Guild Wars 2

… and to some extent, Lion’s Arch.

It’s getting rather irritating now, three times in two days I’ve lost Tequalt loot because of constant disconnecting at worst times. First, I must have disconnected eight times before the spawn. Then, after restarting the client, things seemed fine… but once Tequatl hits 10% health, what do you know. 20 seconds of lag, followed with a disconnect. Before the fight the disconnect just happened, without a warning.

Server’s Tarnished Coast. This has been going on for the past 2 days or so. Sometimes the whole client restarts when I even do as much as to WP into the zone. I don’t know if others are suffering from this, but I sure am. Same happens in Lion’s Arch, but there it isn’t as bad as it doesn’t make me lose any loot, karma, or coins.

Also, I don’t think it’s related to the amount of people, there’s generally more people at Claw of Jormag and the Shatterer, and I have no problems in those zones or fights. Nor any other zone events, only Tequatl.

I had a similar issue in the WvW battlegrounds. EB was OK but I’d get a DC within a couple of minutes of entering any of the Borderlands.

At the same time, my PC would want to validate it’s files afterwards but the validation ‘locked’ every time at some specific number of files – about 280,000. I had to tell it NOT to validate in order to run. Which it did fine anywhere except the borderlands.

Eventually, in desperation, I reloaded my entire client. It turned out not to take too long and solved both problems!
