Thanks for the detailed reports! The screenshots and names of equipment you’re wearing really help us track these bugs down. The good news is that I believe a large number of these bugs have already been reported here and documented for investigation. While we’ll look through these bugs as well to confirm this, please list all other art/armor issues in the linked thread. I’ll be closing this thread to keep these issues consolidated.

We will let you know when the free transfers are coming to an end but I don’t think it’s happening in the next day or two.

I really think you ought to consider moving to a lower-population world now, though, because if you add members, they will run into this situation, too. Why not make it easy to join in by having a more “roomy” world?

Hi Farren,

Thanks for the report! In your case the issue is likely due to the fact that you do not appear to have any video card drivers installed on your system. I would highly recommend downloading AMD’s Mobility Radeon™ Driver Verification Tool to locate the most up to date video card drivers for your laptop: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx

Hope that helps!

Hi Aibandit – I’d like for you to try a command to bypass this error to get into the game.

1. Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 installation folder.

2. Right-click on “GW2.exe” and select “Create Shortcut.”

3. Rename this shortcut to “Guild Wars 2 Port Test.”

4. Right-click on this shortcut and select “Properties.”

5. Edit the “Target” line to include /clientport 80 at the end.

Note: Please make sure /clientport 80 is outside of the quotes

Correctly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe” /clientport 80
Incorrectly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe /clientport 80”

6. Once completed, click “Ok” to save your changes.

If you get an error trying to save, your target line may not have the correct format. Please try step 5 again.

7. Double click “Guild Wars 2 Port Test” and try connecting again.

Client Crash

EnochDagor – I was referring to your in game graphics settings, not your graphics card. Additionally I am not a Developer and so while the client is still being updated, optimized, and worked on, I can see what else might be going on to get the game playable for you if possible as there is no ETA for a fix for the “Out of Memory” crashes at this time.

And so, I would start with having your graphics settings at the lowest possible settings and seeing if you still get these crashes. If not, I would then gradually increase the settings until you reach a point where the game is both playable and of the best appearance that you can achieve.

Lastly, as other players have suggested, upgrading to a 64-bit operating system and increasing your system memory should resolve this issue for you.

Please do not submit a ticket. We have made it abundantly clear that we do not have the ability to restore accounts and that account restorations will not be used to allow “do-overs” of purchase mistakes. Account restorations are planned only for compromised accounts.

The team will look at possible changes to the interface or to the purchase process, but even if a change comes in the future, this situation cannot be reserved.

We are disallowing the use of names that represent bodily functions. With the huge community in Guild Wars 2, we’re not offering assured “grandfathering” of every single name from Guild Wars, because with a persistent world, we believe that it is even more incumbent upon us to uphold the Naming Policy.

It’s not likely that someone is going to say “Why is that ‘creative spelling’ for emitting flattus allowed in Guild War 2? Oh, the player probably was allowed to use it in Guild Wars, therefore it’s been grandfathered into GW2.” It’s just not reasonable to expect people to understand why an exception may have been made to a clear-cut and readily understood policy.

I’m sorry that you cannot make the name, but I fully understand why and hope, upon reflection, that you will as well.

Hi Cetol,

I would like for you to try a Winsock reset. To do so, please follow the steps below:

1. Click the “Start” button to bring up the Start Menu.

2. Type in CMD into the “Search programs and files” field but do not hit enter. Doing this will change your start menu to show the program “cmd.exe.”

3. Right-click on “cmd.exe” and select “Run as Administrator.”

4. Type “netsh winsock show catalog >C:\LSP.txt” without the quotes. This will save a file to the root of your C drive called LSP.txt. You do not need to do anything with this file.

5. Once complete, type “netsh winsock reset” without the quotes. When the command is completed successfully, a confirmation appears, followed by a new command prompt line.

Once completed, please try connecting again.

Placed my ticket on the 9th of October as I tried to log in only to find the account I had just bought and paid for a few days prior had been permanently banned! Still have yet to receive an explaination as to what happend and why this action was taken. If the account was hacked, I’m rateful they took steps to stop it, but i’d very much like to know what’s going on and how to resolve this issue ASAP.

Here’s my info below concerning the ticket.

I’m sorry, but your ticket is less than 48 hours old, it appears you have created multiple tickets, and you posted hourly on the forums.

Account issues take time to fully research and resolve. Because you’ve been cited for a breach of the UA and RoC, an agent needs to look into this very carefully. Please be patient.
