Like on Tuesday when the patch hit I was getting HTTP 502 Bad Gateway. If the IP address is wrong you'll see HTTP 400 error. You can view these errors in a Gw2.log file that gets generated if you add -log to the command line. IDK what your level of expertise is with regards to walking you through this. Yes. With a command line argument if you want to launch it via Steam or just create a desktop shortcut to launch it outside of Steam. I let Steam install it on my system and I just use a desktop shortcut. well it worked out for me i guess im gonna play this game off steam now its all downloaded took me a bit but its good now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam - Library - Guild wars 2 - Right click the game - Properties - Add "-provider Portal" to Launch options - Log in to your arena net account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin.5964 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 💥IMPORTANT Notice FOR Anyone installing Steam and official GW2 launcher💥 when you delete the steam version GW2 BECAREFUL, because it deleted my GW2 launcher folder too, so if your downloading the dat from steam then copy and pasting it to GW2 official launcher folder, then try to delete the GW2 steam version IT WILL delete that folder too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riwiz.9423 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I just hate that people need to do things like open the "Properties" and insert commands for the game to work or change internet settings or do other weird tricks to play the game. It's incredibly annoying and the fact that the team is promoting new in-game fashion items on the gemstore when hundreds of people can't even download the game is just INSANEEE! I mean i understand the marketing but guys...can't market a broken game, right? No news about solving problems just the typically "We know it's there and we'll eventually take care of it" WHEN? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurumihina.9605 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I solved it as follows. Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connection > [Your Ethernet] icon > Right Click > Properties > [QoS packet scheduler] uncheck it was downloaded at once until the end at a normal high speed.

lucka.9271 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 same issue here. it started at tens of mbs per second, until the "playable"part, now its stuck between 800-0 kb/s, usually 2 kb/s, or even 0 lol. just started installing it today, checked everything, internets good and pc too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the game from Steam, after the download go to library, select GW2 click properties and add -provider Portal to Launch options, after you do this you can use your gw2 account, not your steam account. If you see the download going back to 0-1kbps just re-open the steam game launcher ( the download progress will remain). Steam should move faster anyway than the old webpage launcher Edited May 5, 2023 by Riwiz.9423 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashina.5816 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 This is really frustrating. Not being able to download at all. And whatever I do, it won't download. And all they are saying is that they're working in it...... can't play at all. Fun times. I think i'll take a look back at WOW. 😤 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoopDozzle.3259 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Not too sure what happened or why it's even working now, but I changed the language settings on the launcher and now it's working for me, it made it passed the halfway mark and is playable now. 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have luck with that method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwo.9836 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Turn off Network QoS Packet Scheduler on your PC. :: Dildacorn CS:GO Group (steamcommunity.com) That solved my problem. Full speed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskras Femme.1693 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 And it seems like no solutions. Simply the launcher stops downloading the game and we have to restart it again and so on. This is an old problem, never answered in the official forums by ArenaNet. If anyone knows how to get around this or fix it? I thank. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full speed 🙂 I think it is co-incidental only. Turning off the QoS packet scheduler may improve your network connection performance but does nothing for when the CDN server is sending bad data.

Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I remember changing download source... There's a command line argument we can set in the shortcut target parameters.... Once u change source and finish downloading the update, u can remove the parameter.., forgot the exact usage.. but think I came across that from the forums or support pages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Red Killian.3946 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I just downloaded in new PC too last night. Download a lot, but still had a ton to download. Went to less than 1mb to 0 and never would download fast. Funny thing is I just hit play and there is enough downloaded it has never asked me once to download content during game. I figure at some point it might just download everything fast again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthuwho.7934 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Just adding to the noise here, but I am having the same issue and did the IP change stuff etc etc. Just wanted to remark that after sending a ticket it and see if they had any more direct insight after sending my logs - they basically told me "Yeah we know, anyway keep trying to restart it until it works" as they work on a fix.

Mizu Misa.8730 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 After a few years I am trying to download Gw2 again but the Launcher just loads to 13% then the download speed slows down to 1kb/s. There should be ample disc space avaiable... Any ideas what I can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
