I noticed I'm getting this currently and its giving me bad lag. I read that a certain command, -image will download it all at once. However those that recommended this failed to tell how to go about and do it. Does this is work and if so how do you do it?

Using command line arguments

Instead of using the command line, you can execute switches directly from your Guild Wars shortcut:

Right click on your Guild Wars shortcut and select 'Properties'.
In the 'Target Area' field you will see the location of your Guild Wars executable file:

"<...>\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"

Write the desired command line arguments after the quote marks, each beginning with a space:

"<...>\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image

--

When you're done remove the -image part again

(this was stolen from the wiki).

Except it doesn't work on the shortcut, or at least the one of the desktop. Had to go to the original. Kind of wish it just did this from the start. So I don't forget, it had a -mce before I put in -image.

Thank you btw.
