Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 on my new Razer Blade 14" for a few days now without any problems, and installed Bitdefender Total Security last night and continued to play GW2 without any issues. I was just in game in the Lamprey Grottoes, speaking with a Charr NPC near some tank machinery and a message came up saying “New build available. Your client will restart in 3 minutes”—I’m not sure if I got that message because Anet was performing a system update, or it had something to do with me speaking with the NPC (I’m not familiar with the game mechanics, so I don’t know if a “Build” is something I could have unlocked by speaking with an NPC).

I stepped away from my computer for about 30 minutes, and when I came back I was no longer in GW2, and when I tried to open it again, I got this error. I checked my Bitdefender firewall, and there’s a green check mark next to GW2. Can anyone help me out?

I am having the same problem now.

Same problem, but no new installs since logout last night..

ok, suddenly my anti virus (or firewall) decided to block it apparently, disabled both for 15 min – and BAM, patching & in

/shrug

It WAS my firewall! That’s so weird; it was working fine for a day with the firewall, and then it started getting blocked… EVEN THOUGH I set a rule approving gw2.
