Update ?

Well some updates popped up, im doing a -image update today so far like 10k files and every time the update finishes a new starts with the same amount of files ... is this the Cantha thing ? or some bug, 300+ mb so far

No update here (its 10.04am GMT) and there hasn't been since saturday

thats strange it was 10k files and i downloaded em 2 times and i do a -image after every update ... when i started gw this morning i had some 4k files so i stopped it and put -image

reinstall it, sounds like somethings fragged up somewhere

Strange. I got something downloading (it is 10Mb / 3% / 530 files left atm).
Two hours ago I logged in and out several times but there was nothing like update.

I just experienced something strange too....
When I loaded GW I got a big update. The game seems to have been rolled back or something. The ping icon has been removed, the old login button has been "restored", the version is now 19,-something and it's impossible to log on :S

EDIT: And now it has been removed again lol. Anyone know what's going on?

Im getting exactly the same thing.

A large download before you get to the login screen, with a download continuing then a code 058 error when i try to log in.

I also have had the same thing, but now I'm able to log in - but the download for the Guild Hall is sick.

-imaging right now. Am only at 1% and so far 30mb.

I just noticed an absolutely cosmic download too.... and the old login button, no news panel... and an inability to log in. o_0; .... Error Code 058 ...

Yes.... its true.

v_v;


... Hey... Wait a sec. What am I doing with this login?

Had a huge download, tried to login, didn't work.

Restarted GW, huge download, now I try to enter cavalon, but guess what it does? Huge Download!

just logged in and played normally with NO download.

Just logged in. No download at all.

Download has been remotely cancelled it seems. Now downloading a much smaller package (3.8mb)

Download finished....now downloading a HUGE download again. 5094 files remaining. Anyone got a clue what's going on as Anet seem not to.

I also got some updates an hour or so ago (I dont have -image activated), was always the same file size which was wierd so I cancelled it.
When I connected again there where no more files to download (despite cancelling mid-download), looks like some kind of update-loop error.

I just got a new build, a large download and now I can't login anymore. Thank you.

Just logged in no downloads at all. not even a stream on the login page.

It might be good to write down your locations and do a tracert or use the -diag switch and see if you are all connected to the same data center or ones in close proximity. There may have been a problem at a specific center or group of centers that you guys happen to be connecting to.

Network News

We have received reports that some European players recently have experienced latency issues and packet loss, particularly at times of peak European concurrency. The network teams are investigating this matter and hope to have the problem resolved as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we get this situation solved.

It might be possible that in the process of trying to resolve the above issue someone tripped on a power cord.

Now, Another new build. Still downloading. I'll tell if this fixes the unable to login problem.
Update: Yes, it did. Thanks!

I reinstalled Windows about 2 months ago and when I installed GW, I did a -image and downloaded all files.

Last week when they added lip sync I did the -image again and downloaded a lot of files as well that is more than just the updates.

What I;m trying to say that when they updated and even if you updated your copy, if you have not done -image then you did not get all the files.

After a bunch of updated all those files accumulate and thats why when doing a random -image downloads files.

ermmm ok. I just did an image. It downloaded less then 1 megabyte of data and decompressed 1900 files. My gw.dat is 3.14 gb

I reformatted about a month ago, which I do about every 6 months. I even downloaded the client from the website and -imaged the whole thing.

What I am saying is see if this problem is isolated to a specific data center or to something other then that. There are obviously more then one of you with this problem. checking to see if you are all in the same region or connect to the same data centers could point to a possible cause. Including but not limited to internal network statuses. It is not impossible that a server you connected to had to be repaired for some kind of failure creating the need for a back up to be used at that specific data center until an updated image can be obtained. (Speculation of course, I would hope they back up nightly)

My only other suggestion would be to dump or backup your existing dat file and re-image the whole thing. Maybe you have some corruption within the dat file.

As of right now 3:47pm CST I see no ui changes, nothing different then I did 5 minutes ago when I logged in without the client pulling any updates of its own.

I am located in the South Central portions of the United States. My diagnostic is no where near perfect either though, with most of the problems like packet loss and Latency increases occurring in the Tier 3 services in Washington.
