I rarely have client crashes (basically they happen next to never for me!) but in Gendarran Fields this has significantly changed for me since the last mini-patches.

Situation info:
Time: We’re in the last chapter of the first living story (So basically the entire Lion’s Arch functionality has moved to Vigil Keep in Gendarran Fields).
Server: Piken Square, EU (but I think the same happens to me on overflows)
Connection: Broadband.

Description of the problem:

- Situation 1: During gameplay INSIDE the area of Gendarran Field, the game crashes. This has happened to me in Vigil Keep itself, but also once or twice in the South East near the NPC that can ‘sneak you into L.A.’ for your personal story. Upon trying to reconnect, I usually managed to log in again, except yesterday and today.

- Situation 2: Trying to log in a character positioned in Gendarran Field, the loading screen took quite a long time, after which I get an error message, possibly a time-out. Trying again a few minutes later, hours later or even the next day tends to result in the same thing (and actually all my characters who are/were in Gendarran Field could no longer log in – I managed to evacuate 2 out of 3 now through trying and retrying many times).

Error message: “The game client lost its connection to the server. Please wait a few minutes before restarting the client and try again. (code=7:11:3:191:101)”.

Situation 3: WHEN I managed to log in a character inside Gendarran Fields (which was stuck there, near the Vigil Keep) – all NPCs were talking at the same time and I couldn’t use my abilities (only run around – if that really happened) – because I think I was already (again) timed out. Clicked a waypoint outside Gendarran Fields… after which indeed the client crash happened again (time-out I think) and next time I logged on I managed to do so, but immediately upon doing so there was a message that "the waypoint selected was now contested (it couldn’t have been, so it probably had some other in mind?) and it placed me just outside Lion’s Arch, inside Gendarran Field.

I am assuming there may be a ‘time-out’. Perhaps due to the cluttering in the zone of too many people together in a rather tight spot? (After all, Vigil Keep is much smaller than the entirety of Lion’s Arch, everything is much more spread out there). Might also be a problem with the server itself, hard for me to say.

Anyway, I hope this gives some information to the dev team to help solving this problem. I’ve seen some bugs here and there, but this connection issue is really a quite serious one.

I’m kind of having the same problem, but it started just this morning. I can’t login to a character in Gendarran fields, but my other chars in other places in Tyria are no problem.

I’ve succeeded twice to actually load the char in gendarran but when I try to move to another wp outside gendarran the game closes.

I get the following error message:
The game client lost its connection to the server… Error code:7:11:3:191:101

Added: I’m on Far Shiverpeaks server

I’m not sure if it’s related or not but I went to the Heart of the mists this morning through Gendarran and my character seemed to be stuck on the loading screen there. After a few minutes it gave me the error message and restarted the game, after that I managed to get them out and evacuated to DR.

Edit: I’m on Desolation server

Just happened to me in Blazeridge when I was about to start shooting the Shatterer. Anyway. Last time this happened, before now, was 1.5 week ago, and uhm, it lasted for a day or two then it just went away. Dunno what’s goin’ on.
