I was downloading between 200kb/s - 80kb/s. There is small breaks after every file, which leads to the average downloadspeed dropping to near 0. Its because you are downloading ALOT of smaller files. When you are looking at the "files left" you can see that it quickly goes down, then stops for a few seconds and then the number goes down again. They are proting alot of graphical things.Īlot of small things to be precise. Far from the speeds my 1 gig connection should be achieving.Īnet said somewhere that the current patching is in preparation to shut down dx9. It has increased the speed but is only 600kb/s. Ok nevermind I worked it out, I didn't add the space before pasting it after the target line. I'm having the same issue the download is taking forever, multiple client restarts hasn't affected the download speed and I don't fully understand all of the above solutions. To further increase it, you can launch GW2 with the option:Ĭan someone please put this in laymans terms? To find other IPs closer to your location, open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and enter: In notepad, at the bottom of the file, enter the following, then save:ģ.217.210.168 Notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts If the second is better, you can manually select a patch server by pressing WindowsKey R to open the run dialog, then copy/paste the following and press shift enter to run it as an administrator: If the first one is what you'd expect, there's not much you can do. You can test your raw speed by downloading Gw2-64.exe:įor comparison, here's the main US server: That said, if it's never going above 2MB/s, there's either something wrong, or your disk or CPU is struggling. GW2's download speed can be misleading since it's not actually displaying your raw download speed and it will occasionally drop into a low KB/s range when dealing with large batches of smaller files.
