Guild Wars 2

Forever loading screen followed by massive lag spike. Have to relog which may or may not fix it.

This happens after lats patch.

Yeah, I’ve been having a problem like this for a while. I can log in, choose a character, load into a map just fine, then if I ever switch maps/go to another character it takes forever to load, or refuses to load and I have to restart my entire game.

The same problem has been occurring for me, and none of the usual fixes for such things have worked. I have taken all the recommended steps in GW2 support FAQ. I have taken all the recommended steps from Microsoft. Occasionally, everything works fine, but frozen loading screens are more common than successful loading. As with the previous players’ complaints, my problem started with the arrival of HoT. Adding verification helped a little bit, but was far from a solution to the problem. Changing passwords didn’t help at all. Clearing winsock, dns, and browser cache did nothing. Reinstalling drivers, likewise. GW2 repair, nothing. GW2 diagnostic reports no anomolies. The error returned is 42. I look forward to when a solution is found.

This has happened to me too, but so far only in stronghold matches.
