Guild Wars 2

I’ve had an issue where when I play GW2, my internet connection is… well… disconnected.

It happens with no other program, no streaming services. Game just stops responding, I alt+tab to see what’s up, and find my internet connection disabled.

I did a google search about “gw2 disconnect internet” and was presented with a deluge of results.

…Here’s the thing though, not a single one (that I saw, I suppose I may have missed one among the dozens of results) was replied to by a red tagged response.

People begging for a fix or even an explanation of why this is happening, and instead getting hopeful fix advice like, “reset your router, call your isp, change the stuff in administrative tools, etc”, from others. (Tried all of these, btw.)

So I’m asking for a direct response to an issue that’s plagued/plaguing players to the point where they say screw it and do something else.

I love this game, but being disconnected anywhere from every ten minutes to every couple of hours, and not just a d/c, but my internet adapter(?), that’s just bad news.

So… Why is this happening, and how do we fix it.

I completely feel you, I’ve noticed my adaptor disconnect, as well, when I experience huge lag. Never had this issue before, but lately I’m getting heavy lag spikes, especially in the sanctum sprint race. I also have D/C on maps that have few people, I get maps that everyone is flooding, but not maps that maybe have 10-20 people on them. I’ll reset my router thinking that’s the issue, try different adaptors thinking maybe I have a faulty driver for my adaptor, I’ll do a system clean up thinking maybe something is clogging my system, check for beta updates to see if that is the issue, and update anything and everything that pertains to my game play, yet nothing helps. I’m hoping this issue gets fixed, I can figure with the constant updating with new content to please the people who game hop due to being jaded graphic wh0res, that there will be side effects to the server, namely server issues such as what we have, but time and effort to please the skrit gamers who are all “oooo shiny” needs to be cutback a little to improve the game performance to those who care about the game play and people they met in game more then what new shinies will be out next.

Day 2.
Still happening, still no answer.

I’d like to know too what’s going on … been having the exact same issue, only, it started tonight! It’s extremely frustrating.

Yep i get this, I get various error messages when it happens as well. I can stream, download and even PLAY other games at the same time yet this game seems to like just randomly killing my connection when ever it decides to disconnect.

It has been like this since Beta, though it got better (just) for a while but now its getting worse again, today i have had at least 15 disconnects today alone.

The game wont let me play again giving me an error that it failed to log in or something, and yet i could log into wow, rift or even BOTH and play them both swapping between them without ANY issue. Log out of them and try to log into Guild Wars 2…No go, same error as before.

now you can NOT say its my internet if i am able to log into 2 MMO games and play them, switch between them, even stream videos all at the same time yet Guild Wars 2 on its own wont work…

Still happening, still no answer.

c’mon now, this is getting to be a bit much. You can answer some clown when he gripes about his flute from the gem store, but many of us having problems keeping connected to the internet while playing?

Dropped in the middle of a fractals run again. hurrah.

only happened once yesterday, 3 times tonite so far. all my drivers are up to date, i’ve tried nearly all of the solutions put forward in the other threads about this, but i can’t figure out why it’s still going on. and 3 days without a reply from anyone..

New day, new update, same disconnection of my internet adapter, and only while running gw2.

…and still no response, when the front page is covered in new ones.

Hey, I wanna thank you for taking the time to answer. I guess I didn’t think about it being so hard to pin point. I have times that are better and worse as far as disconnection frequency, and I will submit a support ticket in order to have a more individual look at it.

Thanks again.

every new update will have some chance to lag,this is my experience.for example,since the last update,wvw have a litttle lag: somgetime just stop 3-4 second, and then everything ok.
