Guild Wars 2

Just got it again for volunteering for auto balance

Anet you really have to work on this issue even if you are. Just throw in a patch or something and maybe that might do the trick. This issue can’t be this hard to accomplish and as you can tell it is really getting tiring we have to go through issue for almost 2 weeks now and more to come?

This happen to me as well while doing free tourneys, just that the loading screen ended when the match was over and I was ported back to the Heart of the Mists.

It only happened when I died and I was going to respawn, only to my surprise I was rendered useless for the rest of the fight. I could still hear what was going on, only that I was stuck on a loading screen until the match was over.

So no Alt + F4 for me.. only the sound of the other team slaughtering mine.

I know this thread is already full of crying and whining about this, but I totally understand all of you and I want to cry for this too. This is simply so annoying, I understood that they had a bug but cmon it has been on for 2 weeks and they have even noticed the problem so it would be nice if something could start to happen. I am getting really, really, REALLY tired for this, happened for me today like 10 times (not even exaggerating, 10 times) within 2 and half hours of play. I know that arenanet is having trouble with the solution but give as an update already or something. This is a large community and I think everyone agrees that if this is going to continue for another 2 weeks, people will get too tired for the problem and simply quit the game.

Updates, arenanet…. give them to us, whats going on with the problem?

Just had this happen in spvp. Gee, this kind of thing should have been worked out in beta. The bit with the fractals not letting you rejoin after DC’ing should have been detected during tested. Man, your Q&A is pretty hap-hazard. I sure hope you guys are tracking bugs with something like bugzilla. Where I used to work software would have to work the first time, so we spent a lot of time running monte-carlo and regression testing (please I hope you are doing the same).

Happened for me for the first time yesterday, spvp.

And again, always sPVP, Temple of the silent storm, Loading screen does not end until the end of match (at a score of about 100:100, so it may take a while and the team is one hand short). Since the game works fine in the background, just remove the loading screens and show the game all the time.

Vincu.2865:

Woah, I am surprised. When and where did they post it?

Here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Map-Stuck-is-back/page/3

I find it terrible that they don’t even address that merged thread in the BUG section of the forum…

been trying to create a new character but its not working and now that i’m trying to log into my main i’m stuck in the loading screen

decided to play a little last night but got stuck on a loading screen so I didn’t bother playing at all.

This didn’t happen to me until the day that this thread started, and the topic title itself says that they are BACK, so how hard can it be to fix by now if they already did it once before?

This is still hapenning. Would be nice if they could fix this before the end of the internet.

Same problem here. Really annoying.

14 days and counting very unprofessional.

This has started happening to me more and more – three times tonight alone.

get stuck at loading screen trying to go to jumping puzzle in EB. sat there for 10 mins, nothing. so sick of this busted game.

Happening to me a lot as well. Sometimes when the pvp scenario ends and another one starts the loading screen ends.

Happens a lot now, and when it happens, people are also frequently unable to log back in for a period of time. Pretty essential that this gets fixed.

pls fix this bug, everytime that u do some update this bug will back again, is no possible enjoy the game… spvp is broken… i waste my ticked for paid because of that bug… need a fix soon as possible…

That is my big issue. It costs you tickets to play, and due to no problem of your own, you are booted out and lose out on the round.

How can they even entertain the idea of making this an e-sport when ongoing, game killing bugs, like this are still happening.

Happened again. Enter the jump puzzle in Eternal Map. Stay in there (or in just in WvW) for a while. Then, after about an hour or so, leave the puzzle and rezone back in. Loading Screen of death.

Happens if in WvW for a long while and decide to enter puzzle.
Happens if in Puzzle for a long while and are killed and need to come back.

15 days and counting.

All I’m going say is this….if players decline on the auto balance. They don’t switch over and that other team just have to wait until someone shows up. I can understand if they choose to volunteer or take chances, but if they choose neither thae they don’t go over.
It’s that simple…..

Edit: This is because I knew the loading screen curse would occur….and it did.

3 of my teammates just got loading bug EVERY tourny ugh im done

C’mon Arenanet. This bug takes all the fun out of playing tournaments. It’s not even worthwile playing a tourney when you know there’s a chance of about 1/5 that you’re going to be stuck watching an endless loading screen when you respawn.

I love your game and your PvP but this is seriously annoying me. It is very frustrating when you get to Khylo and then one of your teammates has to dc because of the screen, therefore resulting in a loss.

You have had this bug before and you have fixed it before. I know you can do it again. (Yes, I still have faith in you :-P). But please, don’t make us wait too long. We are really getting tired of this bug so make it a priority to fix it, rather than focusing on creating new content.

Woah! this got bumped down to page 3?!
No way, i want the dev’s to see this on page 1 every day.
This is not something they can just stick in their heads in the sand and hope it goes away.

so does the amount of times you get stuck in the loading screen seem to be increasing?

at first it was the occasional “auto lose” in sPvP, then it turned into a screwed up match every 3-4 games for me, then it started happening in WvW and now today i started getting it in LA.

i was told it was only happening in sPvP when youd open the score board before respawning. welp i have not opened the scoreboard once today and ive gotten the loading bug 4 times in 2 hours.

WHEN WILL THIS GAME BREAKING BUG BE FIXED!?

This bug happend almost 15 times last 2 -3 hours, i can’t end a single pvp game, if i die, i’m done for.

They do see this everyday and they’re aware of it. If anything we are just ranting off our frustration about the issue and that’s ok you got to vent it off somehow either through your home or on the forums. They said it’s suppose to be fix by tomorrow from what I heard from the State of the game interview video.

Still happening – and now in the middle of a tournament game we were winning. I have no idea what happened, if I’ll get credit, or if I’ll be booted from the group.

Another incident here – leveling another character through Metrica Province. I took the Asura gate at the Transfer Gate (Private) Point of interest, and I was stuck loading indefinitely.

I also want to report this bug. I’m seeing it every day i play sPvP (Today it happend twice, map after map…). Not only it’s annoying, playing tournament is impossible right now becouse of it.
I’m waiting for update, that will fix it and I can only hope it will happen sooner or later .

P.S. Never happen to me in PvE map, sometimes LA loads long (30s?), but I’m patient and it works after all.

SPVP is becoming a joke when nearly 50% of the matches you join you end up stuck in a load screen at some point and have to close the client to get out. It’s bad hard to actually find a real match when so many people are dueling and not actually fighting. The only place I’ve really had the endless loadscreen until now is entering the Eternal Battlegrounds jumping puzzle. At least they have priorities like fixing Asuran ears and improving underwater weapons. We can set this one back there on the shelf next to the WvW rendering bug that’s the grandaddy of them all.

As main sPvP organizer of our guild I can safely say that this happens at least one time every tournament. Its getting bloody annoying, it seems to be completely random.

The following happens:
-You die
-Press return to waypoint
-Loading screen pop-up
-Keep hearing the sound of battle at the spot that I died.
-Endless loading screen

Exactly this.

And look what a nice little message they tossed at me after being stuck at loading screen for a good while. Oh, the irony in this message – I’m next to speechless!

Sorry to inform you but the loading screen is still bugged in spvp :/

try deleting local.dat

worked for me when i got stuck on an endless loading screen.

fixed everythng but this with the new patch? ok now we have underwater mask for our spvp buyable at armor vendor….

Usually i delete local.dat when i cant get to the trading post, but i’ll give it a try.
Thank you

Well seems to be completely random when these happen, had barely logged into game last time, went from divinity reach to LA where I ended up in overflow, ofc when I am asked if I want to travel to LA on my server I accept, adn I get the endless loading screen.

This in it self is annoying even if you tab out and force close the game, now it gets even worse when you can’t tab out, the game is frozen completely and the only way you have to restore normal operation is by hard resetting the computer.

If it is of any consequence to this issue: I am running on Windows XP service pack 3

just had this happen for the first time ever last night… stuck loading LA. Had to ctl-alt-delete

i think it is a problem with waypoints that do not teleport you in their location.
When i see someone that is in endless load it is always dead in the map, in spvp.
Anyway in pve sometimes it teleport me to the waypoint i want to go, then it teleport me back.
Because of this i think there are some problems in the waypoint scripts, and i hope it will help you to resolve this problem faster.

Since the most recent patch I’m averaging the “infamous” loadup screen lockup 10% of the time. This fix should be a high priority to getting fixed.

this is not acceptable I’m getting the infinite loading screen about 20% of the time , a crash while loading 30% of the time , and a extremely long loading screen time 2-5 minutes the rest of the time (it used to be 30 seconds at most), it has prevented me from doing content such as fractals instances and spvp

lol that bug is bad joke from admins

Just checking in to say I’m experiencing long load times while zoning, and myself and my fellow guildies are being randomly dropped from game — crashing. This has been happening since the last patch.

Ok did what you said and I don’t see a log file .. I see ArenaNet text doc, GW2 text doc, local.dat file, and verify results text document. I added the -log as explained above but didn’t work?

Ah thanks! I DO have that one lol

Ok here’s my log file after a day’s playing .. had to close out of game just now because my sound suddenly went off and was replaced by a continual bonging sound, over and over … load time better than other days, but still bad into Lion’s Arch.

Edited to add: Ok the bonging sound seems to happen when I use a WP. Going to try updating my realtek audio codec. (And the update didn’t help .. still getting it .. someone on youtube made a video so you can hear it: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Siren/first#post940043)
