How Do I Download all the Files? - Guild Wars Forums

Allistair · Nov 08, 2007, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Title says it all. I'm starting back on this game after a long break. I never really got into it tbh, but I have a few friends who want to play so here I am. I remember having to wait a while when going into a new area for the downloads. I also remember somehow being able to download all the files at once so I didn't need to wait every time I got to a new area. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance. I'm excited about playing!

right click on your guild wars icon... go to properties and in the target field type -image after what is already there...

Make sure after you have downloaded everything you remove -image or it will download everything again.

Almost. If you've still got -image in the Target field, it will start and then immediately quit again if theres no more files to download. But regardless, make sure you lose the "-image" tag.

No actually it won't. It will only update your files without connecting to your account, so you can use it safely to download the content AND update it. Add two shortcuts to GW, one for playing and one for updating (though playing also does update the GW.dat in the background, but it may not download everything)
