[Skullie.1945]

I have purchased Heart of Thorns and entered the code but can not see where I can start the download...will this start automaticall when I enter the game?

I have just noticed that I do not have the expansion Path of Fire...would this be the reason Heart of Thorns will not download?

If you do not already have the game client installed you can find the download in your "My Account" page under the game content page located here:

https://account.arena.net/ or here without logging in to the account page: https://account.arena.net/welcome.

 

Once you install the client it will start updating automatically when you launch the client.

 

If you already had the client installed it automatically updates on launch as described above. Note, There is no separate download for expansions. It is all auto downloaded via the game client and if you have been playing GW2 recently there may be nothing more to download.

In other words, it is all one game client; _access_ to the content contained within the client is unlocked through purchases or other means (such as logging in for Living World Episodes when live).

 

There is, however, a way to only download what is needed and accessible after the initial game download; that would be in the Options panel under 'Streaming Client'.

 

Good luck.
