Get the executable again, from the link you mention. Create a folder you want on D drive. Put the exe in it. Run it in that folder. See if that works. Dlenx • 6 yr. ago. Make it start to download into C and as soon as you can stop it. Copy the data that just downloaded into a folder in D and resume the download. Just as an FIY the github readme/front page/installation instructions still say you can use the Addon Manager to install the addon - but you say here (and on the the dx11 initial update release page) that you can only use the mod loader+wrapper for current and future builds. It only takes 20-26 sec on SSD. On regular non-winterdays LA, it takes 10-15s to load. Having your install on an SSD would be better, but there are other factors to consider. My install is still on an HDD, but I still load into things faster than half my guild, because of hardware and internet variables. 2023-01 The Account Linking feature for Guild Wars 2 is no longer reliably available. Added a new item to the Q&A addressing this, as the steps to link accounts are still correct when this feature is working properly. If it isn't, just try again later. 2022-11 Added a note about Guild Wars 2 accounts created via Steam being ineligible for The size won't change until it needs to make the file bigger. It probably couldn't read the file you copied properly, so it treated it as garbage data and is overwriting it. If you want to try again, rename Gw2.dat and try launching GW2 to confirm a new Gw2.dat is created, then exit and copy over the original Gw2.dat and launch with -repair. I tried the command you mentioned and it yielded no improvement: "G:\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.exe" -patchconnections 24 Also every other service manages to show total download size and/or estimated time to completion, even Torrents manage this and they explicitly deal with downloading individual files separately across multiple connections. Not sure what the actual issue is but a note for you as well as new players reading this. The % complete is the % of remaining files currently vs the % of remaining files the last time you started the launcher. That is to say, if you start the launcher and have 10k files left, download 25%, exit the launcher and restart, the launcher will start at 0% again, but the % will now be based on a Hello All:I am having a problem that should be an easy solve but isn't for me. I want to install the game on a game drive (E) but the installer doesn't prompt for a target drive change, I tried launching the installer from the E drive after putting it there manually..but no dice. The biggest difference in load time change for me was adding an ssd to run the game back when the 32 bit client was standard. The differences then were iirc 50-75 seconds to load from a 7200 rpm seagate barracuda w/ 32m cache vs 15-25 seconds on a Samsung 840 ssd for initial load in to the bank in LA. Based on the research I carried out yesterday, I discovered that if you install GW2 from the 2 DVDs that come with a physical pre-purchase of the game (in my case the CE) you will still need to download 2.4GB worth of updates in order to have the client at the build available on the 21st of August. The .dat will also be ~14GB in size once all GfbE5Vg.
