Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing GW2 for a week now without any major issues aside from one.

I suffer from frequent disconnects from the game with a rather cryptic error code. It doesn’t happen all too often but it tends to occur in rather heated situations.

Now I have a feeling what might be the cause of this.

I share a 3Mbit connection with the rest of my family house hold. It’s not much, but should really suffice and I’ve never had problems with it before. I’m connected to the router via a D-Lan household LAN (a LAN using power sockets). Again, this works fine in game like Battlefield 3, World of Warcraft and various other titles.

However it seems Guild Wars 2 is extremely fickle when it comes to sharing limited bandwidth. Every time a family member downloads or sends and e-mail, updates pictures or does something else beyond simply “surfing” I’ll be disconnected.

This is extremely frustrating because it seems unique to Guild Wars 2. Surely the technical department must be able to do something to make GW2’s netcode less sensitive to bandwidth usage.
