Guild Wars 2

For the past 4 days every time I enter the Crown Pavilion, or try to load a character within the pavilion, the game freezes and crashes. Does anyone else have the problem? I’ve got 2 characters permanently stuck there now.

Yeah 4 days later and still crashing my game every time I try to enter/load up a trapped character. Even tried to enter another character in the hopes that it was just these 2 characters, now have 3 trapped characters. Anybody got any idea what’s going on? Would be nice to actually take part in a living story before it ends for once.

I’m having the same problem, although not all the time. Sometimes I can log in with no problem and other times it takes me many, many attempts. Guesting doesn’t seem to make any difference either.

It’s really annoying because I don’t have much time to play as it is and still want to beat Liadri.

I’m having a similar issue.

Every time I try to load my Mesmer in the Champ Pavilion, the game hangs on the loading screen. Eventually I get a ‘cannot connect to server’ message or something along those lines and the game logs me out.

All my characters not in the Champ Pavilion load perfectly fine.

I’m thinking there may be an issue to where the game is having a problem putting you into an overflow server while attempting to log in on the character in the Pavilion. If someone ports down to the Pavilion and they are placed into an overflow server, then it usually does that just fine. But when you left your character in the Pavilion, upon logging back into them, if your server Pavilion was full then it’d try to place you into an overflow server at the same time as logging your character in…but it might be having an issue with doing that.

Possibly related is, do you remember if your character was in an overflow server at the time you last logged out and left them there in the Pavilion? Or were you in your own server’s Pavilion?

If you can, try to log in on the stuck character during hours where fewer players may be online so it won’t be attempting to put you into an overflow server. If it is an overflow issue, then you may not be able to log into them unless it can put you into your own server’s Pavilion, instead of it trying to force you into an overflow server while logging the character in.

I’ll also try to think of some other workaround to get you in again.

I was definitely in overflow and your post seems quite logical
I’ll probably give it another shot at a non-peak time and hopefully it’ll be resolved.

(Thank you for the helpful reply!)

Thank you I really hope you’re able to get back in at another time and that the issue was related to what I mentioned so it’s easily resolved without having to go to Support.

I also strongly recommend to everyone to not log out a character with them inside the Pavilion as I don’t think anyone should trust temporary game areas enough to leave a character inside of them, especially with the history of overflow having issues in past updates. One can quickly run through the portal to the surface or manually waypoint up to Divinity’s Reach or elsewhere before logging out.

Yeah i’ve had similar problems, I managed to play it yesterday on another of my characters (and remembered to bring them out of the pavilion before leaving) but i still have 2 characters that are ‘stuck’ (one of the 3 was stuck between Divinity and CP because i’d tried to leave, eventually decided on Divinity). My problem seems to be both overflow and the actual CP, as my mesmer was in overflow but my guardian had been in the actual one. Just really annoying.

I can confirm that I have been able to access the Champ’s Pavillion (my actual home server), despite having previous issues.

So in my case, the situation is ‘resolved’.
