> The log you posted only shows that the launcher was started. GW2 only periodically writes to the log and on exit, so you need to let it download for at least a few minutes, then exit. If you did do this and it still looks like that, then GW2 is failing to even create a connection, which was what the QoS/IPv6 problem looked like.

Right click your GW2 shortcut and select properties. You add the options to the end of the target, making it look something like this:

 

"C:\Example\Gw2-64.exe" -image -assetsrv 54.84.216.160 -patchconnections 1

 

Also, most people can just use the "-assetsrv 54.84.216.160" part of it.

 

> so i cant leave it on cuse it makes my internet crash on the pc and make me reset my router.

 

This is generally caused by opening too many connections (tracked by the NAT), causing the router to run out of memory and crash/reboot. Normally GW2 would open 10 connections and reuse them, but it's probably abandoning the connection and opening a new one instead when it fails a download. It shouldn't be enough to crash a newer router (>10k connections), whereas it's easy to crash older ones (~100 connections).

Deleted the GW2 cache and disabled QoS before trying this and IT WORKED! The -assetsrv argument alone did not work in my case, so the rest seems to be important.

 

Remember to switch back to the regular launcher after getting past the file you are stuck on - for speed.

looks like it works with -assetsrv 54.84.216.160 for me so big thumbs up for that

Thank you Healix.

 

Being trying to update all day after a new build of my system and it just was going nowhere.

 

it is now at least downloading but it is very slow. Still goes from 3MB to 0 and then starts again but at least the files remaining figure is actually moving downwards now.

 

Oh well only 237503 to go

THIS bloody advice is all I needed. I'll admit it's a bit tedious swapping back to delete appdata files and putting argument lines back in to the launch target, but hey this worked for me where all else failed. Thanks dude!

 

This fixed it for me too, Thanks so much

Hello guys, just another person with installation issues here. It first got stuck on 53% and I tried downloading it over again like 4-5 times but nothing. After this thread I tried the QoS thing wich got me past 53% but instead got stuck on 90% wich is driving me nuts. I'm in contact with the support team atm but still nothing.

 

You guys were talking about -assetsrv 54.84.216.160 something? Can anyone give me a full descripstion on this? What do I change/download/fix?

Sorry to necro this post, but I have tried everything here, and even tried using a VPN to download. The game downloads past playable, but then stopped at 86%, now when I restart the launcher, it just hangs at 0% and no files are downloaded, despite it showing a download speed. I have tried everything here and am at a loss.
