I've not had any update, though a guildie and a friend have...
Flightmare
I had one, and the login server was down a few minutes.
Lyssa Mac
I had this happen to me yesterday afternoon. The game d/l something and then couldn't find any login servers. Restarted GW a few times where it downloaded a bit more and then it found the login servers and everything was fine.
I'd already picked up the documented update earlier that day and played, so it wasn't that.

Aye same thing happened to me this morning, logged on for a bit, then logged off for bout a half an hour and when i came back i needed an update. Weird one 
theonetheonlybruce
happened here to dont know what it was
I Will Heal You Ally
probably some bug fixes
HawkofStorms
Thank god. I thought it was a problem with my new wireless router.
Solas
Yeah, was able to play in the morning then the update came.
Doubt it was bug fixes or preparation for the weekend because 3mb is pretty big of an update.

Lykan
I got it too, no idea what it did.
Thargor
Just tried to log on and got this update. Now my computer locks up every time i try to open GW.
This is the only thing that has changed on my comp since the last update to GW. I have not downloaded anything, played any other games, or anything else.
Anyone have any idea that could help me out?

Same routine again, downloaded some files, then couldn't connect for a few times, eventually let me in with everything as normal.
Methinks the last update has problems since all this has started since then.

So i downloaded the update about 3 times(!).
And like 20 minutes after i got hacked.
E-mail got hacked and guild wars account is impossible to log into since they have changed the e-mail adress to the account.
Should that even be possible in 20 mins?!

I had the same as most of you lads, had a ~3mb file to download to start. Then couldn't logon for around 5mins (got err058). Then after those 5mins I downloaden another couple files and I could logon again. I think it is (as previously stated) a problem with the last update. Only strange thing is Turin (post above) who found his acount completely empty and after another couple mins also his log-on email adress was changed. (he's my guildleader)
gargytama
Same thing happened to a guildie of mine named Payne Korr, but his characters weren't deleted. Instead they changed all armors and took all money and ectos and all other valueable stuffs on the account.
He has now quit playing gw cuz A-net don't wanna change back to his old e-mail, or restoring his old P/W

Mine started yesterday afternoon. ??
Nothing listed on the official updates page. Is this a hack?

Then we are sucked, everyone will be hacked

Well, i'd like to hear official word from ANET about this. Same happened to me 3 days ago - first small update, then i was unable to connect to server, then another update and everything went back to normal (it is strange that there is no official info about those updates).
blackmage_z
There wasn't an update for me since the one on 08.14.08. Are you guys running any other programs or mods while launching/playing Guild Wars?
Autonom
So this is a bit offtopic, but i need to ask:
Can they give me some kind of fake GW?(During the hack when i started GW the news window didnt show up at start screen)
If i got a keylogger, how do i find and remove it in the best way?
How could they change e-mail for the account in 20 mins? Isnt that supposed to take 2 days, and in case, isnt that a glitch and A-nets fault?
I also thought that the hacker must have hacked my e-mail account first, since they sent after a new pass or something, does that make sence?

I'm sorry, but the hacking ninjas are not going around inserting 3Mb downloads...
Regina Buenaobra
According to our QA team, our last build was released on August 14. There was no build over the weekend. If you had already downloaded all the content from 14th August, they aren't sure why you were downloading more content on August 16. If you have more detailed or additional information, such as if you are using 3rd party software, please let us know.
T1Cybernetic
I had the same update, only a very small one and a friend had the same at exactly the same time earlier today when we both logged on to do some fissure.
We both loaded in to, temple of the ages if that helps

Yeah but 3mb of unkown code is pretty dangerous i would imagine.
They coudl wreck havoc on your computer and steal your account at the same time.
And if they are doing it through Guildwars then theres going to be alot of trouble><
I'm pretty paranoid atm so i'll prob end up uninstalling and installing Guildwars.
Not sure if that will help but worth a shot.
ran some nortan scans too..

I opened GW and got the update about 15 minutes ago... after talking with guildies, I'm the only person who has gotten it. I use texmod from time to time (lately solely for Securing the Forest HFFF dots) but use no other 3rd party program. I have never bought gold, other accounts, etc.
EDIT: About 20 minutes after I got it, I had some horrible lag. I was sitting in my guild hall waiting for a couple people to be ready to finish a trade deal, and I got a 43, then 57 second ping. Afterwards everything was fine, but others on my network experienced no ill effects during this time. Only my computer (GW Client) seems to have been effected. I'm hoping this is just some ISP screwup, but maybe this is important.

Had my computer download some more files again today. Was playing earlier. Logged off for a couple of hours. Came back and the client went through the downloading and extracting files like for a normal update.
A short while later, a guildie reported the same thing. I think it happened to them again later that evening.
I don't run any third party programmes linked to GW. The only things I had running on my computer apart from GW were MSN Messenger, Firefox browsing the web and Media Player playing some music.

When I get home from work I'll log on to check. Several members were talking about it in alliance chat yesterday, but I didn't get any update.
Neo Nugget
I haven't gotten an update other than the official one on the 14th.

i dont use textmod never have done only had the update once saturday morning. had no errors logging on b4 or after this update.it was 106 files, my dat was up to date as i did -image after thursdays update
Omega Finale
I recieved a small one this morning when I logged on (around 200-250KB), I just assumed it was an undocumented bug/localization fix. After reading this I asked around, a few other people in my guild have been getting it as well, and a very few are getting it multiple times.
slowerpoke
well i asked the exact same question in the last update thread.
i definately downloaded files on both saturday and sunday when i started up guildwars, 2nd was bigger, few hundred files.
and i regularly use -image

no updates but yesterday i had some random problem where gw was having network errors and wouldnt let me log in (code=26 i think), my internet was fine and i ran gw 10 minutes before. i have downloaded any more updates
i have a feeling hacking etc is just a coincedence, if not im sure theres something fishy going on (should that be phishy?)...are you careful with your password and e-mail combinations.

My guess would be: Login troubles -> Corrupted Files -> GW redownloads correct files when back up.

i had an "update" on sunday, and the updater stopped at 99%. i closed the program, restarted it, and it loaded up as normal. i didn't notice anything different.
Regina Buenaobra
Thanks for the additional information, guys. Our QA team is keeping an eye on this situation.
If you are experiencing significant problems that impact your gameplay, please contact customer support.

I recieved an update today around 6-7pm GMT, and had another a few minutes ago. Also, some friends said that they disconnected around the time of my second update as well.
From the number of people who seem to be experiencing the problem, it seems unlikely that it's something malicious, and more likely something ANet's end.
I should also mention that I'm not using any 3rd party software with GW, like texmod.
