Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played GWs in a few weeks, but I want to again, however when I go to launch the game i get the normal window prompt with the red text in the lower left hand side that says "Connection error(s) detected retrying…. "

No idea what to do.

I’m Also getting this error
Ive read on the forums that you should run cmd prompt and reset your winsock catalog, which i have tried but to no success.
A lot of people also say AVG conflicts and to try turning off your firewalls and seeing if that helps but even with no firewalls i am getting the same message.
Tried to contact support with the utility but no response from tech support at all.
Can anyone help us out with this please?

I don’t use AVG, and my firewalls never gave it a problem, I even ran it with no restrictions. Is this a virus or a bug on Anets part?

I’ve played since launch, never with any issue… so what is the deal?

I dont know what it is, if i did, i would fix it because im in the same boat as you are!
I dont have any firewalls or antivirus programs running and still get it as well.
My best guess is its something on arena nets side, or something conflicting with their launcher, which could be fixed by them also in a patch.
Could we please get some tech support onto this?
I know alot of people out there have the same problem!

I was getting this error this morning (never seen it before either). restarting my computer fixed it. that’s probably not much help, but that’s usually my first step in troubleshooting and it worked.

I’m having the same issue. I’ve been trying off and on for 2 hours with no luck.

I just got mine to work. I didn’t notice until I tried to run my anti-virus that it was widespread. I kept getting the same notice on different programs saying that I wasn’t connected to the internet when I was able to download and surf websites. I went and got a free malwear scanner and ran it, deleted what it found, then restarted my computer. That seemed to do the trick. Perhaps there is a virus or something floating around on your hard drives as well preventing programs from accessing the internet.
