Guild Wars 2

Been having trouble getting into my GW2 account the past week, but now I can’t get in at all. I keep timing out and getting various error codes, the latest being 42:1000:7006:888. I wish you guys would fix the client because I have no trouble at all signing into my GW1 account. Never had security issues with that game so I don’t know why you would use a different authentication method with GW2. That’s all I can think of that would cause the problem. My firewall already allows all connections to/from GW2 so it isn’t that.

Hi,

i’ve had the same problem and an other system error as well….are you livinf in the UK ?

same error code for me, I thought I could start to play gw2 again after a break of 4 months..
here’s my topic

I just found a solution. In the list of error codes that can be found here http://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8994/~error-codes the solution is not listed under code 42 X X X but under code 21 X X X

Here is the solution :
add this :
/clientport 80
at the end of the shortcut’s target line, like this :
“C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe” /clientport 80

This ain’t a real solution to the current problems, just for firewalling issues. It’s just coincidence that it seemed to work for you, since the general problem obviously has stopped for the moment. For me this is the first game session, where the login didn’t fail and that lasts longer than 1 or 2 minutes since yesterday, 18:00 CEST. And it’s not UK only. I get the impression, that there has been (and maybe again will be) a serious routing issue between Europe and the US affecting some ISPs. You can find a lot of similar threads in the different language forums.

I’m not in the UK, I’m in the US east coast. I didn’t have this issue much till I moved last month, but my sister who also plays has had this problem since launch.

Still no ideas I see… It’s weird that I can log into my account on the website, but the client refuses to work. This didn’t start till the Aetherblade content. I would like some answers from the devs please.

Couldn’t log on for 2 days. This solution worked for me. thanks
