Guild Wars 2

Since the last patch the game has become unplayable.

Whenever there is a reasonable size group activity (20-30+) I get the same symptoms.
Sound cuts out, people continue to move in straight lines till they hit an obstacle or continue the same animation. Then, after several seconds everything rubber-bands to a new position and sound returns. More often than not, I’ve been killed during that time.

If the hiatus goes on for more than a few seconds, I get disconnected with a ‘client has lost connection’ message.

Anyone else suffering? It’s impossible for me to play at all now unless I want to wander around Lion’s Arch and talk to NPCs.

Yes. I almost wrote a duplicate of your post a few days back.

I get those symptoms always for the Frozen Maw, and sometimes from a couple of other bosses. I’ve been disconnected repeatedly during those conditions, and lost credit for the fight more than once. I also see lots of comments in chat that would indicate we are not alone.

Something serious changed when the Teq update went live that exacerbated symptoms that were always there occasionally, to become predictably common.

I just deleted the dat file and ran repair just to be sure it wasn’t a client installation issue.

No change. This is a game-reaking bug, introduced in the last patch. If it isn’t fixed soon I’m going to have to abandon the game. It makes WvW impossible – and that’s my only interest now.
