Curse

So, I'm doing a clean install of GW to see if I can resolve some issues.

I installed GW from Nightfall CDs, and run the game with the -image modifier (forces GW client to download ALL available data to date).

If you have done this, or you are sure that your gw.dat file isn't bloated, how much does it has the file size at this date?

EDIT: almost forgot, I'm currently with 1.98Gb and downloading, 55,380 files left at this moment.

3.57GB atm, -image'd

I've had numerous issues on my home computer, and have had to re-download files from GW, constituting an evening's worth of downloads (not to mention whenever you go into a new zone, downloading more files).

And, as I'm sure, anyone who was there for EotN's unveiling, there are a lot of files to be had, no matter what you are downloading now.

4.14GB. It'd be interesting to see what influences the size, providing you have all games installed. No idea where the extra words came from there.

3.96GB

Shouldn't they all be the same size?

I have EotN, too bad I don't have DVD-Rom, would have saved me a lot.

StormDragonZ · Apr 24, 2008, 03:42 AM // 03:42

For me, 3.69GB with Bonus Mission Pack, EotN and all three games.

Also with the use of -image.

3.58g after the latest -image
I did notice about a 2 months ago it was just over 5gigs O.o and asked a few guildies theres were around 3.5g
Suport in a query I made to them suggested it was becoming corrupt ( the data file)
and to delete the dat file and re download with -image
it's stayed around 3.5g

I have all campaigns and mission/bonus packs also the game seams to run better smother I think.
A good way I do it now is get a clean dat file fully -imaged and back it up to dvd
then I prolly won't have a huge download if I ever delete the dat file again.

Zsig · Apr 24, 2008, 04:21 AM // 04:21

I guess mine is bogus now then.
My .dat file alone is 6.75GB

Theory about it in German: http://guildwars-forum.onlinewelten....3&postcount=50

and http://guildwars-forum.onlinewelten....2&postcount=63

Basically the theory says, that the download is slower than the output on the disc. So the output writes a lot of zeros.

xiaotsu · Apr 24, 2008, 04:52 AM // 04:52

3.74GB, all 4 games + bonus mission pack, just did another -image to get the remaining.

papryk · Apr 24, 2008, 06:57 AM // 06:57

3.95GB atm / with -image all 3 games, eotn and bonus pack

fenix · Apr 24, 2008, 07:01 AM // 07:01

4.14gb, after -image and contig.

Kapral · Apr 24, 2008, 07:10 AM // 07:10

3.56gb all chapters + expansion.

Zsig · Apr 24, 2008, 07:16 AM // 07:16

If you did the -image it doesn't matter if you got all chapters/expansion or not. You get the whole thing for it.

you dont need to install all cd;s the cd's only have the info rold the clinet, no matter what cd you use its the same clinet, so no need to do each cd - image will load everything form guildwars for every game even i fyou dont have the game you different amounts in your dat file is your own persnal info and toons space and storage
