Auction House Error
There are a couple of reasons why the TP doesn’t work for some people. The two most likely culprits are:
- Make sure your anti-malware isn’t blocking the “awesomonium_process.exe” that GW2 uses to connect to the trading post. See: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Configuring-AVG
- Ensure that you are running GW2 with administrative rights. See: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Configuring-User-Account-Control-UAC.
Some people can just need to restart the computer or router to resolve similar symptoms.
Restarting my client worked.
After testing it a bit more, it seems like if you leave your client idle and you’re kicked back to the Character Select menu, that when reconnecting back to the server, it doesn’t allow you to authenticate to the auction house unless you totally close down your client again.
Yes, for some reason if the game kicks you to character select, the awesomonium_process.exe signs you out from the TP. And the only way to log back in gain (to the TP) is to restart.
Your original post said, “[t]his has gone on for 2 days…” which suggested a systemic problem, rather than a momentary one (easily fixed).
Glad you got it working again.
