Miragens – Mesmer (sPvP – WvW – PvE)
Sorr – Elementalist (sPvP) / A Besta – Guardian (sPvP)
I have had this issue since launch and have submitted a ticket for it a while ago, but since there’s been no feedback and despite my best efforts to solve it i still suffer from it.
I randomly get stuck on loading screens (changing zones, changing sPvP maps, etc), never inside the same zone. The wheel will keep on turning and if if i leave the client active (i’ve tried) i’ll never get even a Disconnect error. It’ll stay like that forever.
I also have problems connecting, often having to try multiple times after failing to connect or simply getting stuck after pressing Login. This, i think, is symptomatic of something happening in port 80 comms. I suspect (not sure though) that each time i load a zone the client needs to negotiate with the login server to sort out overflows, servers, etc, and once it fails to connect a first time it just hangs there indefinitely.
What i’ve done to fix this problem since launch (on Windows 7 x64 atm):
- Repaired the game numerous times;
- Switched NICs to check for a fault in the one i use most (on-board NIC);
- Uninstalled the drivers for both my NICs, and reinstalled using both Win7’s default and updated ones;
- Uninstalled, then reinstalled all my TCP/IP protocols, both v4 and v6;
- Checked my software firewall (Kaspersky Pure) and my router’s firewall for any type of restriction to all ports used by the game, aswell as game privileges in my security policies;
- Updated Windows 7 to the latest build.
I also tried running the game with all non-essential applications turned off (including Kaspersky) and i still get the same problem.
Weird thing is, there are days in which it happens to me once, and others like today, that at every 2 loadings i’m being forced to Alt+F4, restart my client, try 5-6 times until i manage to log in only to get stuck again on the first loading and having to repeat the process.
During this time i have no loss of connectivity on any other ports but 80. And i’m at a loss right now.
Needless to say, this problem greatly impacts my gaming experience, as i often refrain from doing sPVP due to the constant restarts needed, and have cost my tPVP teams some wins since i couldn’t enter in time for match starts. Also, the new fractals pose a new problem, since if i disconnect, all progress is lost.
Any assistance in this manner would be appreciated.
P.S.: Disk usage also drops to 0% when this happens, my OS is tidy, my disks are defraged and clean, and my memories are all good. This hardly seems like a problem with those components.
all have this bug ))
i told arena.net don’t fix any bug, just release patches for casual players.
arena.net just remove topics, no topic – no problem )
This is not the problem that has happened some weeks ago where you’d get stuck while spawning in PVP. Different matter and i’ve searched this forum for this specific issue, to no avail.
