Alysm.5864 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 When ever I start up the launcher and try to get the latest patch my download start at 9-10mb per second, then it drops to 0kb/sec and just sits there. I tried various things like adding -assertsrv and -clientport but nothing seems to work, it just has the same problem. https://imgur.com/Bgfuum0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely your firewall blocking the Gw2-64.exe - with good firewalls, you need to reconfirm a program once it's updated. See that you set your firewall settings to manual confirmation so that you can re-permit the game's executable connection access. The same goes for your antivirus' behavior shield (put the game exe in the list of exceptions). You could also try to [repair the client](https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/201863008-Repairing-the-Game-Client "repair the client"), if it's not a firewall issue. I can't think of any other reason to cause this issue than those two, unless your drive is full. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alysm.5864 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Thanks for the help but I added a firewall exception and turned off anti virus to the same results. I had also done a repair prior to the original post. Drive have 1.64 TB available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alysm.5864 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 I don't know if this helps but I seen it recommended to go behind a vpn, so I downloaded tunnel bear and it worked but you only get 500 mb free with that software and I don't feel having to spend money on a vpn software is a reasonable solution.

Healix.5819 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Using a VPN has generally been required, with it commonly being an ISP related problem. Rarely it's been a sever problem, in which case the primary server (below) will always work, while the other cause has been software related. When using a free limited bandwidth VPN, note that you only want to enable it to get past where you're stuck. For TunnelBear, if you run out of bandwidth, simply create a new account. For the -assetsrv option, try the primary server (currently 52.21.161.58 and 18.204.53.64). The IP changes regularly, so to look it up, open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and enter: nslookup origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com 1.1.1.1 Note that the -clientport option doesn't apply to patching. GW2 downloads on port 80 using standard http. To rule out most other software, reboot into safe mode with networking enabled (WindowsKey+R > msconfig > boot) and try patching. To also reset your network interfaces, open a command prompt and enter: netsh int ip reset netsh winsock reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
