Hey im new here but if you guys could help me get back on GW that would be great, when the new patch was sent on 8-8-08 i logged out and exited GW but when I tried to get back on it was stuck on "connecting to arenanet" 0% when the patch the day before was issued it did the same thing but when i tried to run it on another computer account it worked and then worked on mine, I have a suspicion that my computer was unable to find the new data and download it if anyone could help please post thanks Toolbooth


 * Well welcome to the wiki, we will help where possible. Maybe you should just leave it to get to 100%? I have never experienced this problem, but im sure that leaving it wont do any harm.  }{ Ipo™ }{  14:55, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

You dont understand it isnt even buding i've left it like that for 4 hours and its still at 0%


 * Try contacting anet or GW support?  }{ Ipo™ }{  15:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Ensure that you don't have a firewall or antivirus program blocking GW from connecting to the internet. Bluvius 19:30, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I have but why would after the new patch come out that it suddenly stops working? plus my parents put 50000 pounds of unnecesary parental controls on
 * Welcome to the wiki, I would suggest turn off your anti-virus, or if you still have the disks put them in your CD Drive and repair the installation that may help. Again welcome to the wiki.Frostybroc 19:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

OK I found out that its my Firewall that is keeping me from playin, since my computer account i had to get my dad to turn it off once he did it worked and I was able to sign on, but my dad wont let us take the risk that we have our firewall down,so yeah im screwed any further thoughts would help
 * If the firewall you're using is the standard Windows Firewall, it is very easy to create exceptions. Simply access the firewall properties and add Gw.exe. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
