Guild Wars 2

‘’ TextBlockLoading API data… Make sure you have a valid connection.
If this persists for a long time, WvW may be down. ’’

After this message appears, Windows pops up [Gw2Overlay has stopped working]

Obviously WvW was has and is up.

Anyone else getting this?

For those unaware of Wuverlay I emplore you to read about it : http://www.guildwars2hub.com/features/editorials/api-spotlight

I’m running gw2 on Windows 8, my pc is an i7 Sabertooh x79 with 16gb ram and an AMD 7970. I run gw2 in full screen windowed mode.

Hey, dev of Wuverlay here.

There seems to be a problem in the world names API provided by ANet (https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/world_names.json).

Specifically the second last entry has a name of null:

I just got home from work and I should have a workaround out in a few minutes. The overlay should get an update notification the next time you start it after I push out the fix.

tyvm, your program has aided my efforts in commanding no end <3

p.s. i know this is cheekey but is there plans to add ‘contested’ data to this?

The problem seems to be experienced by others as well:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/Null-world-name/first#post2235704

Looks like the null world could be safely ignored.

Sorry adding contested isn’t possible at the moment without support from ANet. As soon as it’s implemented I’ll get working on the client implementation! If you want to help push this, you could post in this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/API-Suggestion-World-vs-World to suggest to ANet to include this in the API.

Hey the issue should be fixed now. Next time you start up the overlay it should prompt you to update. I also happened upon a bug with the RI indicator while making this fix, so that should be fixed too. If you don’t get an update notification, you can reinstall at http://wuv.pento.se .

Ty again, its working now. I’ve posted in the forum you linked too ;-)
