Jonathan.8905 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I will ad my issue here as well, as I cant re-install the game. Had to do an complete un-install due to game logging me in and when I hit the play button, game just closed and would not start. Only thing that changed for me in the last 3 years running gw2 was my isp is temporarily changed to spectrum from U-verse. I wont get my U-verse back until mid Feb, so it looks like i'm stuck.

BIG bad Bull.5690 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 was stuck too at 44k files remaining and each time I've started the launcher it would like say it downloaded 5G but the file remaining count stayed the same.As I live in Europe, tried the ns lookup with the non US server but to no avail. then decided to use the 54.x.x.x ip (main US server as shown above) and behold file count is dropping rapid and 0% is rising as I'm typing now only 2G is downloaded but below 29K files remaining, so hoping for the best.

ReActif.9251 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 So I'll say it again, I have a game that works very well but I've seen as many alerts of problems installing the game (and the term installation is not the same as update)Those who already have the game are not too worried, but this is the first installation, if you delete your game, and the temporary folder and try to install it again, you will see that the game client will not be able to recover the files and this has been going on for a while now.So it's currently a dead game or no one can come and install it again and obviously ArenaNet doesn't seem to care, it's pretty scary.Personally I did the test without even deleting my game, I just copied the file "Gw2-64.exe" on another hard drive and ran this one, it thought the game was not there and tried to recover the files and boom it blocks at 91%, 49100 files (it can vary depending on the computer).I have applied the proposed methods to change the asset server on the command line and it doesn't matter if I go through an A server or a B server of data, it doesn't want to retrieve the data or consider it corrupted at the source.From what I've been trying to see, either it's a wrong CHMOD on the remote server that makes the file unreadable to anyone but the server administrator (lol guys) or the last data sent to the servers was corrupted at source at ArenaNet and ArenaNet doesn't seem to be aware of it (and that would be much worse).Here you go, it's depressing to see so many posts and not even a single official response, there would have been one but it was unofficial it was just a copy of a message from an employee but not with an official account, so great what, it's still a mess in crisis communication (others say they're just all on vacation, even better what) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultramizer.1697 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 First time here, So Hi to all.... I had the same problem with reinstalling GW2 due to formatting my computer. Just want to say a big thanks to Healix.5819 for saving the day and my time to which I was going nuts, over why this was happening in the first place...

YourMammy.4278 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 My download has stopped once I pressed play before the download was complete, around 51%. Once I exited the game and opened the client to finish the rest of the installation my files got stuck. It would go down only by 6-10 files once I closed the client and reopened it. It got stuck at around 250k files. However the downloading MB was still going up and my speed would be around 1MB/2MB and drop straight to 0KB for a couple of seconds.What I've tried;~ Turning off QoS and turning on IPv6 for my network.~ Using the -repair command.~ Using the -assetsrv command with my suited IP address.~ And using a VPN.Nothing has worked for me and the files continue to be stuck.These are also my log files that might address the problem.

The current problem is with the servers, and chances are if one was affected, all of your local ones are also affected, so you won't be able to easily find a working one. You need to use origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com instead, which is the main US server - you only need to use it long enough to get past the files it's stuck on.

Fatsome.3471 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I just bought new MacBook Pro and I'm struggling with the same issue. Read the whole thread and nothing helped or I'm just bad with Mac (former PC user).So if there is simple way to tell what helps with Mac, I'm grateful.Can't find gw2.exe file in Mac so no idea where to put -assetsrv origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com.

ascendr.3052 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm having this issue today, too. Haven't played in months, but wanted to check in today. Unfortunately, the launcher won't even update itself.It sits at 0KB downloaded, occasionally flashing the "Connection error(s) detected. Retrying..."I've tried all of the advice on this thread. I've deleted my local client and tried a fresh installer from this website. I've tried forwarding the TCP ports listed here:https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015788327-Configuring-your-Router-and-Firewall-PortsI've tried changing my DNS server to 1.1.1.1.

Junktroep.9082 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I have a Sophos UTM at home with some web filter active. Some updates download fine, other update I switched to 4g to download. Today I decided to redownload the game and ofc it got stuck. Downloading 50gb over 4G not an option so I investigated. Ended up adding a filter option exception for ^https?://[A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.arenanetworks\.com/ and disable on this: Block by download size Antivirus Extension Blocking MIME Type Blocking URL Filtering Content Removal SSL Scanning Cert trust check Cert date check. After this I deleted all GW2 files and redownloaded the whole game without issues. Maybe if you have an advanced Router/Security Device at home, I hope some of the info above is of use.
