album of 3 pictures plus descriptions, showing how to find and set the current IP (it changes frequently). Alternatively, here's the full text version. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
