Curse

I recently had to reformat my computer and now it wont let me install Nightfall. I know it's not the discs because my friend was able to install the disks on his PC and I know it's not my computer because I was able to install Prophecies and Eye of the North.
Any suggestions/help on what to do?

Also, is there a website I could use to just download Nightfall?

Break the disk in half and throw it in the trash.

If you have a copy of gw.exe, you're fine. It'll do alot of downloading the first few times you load into NF, but you can already get there.

You can download the client from here: http://www.guildwars.com/support/dow...nt/default.php

Just d/l and install the client from there. It will then download all the files needed to play Guild Wars. Be aware, the total d/l will be a few hundred MB, and if you d/l the whole .dat file it could easily take 3-4 GB to do so.

Should have mentioned - the gw.dat file actually contains, or will d/l, all files needed to get to all campaigns and expansions already (or will d/l as needed).

So as long as you have been able to install the game - either via cd's from other campaigns or via client d/l from GW site - you'll be able to access any campaign / expansion / area your able to access on your account.

It will just require you to d/l any updated files as needed by the client (or run client with -image to force it to d/l everything) when you get to regions it either doesn't have the files for, or has older files for.

Put your friends Gw.Dat on a USB stick over at his house, replace the one in your folder, and you should have everything on your pc, without dowloading!

(this is after installing from gw.exe)

It prevents having to Dl the 4 gigs
