This showing up for anyone else when trying to run Gw2Setup.exe? Why has the download failed? I've tried multiple times, but this keeps showing up. Anyone got some advice here?

Mine isn't moving either. >.<

Check your firewall settings, perhaps it's not allowing GW2 proper access.  Perhaps you already have the proper downloaded materials and don't need a further download for now?  Also, make sure you have enough space for the files to download to.  I know there are some 220,000 files for download I don't remember what the exact total usage for memory is.

Don't feel bad just tried it, and it's not working.  I wouldn't worry probably a small bump in the road to greatness for the game.  They have 5 days to get it fixed, I'm not worried.

It's doing that for everyone.

[Azure Skye]

Is this big update we are for or the precursor to it? *scratches his head*

[Shasow]

If it's doing it for everyone, then that would make more sense. I had Guild Wars 2 installed before (so it's not my firewall; my firewall has never been an issue). I'm re-installing it because there was an update that was refusing to download more than 0-1 KB/s. I also have more than enough room for it.

[heatzzz]

Same, I'm having the issue.

[Doggy Chicken]

Failed for me as well, but I wouldn't worry since it was deployed less than an hour ago.

If you use the Windows Run command and paste: "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -useoldlauncher

Assuming that's where you installed the game, it will run and download, but very slowly. It worked for, me at least.

I don't get the error, but when downloading big updates the launcher just goes for like 10-20 secs than just stop downloading. Try to open the launch again, but it doesnt save. I pretty much have to reinstall the whole thing which seem to fix it everytime.

[Shasow]

The only files downloaded by Guild Wars 2 is in the folder with the main files (the launcher, etc.) and in the documents folder under "Guild Wars 2", right? Also, what's the Local.dat file in the Guild Wars 2 documents folder for (I'm guessing user preferences?)?

Yeah, starting today my borther and I (We both have the game fully donwloaded) are having a problem where we can't get passed the client Checking for Updates, so it might not be your problem, it could be the servers are down or something.

[Azure Skye]

Don't tell me, i have to reinstall the game now. >.< I won't cap me (it will take crap load of time to download it again) but it will for others.

[dreighver]

I opened the client and received an update without signing in. It's still updating, and was going at a good clip, but has now slowed down to 30-40 kbs.

I think it's a universal issue.

same thing here, flicking 1 to 0 kbs.. odd, first time the updater has had problems for me

[dreighver]

Just dropped to around 0 kbs, only to spike back up to the 30-40 range.

Something odd is definitely going on.

Well shit.

Tried to sign in on the launcher and got an error message. The client immediately closed.

Bizarre.

I put -useoldlauncher at the end and its now downloading normally, well its still going slow but i got passed the error.

If everyone's getting this issue, I'm sure it'll all be good within a day or so. They're not gonna let a problem(assuming this is a problem, and not a product of some server update or something they're doing) go on this close to release day.

[Arava]

Had the same issue - but now it's working again

[heatzzz]

Let it run for few mins then it will get into the patcher screen, I'm downloading now.

[Shasow]

Seemed to be working for a second, but it just crashed and is now showing the same error message.

[dreighver]

I think the fatal error issues I had that caused the patcher to crash was a result of attempting to sign in while the update was occurring.

I reopened the launcher and I'm chugging back along on the update.

I was downloading the new patch in the background.  I went to check on it and it said there was a connection problem and the download was interrupted.  So I closed the patcher and reopened it only to find that it wouldn't download at all.  I checked my connection and firewall and Internet Security programs and nothing seemed to be wrong on my side, so I figured it had to be a problem with the A-Net download servers.

I then tried using the old launcher, like this:

Doggy Chicken is right.  It will allow you to download this way, but it will be sporatic.  It will download at your full speed, then slowly dwindle to no speed, then spike back up again.  It will slowly download off and on like this until you have the whole patch.  Kudos to Doggy Chicken for pointing this out.

[Aurionin]

JUST started working again for me.

[ChaoticKontrol]

I just closed it and restarted it, it had a minor issue, but now it's downloading fine, maybe they had a small server glitch.  Mine seems to be working fine now, and I didn't use the old file name or anything.

I think they released a small patch to fix the download issue not to long ago.
