network error
Same happening for lots of players on lots of maps. Personally encountered this problem with Sparkfly Fen, Bloodtide Coast and the Mad Labyrinth. Usually restarting the computer fixes it, so it could be something the GW2-client puts into your RAM.
I just ran into the same issue a few minutes ago – Megadestroyer was about to start, and I suddenly got kicked off the map, then encountered numerous server errors as I first tried to get back onto the map and then tried to get to Lion’s Arch.
Same here. I was hunting down pumpkins in Queensdale and suddenly none of my commands were going through, though I could still move around. Said it could be firewall or privacy, but turning my firewall off did nothing. >: Restarting and all that didn’t help either. I’m assuming it’s something weird on Arenanet’s side.
This is still happening, even after patch....all other sites and games work fine.
[FIX]Along with multiple other people i confirmed that guesting another server solves the problem, you will be placed back into the map you were before. You still cant enter the map you got stuck on but you can at least get yourself out.

same here… 30min trying to join sparkly fen .. without suceeding
Classic bug (code=5.11.3.159.101) on ArenaNet side, it just seems it does have some minor variations. In my case after multiple attempts I can actually get into the map I was aiming for. Each attempt client crashes but there’s always minor chance it pass through. And my character can be played again.
I suppose chance depends on amount of players trying to get to the certain map. Prior Tequatl or Karka event for example.
sum:
bug duration: since 25.10.2014
other MMOs: no problem with connection
behavior: Game displays white screen with error message “Network error. The inability to connect to Guild Wars 2 may be caused by internet routing issues or a server network failure.” After pressing OK (client crashes) game drops to the login screen.
For me this was yesterday a reproducable game crash whenever i tried to log in with my necromancer, with that I logged out from the Halloween Labyrinth Map.
using characters that were parked in other maps, I had absolutely no problems with, just only when I tried to login with my necromancer to start in the Labyrinth Map, the game just loads and loads, and after like 2 minutes the game crashes with that Network Error meesage and brigns me then back to the login client (wtf)
All this started with the hotfix patch 2 days ago, before of this patch I had no game crashes at all when startign with a character, whom I had parked in the labyrinth patch.
Now I can’t play my Necromancer anymore as logn either Anet fixes this bug or until Halloween is over and the game should put my Necromancer then back to Lions Arch or so when the Map doesn’t temporarely exist anymore for my character to start there.
It isn’t the first time, that this kind of bug happened that the game crashes, if you try to change to a specic map, to a specific game mode, a specific dungeon and so on ….
I think thta has something to do with the map servers losing connection somehow to the login servers, and that when this happens, you lose in that moment the connection to the game resulting in the game crash with that Network Error.
The only thing i don’t understand is, why then no crashes happen, when you go with an other character from outside into the labyrinth map. Why the crash reproducable happens only with characters, that you parked there, when you logged off.
I’ve had this error code pop quite often by now over the past few days. Usually a workaround to get the affected characters back was to log onto a character in a region that is not as often affected like Hoelbrak. After that I usually got the affected character “freed” when logging back onto them.
But now one of my characters is stuck in eternal transit between Lion’s Arch and the Black Citadel. Stupid me for trying to use the asura gate, I guess.
When I try to log onto her the loading screens switch 2-4 times between LA and BC and then I get the Network Error Code others have already provided screenshots of.
I’ve been trying for about half an hour now and am close to giving up on my character for now.
A fix or at the very least an acknoledgement that this is being looked into would be very much appreciated…
you may keep them to rear new and interesting variants in your basement.
I have the same issue. We will probably not see any reaction from ArenaNet until it is Monday morning for them. And even then I don’t expect any reaction. It will hopefully just disappear when they restart some servers.
I ran into the same issue trying to load Southsun Cove. Other maps (seem to) load fine.
Edit: Sparkfly Fen also broke for me. Seems to be an issue when there are a lot of people on the map?

Third time today that i constantly get dc´s when i trying to join the poped arena invitation. im lovin it FIX THAT
There is still a way to make your character unstuck from the loading error but this can only be done when you waypointed and not through an asura gate or map portal.
Just guest another server and you will be placed back into the mapo you were in before, but if you are on a portal or asura gate you will instantly load into the bugged map again.
Its happening all over the game now.. Divinity Reach has popped this 3 times for me in the last 15minutes, Labyrinth access causes errors, zoning in/out of LA causes errors, Timberline is bugged to hell still, Gendarran the same, PvP is having issues, .. everywhere is – something is up for sure.. and its getting worse every day imo.
