Guild Wars 2

How many people are getting this stupid bug where you cannot see the majority of your party members, because I am getting it pretty much every single day.

Also when this bug occurs and people enter fractals I will not get the prompt and when I go in manually it enters me in my own instance…..

I got this for the first time today.

Ive had this every day since last weeks “Windows patch tuesday”. I think something in the windows update is messing around with GW2’s networking.

got it few times when i was doing fractals….

I got this today for the first time ever while trying to show a friend around. Didn’t show up as a dot on my minimap, didn’t load in, nothing. Only when she talked in party chat did I see a bubble over her head so I knew she was there.

I had this happen for the first time yesterday.

I was in a cross-server party looking for one more in LA to join us for CoF. Someone from my server joined us, but didn’t show up in the party list. I only knew they were in the party because they were talking in /party.

The party was a gw2lfg party started to farm CoF, but as often happens in these groups, there was someone that insisted on doing p2 first and then going back to farm p1. The person who started the party protested and eventually left the group. We were inside CoF when a new member joined us. My screen showed the person who had left as being in Fireheart Rise. The new party member then came up and met with us inside the instance, with light blue text above their head (party members have dark blue text), but still did not register as being in the party even though they were talking in /party. After a number of unsuccessful attempts, I managed to solve the issue by restarting the client.

Predictably, after finishing p1, the person who insisted we do p2 before farming p1 left the group. Again, we go a new member and again the old member remained in my party list while the new member did not. Again, the new member was able to enter the instance with us and had light blue text over their name but was able to speak in /party.

This ended up happening a number of times over a number of runs, and it wasn’t only happening to me – at least two others complained of the same thing. At one point, nobody in the party was aware that someone had left us. Attempts to kick, or otherwise interact with the absent party member’s portrait, resulted in a network error. No amount of changing zones, leaving the party, re-logging or logging in with a different character would fix it. The only solution was to restart the client.
