Guild Wars 2

Over the past few weeks I’ve had more and more desync problems. My ping has never been great but I never once had legitimate desync issues until the LW update. I’ve had typical lag where everything in the game is slow to respond to any of my actions but it always affected everything at once (game play, chat, guild system, etc).

The issue I have now my game play is becoming completely desynced from all other aspects of the game. My chat works fine, the guild panel is responsive, but anything my character can physically interact with become completely unresponsive. Even at a ping of 200~300 I can become completely desynced and have no control of what happens to my character for up to 2 minutes (the problem eventually fixes itself) or I go to character select and come back into the game.

Honestly I can’t play the game like this and this needs to be fixed ASAP.

your connection might not be a problem with Anet or their servers, and might not be something they can fix. to determine where the problem is you can follow the instructions in this post:

Now I’m having issues desyncing after cutscenes & even more frequently during normal gameplay. After I completely shut down the client and restart things start going normally again for a while but it eventually gets to the point I need to do a total restart.

Just to be clear when I say I desync I mean I can still run around watching players doing things. I however am unable to use any skills and my character may be moving but the servers think I’m still standing when I desynced (monsters near where I desynced will still kill me even though I see myself very far away from them).

I know its not because of lag because I’ve had that issue many times and I will see people rubber banding non stop & it is extremely obvious. I don’t know how I can be the only person with this issue.

Run a tracert command. Sounds like you have a packet loss problem, which is something you would need to take up with your ISP. And btw, 300 ping is not good, and lag like you’re describing is something I would expect.
