So I just installed GW on a different (faster) laptop, and I clicked one of my characters to load onto. I'm loading into Imperial Sanctum, but the loading seems to be halted? It has said 0% and 25,156 files for the past half an hour or so. The MB are increasing, however, but I'm still concerned. It's at about 45.6 MB currently.
Now I know it takes a while to load the data, but this seems unusual. Any solutions and/or explanations? Thanks!
Just Installed, Loading seems paused?

well as far as know it means that you are downloading the video which is a big file so that would mean that the download would still happen but the % wouldn't increase hope that helped.

Just run the game with the -image command line argument before bed and let it download the whole thing overnight. The in-game loading tends to be fidgety, easier to download all the assets in one setting.

Or, better yet, just burn the GW.dat file to a DVD or copy it to a thumb drive and transfer the entire thing that way. Save yourself the bandwidth.

It loaded. 
Thanks so much, I appreciate the help!

and then after this you wil have to download a whole lot more every time you enter an explorable with other people, as well an eotn dungeons and more,
this bs about -image is rubbish
its missing about 1.5 gb of data on "complete"

How big is your .dat, Just Sai?
For reference, mine are 4.13 GB (4,437,948,592 bytes) and 3.73 GB (4,008,943,291 bytes). The second is a secondary account that only gets played on Nick days
Actually, as a test I'm gonna image myself a new one right now...

On average I tend to see a difference of 250-350 MB...nothing close to your 1.5 GB
did it again last night an compared the 2.
Original: 4,014,228,480 bytes
New: 3,997,834,752 byes
Not exactly a huge difference.

actually in retrospect it was before the servers were moved which could well be a contributing factor.
regardless, it wasn't just me, could have even been a localized issue, who knows.
although i stand by my statement i withdraw all input and sign off with a high five.

never had a problem with -image. Always run the image shortcut before the game. You may get unlucky and get a new update while running the image command, and then have to run it again.
It's a pity GW isn't able to run the game with -image in the command line. Would save me one mouse click!
