I was playing and this came up, so I closed the game. But when I tried to restart it, it wouldn't connect to ArenaNet. It's just staying at 0%.
Is this normal..? And does it have to do with this "new build" thing?

(And no, it's not being blocked by a firewall. It's been working fine until now.)

Edit: Nevermind, things seem to be fine now.

Unfortunately for me, this new build = crash-o-rama, as in total system lockup.

Ah.. Well, right now I'm just waiting for the lightning bolt thing to go away, so hopefully I don't get the same thing when I start playing..

Mine worked fine, but its a big update (6.7mb) so uninstall, reinstall and -image for the most uptodate version with less crap left over

Uninstall, reinstall and -image for the best results

In which format is your harddrive formated? FAT or NTFS? FAT has apperently a limit of 4 gig a file, which COULD block gw.dat from expanding...

Have you tried deleting your GW.dat file and letting it rebuild it from scratch? In my experience this fixes a wide variety of update issues.

Nah it don't. I emailed Anet about it and they told me to do alot of stuff (Run a DirectX Diagnostic and disable all of my utility bar items). Tbh, they don't know about the problem yet, just to tell you - Its not my computer ^^
