Guild Wars 2

Logging in to game, changing waypoint and getting kicked out of game, whitescreen with error message, then reloading, tried multiple times never had this issue before in all the years playing.

I have the same problem. I was exploring the Black Citadel for completion and got kicked several times when either entering or exiting the city instances. I also got a few InstanceCreate failed messages after logging back in. Never seen that before.

Got the same problem on different maps. but not at all the maps. weired.

Same problme for me and my guild members

Myself and numerous/most (at least) guildies cannot load our guild hall due to the network error. This is just in time for guild missions :-(

same here. tying to access HoT story instance from silverwastes. getting network error /disconnect all the time.

I can get in to the game and on to any of my characters but when i try to change map (use WP) it keeps loading the map unusually long and after a while i get error code 5:11:3:157:101 “Network issue. Failing to get connected to Guild Wars 2 may be caused by the routeur or by a network server failure. If the problem remains, please contact the online assistance.”

Also all my friends are having the same issue, restarted game multiple times also pc and router. Any solutions?

Same. I can play but sometimes the game just crashes mid-loading screen.

Had this now once while leaving Obsidian Sanctum to LA and twice while joining Fractals.

same. thing when im trying to get into the “torn from the sky” instance for HoT. anyone found a solution?

Solution

• Right clic on Start Menu
• Clic on Command-Line
• Tape : ipconfig /flushdns
• ENTER

No need to restart game or windows.

Doesn’t work for me. In fact it almost seems like it made it worse as I can’t even go beyond the character select screen now!

Same problem here. Changing game locations crashes the game with "network error: message mentioned above. Game breaking bug, today it is totally unplayable.

Same error. I can’t enter some maps and I get the network error like some post above.

Seems to be the same issue as this thread. Me and my girlfriend are both having issues getting into certain maps, whether it’s logging in on a character that’s already there, or going there through portal or WP. Seems to be a widespread issue.

too nd. Guildies too..

Can’t post in the forum either?

Edit:
Oh now, when I don’t adress the issue it works xD, well I hope it gets fixed soon. I miss my teq now though :/

same issue there

Very much the same issue as well. I didn’t know whether to attribute this problem to the extreme lag that I’d been experiencing in-game while I’ve been logged on today, but everything else (internet) seems to be running fine. Even a speedtest told me that it wasn’t my connection.

I did the ipconfig /flushdns trick mentioned earlier as well, no dice. The game has become unplayable and I’m just lucky that I got the daily done before things got worse.

I believe this needs more fixing.

To be fair, just because even speedtest says your connection is fine, doesn’t mean it isn’t essentially your connection that has the issue. Your physical connection is fine, sure, but the routers, and the routes they know of, could be broken between you and Anet, and be fine everywhere else. This issue though usually resolves itself within minutes to a few hours. Your ISP could also have issues itself, but appear fine to speedtest or even other games. Just because one game works and another doesn’t, does not necessarily mean the one is at fault.

Having said that, it very well could be an issue with servers and/or Anet’s provider, because this and other issues have been ongoing for many. There is actual server latency noticed even by 2 people dueling in an empty guild hall (these issues have been ongoing for a long time, but they seem worse lately, and it saps what is left of interest. Other possible causes have been ruled out in the past). Doesn’t make it very fun when you can’t even rely on your skills to activate when you press them, dodge and yet take damage or don’t dodge at all when dodge key is hit, receive damage even as you leave the arena from skills activated 15 seconds earlier no where near you, etc. (not to mention immob in air…)

Seems odd in a way, yet also makes sense, that GW2 uses more bandwidth now than it used to (both for patches and for general gameplay) and yet server latency seems to be a bigger issue now in all game modes, not just zerg fights in Eternal Battlegrounds.

Suggestion: When you do have the lag issues, try to do a traceroute and give the information to Anet. Provided your ISP doesn’t block ICMP (mine does >.> )

Let’s go back to Occam’s Razor for a minute.

Done a traceroute already, it won’t complete.

Ran around a map solo, fought foes, no lag. I get in a group situation like a world boss and… everything stops. I miss out on the world boss event entirely even though I did damage and receive no credit for it.

Then I guess your provider is also blocking icmp. If it works fine running around a map, but everything stops as soon as you get in a situation with lots of players all doing actions, you are going over the bandwidth some device between you and anet cannot handle causing packet loss. The difference between an empty area playing alone is about 2-4 KB/s typically at the high end (which is about dialup bandwidth btw), and a world boss to zerg fight in WvW goes over 50+ KB/s. I’ve seen over 120 KB/s, which ends up being a full 1 Mbps. Are you on wifi? Could be a failing adapter, at that high sustained bandwidth a failing device will truly show it’s faults. Or someone else streaming too much bandwidth on the same wifi or interference with the wifi or access point/router faulty. Whether wifi or direct to modem, could be faulty modem. Could be your provider allowing that area to get overloaded, especially if this happens around primetime hours.

In this situation, it sounds more like the issue is with some equipment on your end, or your provider is routing things stupidly. I’m not kidding when I say a faulty wifi adapter could be at fault. I had the same issues and come to find out, it was my usb wifi adapter that failed. Replaced it, and has worked fine since. For me, I knew wifi interference and wifi usage were ruled out as possible causes. If wifi isn’t involved, it could still be a faulty modem, faulty router if separate units, cable issue, ISP messed up, etc., and I would suggest looking into them. Most games do not use the bandwidth that a zerg fight or world boss event does. Players in combat uses far more bandwidth than the same number of players standing around or even moving around.

My all Chars were facing same issue, and they all in different maps.
1) Unable log out to choose other chars, stuck in game after press log out button, toon able to move but skills and rest of the npc was freeze and unable to communicate, chat channel, Black Lion trading and all functions was unable to use too.
2) Unable to change map by using waypoint or go through the portal, malfunctioning for WvW, PvP, Guild Hall and Frac too. After press above mention maps or portal, stuck on loading screen till a notice column prompt up with a message with code (Code=7:0:0:990:101), but the same map waypoint was able to teleport.
3) All above mention issue must be force close by using Ctrl+Alt+Del to using Tasks Manager completely close down program of GW2
4)Latency for my game was 210-267(avg 245)

This problem last time I’m facing too, but just go to PvP field and go through the Lion Arch portal can be solve, but this time, totally unable to change to any maps or portals.
This issue has occurred more then two weeks.
Has tried for totally uninstall/deleted GW2, and re-install again. After download finished, 1st time can played. But, log in another time, same problem occurred as above mentions.
