manu.7539 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Possible solution: My knowledge of computer is very basic but I had and solved a similar problem when I changed my cumputer last year. The download of gw2 was constantly stopping after few secondes. I tried every Arenanet suggestions to solve the problem and it never worked. Then I tried Avast cleanup premium and poof, every problems were solved. Avast cleanup shut down all unnecessary program that runs in background (STEAM, Microsoft Edge etc). I guessed there was some conflict between some programs and gw2 but that was just a guess! Still worthy to try the free trial if it still available. Got very few lag, disconnections and my internet goes much faster since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashantara.8731 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 When you put GW2 on a different partition than the Windows one (especially _not_ into its programs folders), you should encounter zero issues with downloading the game or updates to it.

Autumn Sky.9763 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Downloading from Chile and tried every single alternative, yet none worked. Decided to try that TunnelBear VPN, and it seems to be working great so far, hope it doesn't get stuck once I run out of MB. They offer you 1 extra GB for free if you tweet tagging them, let's see how far can I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friday.7864 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Dumbest and most fool proof solution would be for someone to zip up their entire, up to date gw2 installation and upload it to some cloud share. You just download it, unzip to desired location and run the .exe file. Voila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me. It needs to be on SSD for me - means it's stuck with Windows. Don't feel like partitioning the SSD in two. D drive is HDD in my case and the performance there is just appalling. I have a copy on a relatively fast USB tho. Plug it in anywhere, run exe and it works lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You simply make two partitions on your SSD: one for Windows and one for your games. > Don't feel like partitioning the SSD in two. Your loss.

I use my HDD only for older games and another partition on it for backup of personal files etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply told people about a method that will work 100%, without any failed downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For practicality. ;) Unless you don't care that you will have to back-up everything each time you intend to re-install Windows. Also, it is easier and faster once done to download without any issues than have to use your method each time. I was merely trying to help. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
