Hey everyone I’ve tried reinstalling GW2 PC version several times from the website, but it keeps going to 1 file remaining and stopping. Any ideas to fix this? I have turned off my firewalls etc to try to let it go, still nothing.
Hi ronpierce – I’d like you to first locate and delete your local.dat file which is located in your Documents > Guild Wars 2 folder. Once this is done, reboot your computer and launch Guild Wars 2 again. After seeing the 1 file remaining message, a secondary protocol should kick in to download the file from the backup system, usually takes about 10 minutes.
If after 15 minutes or so and the download doesn’t kick in, I’d try the workaround suggested by other players which would be to change the language for the launcher (at the top right corner) and see if the download completes. You can change it back to your original language once it does and you should be able to log in and play again.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
