I came back to the game the other day, reinstalled over the weekend and got to play a few hours Sunday. I bought Heavensward yesterday and tried to download the necessary update files yesterday but ran into the "unable to download patch files" error.



This is the file it gets stuck on every time....



I spent a few hours searching last night and found all sorts of ridiculous posts about VPNs, and odd editing of system files. Most of the posts go unfixed and the ones that do, well the fixes, don't even make sense lol. I admittedly did try the VPN nonsense this morning, the "Cyberghost" software I came across numerous times in posts however that did not result in any success.

Why was I able to install the game and patch the game this weekend but am no longer able to last night and this morning?

I've disabled firewalls and antivirus, I've reinstalled the game from scratch, I've run all .exes as admin, and I've rebooted my PC. Help?
