Guild Wars 2

I play WvW a lot, and I’m noticing lag spikes lately. They happen for reasons I’m unsure of. They also disconnect me. At one time I thought the main reason behind it was because I linked GW2 to Steam as a non-steam game. So I played it without it, but then they started up again. Hopefully I’m not the only one with this problem? My server is Dragonbrand.

I’m having this issue too, only started today. I can play between 2-5 seconds after logging in, then get a 20-60 second lag. It is non-stop, as soon as the lag stops the lag cycle starts over again. I timed out logging in a couple of times too. To correct the game issue I tried switching characters and completely exited the game with no help. I also scanned my computer for viruses thinking it may be malware but came up clean.

Anyone know if any background downloads of files are going on?

It’s patch week imminent.. lag always seems to intensify a few days before/after for me.
I would hazard a guess something is being done behind the game affecting the servers.. Guess we just need to run with it best we can and hope it doesn’t escalate to much to the point it becomes unplayable, although yesterday for me in Silverwastes that was almost at that point for a good 2-3 hours then it settled only to reappear for a while later on in the afternoon.
