Connection Issues: July 11 and 12
Mac OS Native (64-Bit) client users:
Assuming you installed to the default location, the following should work for you as a workaround:
Open Terminal (Launchpad → Other → Terminal), and enter the following at the prompt:
/Applications/Guild\ Wars\ 2\ 64-bit.app/Contents/MacOS/GuildWars2 -authsrv 54.89.152.137 -assetsrv 64.25.41.2
That should get you going.
Do I have to change my DNS, Chris?
No, but it would probably be best since Google DNS is more up to date than what your ISP provides.
First you should try flushing your DNS. Open cmd.exe (search the start menu) and enter the following command:
ipconfig /flushdnsAlternatively, you can use the -assetsrv option mentioned throughout this thread.
EU user here. I had the same problem and did did the CMD command, worked perfectly. If you can’t enter, I suggest you try this
i am in slovakia, and still i cant log in
hopefully they will compensate us with something worth after this, maybe FREE LEGENDARY FOR EVERYONE!
Still getting the same old message in England – I restarted the computer, which took 25 minutes as there was the previously-mentioned Windows 10 update to install…
Still not working, it said Download fail, check your internet connection. My internet connection is fine!
I am based in the UK.
Yes This works.
Right click on your gw2 shortcut icon on the desktop.
select properties, in the target field paste the following
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -assetsrv 64.25.41.2
Note the addition at the end with a space after "
Good luck!
Still having issues logging in. (Norway) I tried the DNS flush, and it didn’t help, unfortunately. I am not willing to try anything else because I don’t want to mess something up with a temp fix.
NA Sea of Sorrows here.
Reset my router and seemed to fix things for a moment, but has since gone back to same connection error.
ipconfig /flushdns worked for me, it seems that we need to do this. I have finally downloaded and I am in the login screen
im on EU (Germany)…still no conection to the server.
this: -authsrv 206.127.146.73 -assetsrv 64.25.41.2 does not work for me.
tryed all other given ip’s and they didnt work.

Not working here in East Coast, NA.

This little help, i am able download update, but still i am not able log in, it write: Connection failed, please try again
I also have this problem, if it’s of any help, Guilld Wars 1 has this same issue.
I deleted the game, “arena.net” you are the best ….. (I managed to play 1 day after buying the game)
I also tried to reinstall the client because i thought the problem was at my end. now i cannot re-download the game. When will we be able to download the game again?
Found a solution :
Step 1 : Plug OUT your ethernet cable if you are using direct connection to your router.
Step 2 : Connect to your Wifi
Should work !
The work around worked but now in a data archive repair with no isea if its working or how long till its finished
having connection error and i just uninstall gw2 and trying to reinstall it again but wtf cant even download the game in gw2 setup also connection error .

No good here in Ireland.
(Just wanna mine some Copper on my lunch break )
As stated its a DNS server thats taking some time to update. Simply wait for an hour (yes yes, we all have the patience of a demented goldfish) and try again.
Dont waste time deleting your game, it will simply cause you to download 30+ gigs before you can play…
I’m in NA and I have the same issue still. Futhermore, the assertsrv workaround didn’t work.
If you can access these forums, you can access the NA servers. You either did it wrong or have another issue, such as a firewall blocking it. You can verify your ability to access the asset servers by visiting http://origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com/, which should show “page not found” with a little info.
if you dont know how, try out this video
I just got up and this Still isnt fixed?? stoopid hackers

I am from Europe, but I am playing in NA servers. Game says: Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…
Is this somehow related now that Net neutrality boycot what most of largest operators and suppliers is doing today. They said that net connections may be very slow and doesn’t work equally, because they want to show how net will work if there is not net neutrality going on.
If it is because of that, we all should give thanks to President Trump and his ideas to take off that net neutrality. This will be result for taking off that equal net connections.
If you don’t know what Net neutrality means, here is link to wikipedia for it:

Roughly my first forum post ever. From Europe and internet is working fine. “ipconfig /flushdns” didn’t work, but adding “-authsrv 206.127.146.73 -assetsrv 64.25.41.2” seems to make it update at least. Now it’s repairing (GW2 prompted me to repair itself). Afterwards it updated and loaded.
