Default Not again...
I'we done "-image" recently because i was kicked out of the game and was getting "send" / "don't send" error all the time. GW worked fine, for couple of days and now it started all over again! What should I do?

What was the exact error? And recently the Guild Wars servers are not 100% working (not that they were ever working 100%...) so it might not be your fault.

So you've done image but Guild Wars still downloads files?
(with download I mean actually showing files being downloaded in the loading window NOT the Performance Monitor)

What's the size of your Guild Wars .dat file?

Look, i'we just finished downloading files that are required to get into the game, and discovered that all my characters have, once again changed their armor and armor colors. And when I click "play" I have to download 20k files!!!

Well my .dat files is 30MB bigger so you might not have all the files.

This problem started recently? All of the sudden?

You might want to check your computer for malicious software with a proper antivirus.

This happened to me 4-5 times already. Each time I download 6k files to get into the game, and 27k more to play... It's annoying and time-consuming...

Did you remove the -image switch after the download? You can't play if the -image switch is still on your shortcut.

When you used -image, how long did it took to download all files (and how many files were downloaded)?

Once upon installing the game (like it should), then 2-3 times before the -image and this is the 1-2 time after the -image... Do u know what should I do? This sucks...

You might still not have all the files, last time I checked there were over 1.000.000 files or so.

Make sure you have enough free space on your hard drive.

If nothing else submit a report to CS and see if they can help you out.

everyone's dat will be a different size due to how many campaigns, character slots, add-ons, etc.... it will be around the same size. I would backup any templates, screenshots and then uninstall, remove the guild wars folder and reinstall. It sucks I know, but something has to be corrupt for you to keep getting the windows errors.
