Curse

kdembeck · Aug 21, 2008, 03:22 PM // 15:22

I decided to reinstall GW with the download client. My problem is that every zone that I enter takes several minutes to download the content for. Is there some switch I can add to the download utility that will download all the content of the entire game and simply let it run over night? I haven't read through the entire forum so a link in the proper direction will do just fine if a discussion already exists.

Thank you.

go to your GW shortcut, rightclick and go to properties.

add -image to the command path (or whatever it's called).

open GW with the shortcut, and come back after a few hours.

remove the -image tag.

Right click on your GW shortcut and go to "Properties" (If you don't have a Shortcut, find gw.exe, right click on it, go to "Send To" >> Desktop (Create Shortcut) )

Go to the "Shortcut" tab (should be the one opened by default)

The "Target" line should look something like:
"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"

Add "-image" to the end of target line so it looks like:
"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image

(the -image should be outside the quotes)

Start GW with the shortcut. It will take quite a while to download everything, so you may as well start it before you go to sleep/work/school.

After it's all finished, open the Shortcut again and remove "-image".
