Guild Wars 2

It lets me play all my chars fine but it doesn’t let me play my guardian Frostbane Tohvel, it was in a LONG loading screen when I was WPing to Vale WP, then I quitted since it was so long and started it up again and it just keeps going long loading then that same error. I’m so kitten off, your telling me I gotta do my char ALL OVER AGAIN? please fix it, I cannot start all over again..

I’m getting is error a lot now. This horrible lag and disconnection has lasted a week now and still no fix for it.

I know it’s not my computer because I’ve been playing since November of last year fine.
I’ve been receiving this error for what seems to be a month or two now, and sometimes it will just stop happening but now it’s gotten to a point where I can’t play at all.
I’ve done everything I could possibly do to fix this on my own and by what it seems on this thread going to the Tech support or whatever is a waste of time.
I absolutely love the game, but I refuse to have to tolerate going in and out every few seconds.

Plus, I know it has nothing to do with the internet.
I live with a friend and he runs it perfectly fine, no lag whatsoever.
So, like it’s constantly been stated here, this needs to be fixed.
I don’t like thinking I just wasted my money and time on something that’s broken.
I also don’t like thinking that I gave my money to people that won’t fix said thing that’s broken.

I have also been getting the (code=7:11:3:189:101) Error. Everyday. But only between the times of 11am – 5pm (US-Central) By 6pm I no longer get the error. If there is a fix to this I would love to hear it. on my days off I would like to play before 6pm. Take into thought this also as nothing to do with the internet, or the internet security, I have already tested these options with no luck.

Everyday multiple times per day since Feb patch. I enjoy hearing my friends on vent tell me what my guy is doing ingame while I tell them Im halfway across map on my screen.

This just started happening to me as well. I have never had a problem prior, and I have been playing since launch. I don’t understand what changed.

Kicked out in a middle of a boss fight. Thats kittened up.. this game is coming closer and close to not even being worth playing because Ha you cant play. ever sence that god kitten frost fire patch…

Seriously this is getting annoying now. I lag so hard that I can’t even fight then I get dc. It works for awhile then does it all over again.

I’m constantly being booted also. Can’t do any story or dungeons without worrying about constant disconnections; ruled out issues on my end. Tried multiple wifi connections with more than one computer. Come on ANet, at least mention awareness of the problem and an estimated fix. Right now it feels like it’s being ignored.

It seems like quite a few people started to get this d/c error since the March 1st patch. In instances, my skills would suddenly stop working. It’s odd b/c I can still see other people moving around and fighting. In about 30-40 seconds, all my skills in the action bar would start blinking constantly but none of my skills will actually go off. And then in a few seconds I get d/ced.

Sometimes, I’d be running and instantly die b/c of fall damage when I’m actually nowhere near that place on my screen. What happens is then people would rez my body that’s not actually where I see myself.

It almost feels like I’m receiving information, but my inputs are being lost somewhere. Usually when I can feel a d/c coming, I log off and log back in. About 60% of the time, this fixes the issue for about 5-30 minutes, and it happens again. In worse situations, I get a really long loading time and my skills won’t go off when I’m done loading. Then I repeat to log in and out hoping that I don’t get disconnect signs.

I have never had this issue before the March 1st patch. Yes there were some disconnects here and there and some lags, but nothing like these frequent disconnects. I’m from the US east coast playing on a relatively good internet connection. As usual, none of my other games have issues like this.

The worst part of this issue is that, I feel bad for the rest of my dungeon buddies who have to wait for me and I end up wasting their time. It also makes me very anxious every minute b/c I don’t know when I’d be hit with a d/c. I tried playing on a different computer, reset my router, changed my ethernet cables, and the exact same disconnect and telltale signs occurred.

Please fix this issue for us. Thank you, Anet.

same here, problems since last big patch. just fooled around for 20 mins, lag in map, no npc’s etc, I log out and in again, same. I choose another char, I get this error message while map loads, then game exits to login screen. /repeat

As everyone else, I haven’t changed a bit of HW or SW, all other games etc run fine etc….this is so frustrating

I suspect my connection isn’t helping, though it’s certainly rather strange to have the game work for a few minutes, then disconnect and give me this error any time I try to log in until the next day.

At least in past, if I got booted out, it would let me log back in.

So are we ever going to get any type of fix or update? Or are you going to keep ignoring us and act like there’s not a problem.

I keep having this same issue as well. Started last week. I’ve tried stopping my anti-virus and firewall. I forwarded ports, too. Nothing works. After I login to my main toon, I get dc’d shortly thereafter. Played for 3 months with no problem before this!
What’s going on?

Been playing since day 1 and this started maybe a month ago. Now it’s pretty constant, but tends to happen most in wvw. I tried the stuff listed here, but none of it has worked. I only have issues with this game.

Bought this game a week or two ago, played without disconnecting issues until the last few days. Now every 5 to 10 minutes I’m having to log back in. This only happens on this game, I have no issues what so ever with other applications. Can we please get this handled? I’d like to give this game a fair shot, but if I can’t play it…

Yerk, again tonight. Are we going to deal with this all weekend again?

C’mon, figure it out.

Well this only happened just today, so I’ll give it some time. It sends me right back to the Character Selection after the error pops up (usually within 3-5 mins).

Same here.
When it started i couldnt start GW2 and then ingame it it immediately the error ;(
I hope they can fix the problem soon and im playin the mac version

I keep getting this error that started today. Keeps me dc-ing after couple minutes. I tryed with different account on different computer and keep getting the same. I really hope Anet is fixing this because game is unplayable.

I’m experiencing insane lag and disconnects (Err 7) since I logged in about an hour ago. It’s so bad that the game is unplayable. I just left a fractal group I was in (we were at the start) because the same exact thing happened last Friday evening and I knew they would be carrying me through. This also means that I will probably be missing out on my daily chests after reset because the people I usually go with aren’t having problems and will likely leave me to PuG them once I’m able to stay connected for longer than 5 minutes. This isn’t how I wanted to spend my Friday evening.

I’m on the east coast US. Everything except GW2 seems to be working fine.

same thing started for me this morning and still happening tonight.

This happens everytime when iam in a questline instance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so annooyyyyyyying.
always neary at the end. the serivce kick me out. and i have to start over agian!
about 4-5 times now….come on ppl… do something. the 1st post in here is about 3 month ago from now …….

I’m getting disconnected frequently for the past month with the Code 7 error. I’ve monitored my Internet and it’s working fine since I’m not disconnected from other Internet services such as Teamspeak.

Seems like this disconnect problem is getting worst by the day. Within 1/2 hour, I’ve gotten this Code 7 thing 4 times already. What’s going on? The latest patches have been nightmares…

Massive packet loss and packet order confusion against some servers is what’s happening methinks. From my investigation it does seem to be maps that have been updated recently for new content. I can play any toon I like quite happily in Cursed Shores or Bloodtide but as soon as I switch to Queensdale or Diessa I get the skills not firing and lag jumping like others have and then eventually kicked from the game.

When the packet loss begins I’ve noticed that the game client drops CPU and Network activity completely only coming back to life at random times.

Example of the loss with my Guardian in Diessa:

Doesn’t seem to make a difference whether on home world or guesting at busy times.

I can play in Bloodtide and Cursed shores for hours on end without DC but as soon as I switch to a lower level map… BOOM, lag and DC within 5-10 mins.

UK based gamer on Ruins of Sum, Win8 64-bit etc. etc.

error 7:11:3:189:101 problems start yesterday, got disconnection frequently about 5 min….

Same issue, over and over again.

Yesterday (about 11am) everything worked fine. Now i log in, everything works fine for about 40 seconds, then i cant use any skills /switch weapons etc. Sometimes it resumes after a minute or so but most times i just disconnect with 7:11:3:189:101
I also tryed disabling the Firewall/Antivirus Software and the ports are open.

Hmm..same issue for the last few days! Every once I get lucky and can login for hours at a time and never get disconnected, but other times it kicks me out every 5 minutes! It’s sad that there are no official replies from Anet..I realize it’s “free to play”, but I don’t think I’ve played my first $60 it took to purchase the game yet, so I still have high expectations that, well, ya know, it will actually FUNCTION! Come on, seriously, I would pay to play if it actually freakin worked.

Another one here with the same problem. Started today after the game running smoothly for about two weeks. Tried resetting the Winsock and flushing the DNS, but it didn’t help. I’ll try to contact tech support and see if they can fix it.

Why doesn’t Arena Net know a fix for this yet? if they do can someone put a link of it somewhere visable please.

I have changed my socks and flushed my toilet and that hasn’t helped either..

Sorry, The problem seems rather random as to when it will strike so its hard to track down what might help or what to avoid at this time.
All I know is its stopped me playing I log on and fight through my dailies but WvW is impossible when there is a queue as you drop out so often.

I have started to have this problem to, never had this problem before but it started this week every 2mins i get an error and disconnected dont want to quit the game but might have to..

Been getting this from time to time only recently. Thing is, I run two accounts on two PCs and only get this on ONE of them! When that one DCs the other continues without any problem, whether the character I’m playing on that account is in the same or a different zone.

This is is clearly 100% NOT an ‘internet’ problem, not least because every time I DC on the first PC I re-connect first time immediately without a problem, and also the second PC NEVER DCs at the same time: and since I’ve had a good number of DCs then I’d expect at least some of the time that both PCs would DC at the same time.

Forgot to add, the PC that DCs is nearly always idle, the character is logged it to keep an eye out for events like Behemoth, Claw, etc.

Makes we wonder, is the ‘AFK’ check code broken? At times I’ve seen the 50-second timeout warning and moved the character and the timeout countdown stops .. but other times I’ve seen it down to 40 or 30 then the DC happens with no further warnings.

And again, no timeout warning at all, simply a DC, second PC working just fine throughout.

I can’t add much to what ’s already said sofar.

I’m playing on Drakkar Lake, EU, living in Germany. This d/c problems started this week; a guildmate told me, he had similar troubles about two or so months ago, and it stopped. I kinda hope it works for me and the rest of us here, too. Downside, said guildmate couldn’t play properly for several weeks, so I really hope someone, ANYONE can give us an update about things as they are now.

The trouble is starting here about 3pm, before that I can play more or less normal. Later it becomes impossible: blinking skills, NPCs don’t move anymore (funny enough, I can move around as much as I like… though not for long: either I get pulled back to the original position or I somehow managed to get myself away from where I came from – only to get thrown out of the game anyway), and after a few minutes of cursing, I get my d/c. Dungeons or Story-Missions are nowhere possible with this, not even normal exploring.

I have started to have the same issue. I disconnect 5 minutes after I log in. I am always lagging when I am in-game. The lag delay on my abilities 10-20 seconds on each. Please help!

Same issue. Haven’t played the game much in the last few months, but today the DCs started. Last weekend a friend was over playing on his account with no problems, and now I DC every time I log in. I know my ISP isn’t just going down briefly each time, because my xbox 360 in the same room never DCs when GW2 does.

Also, no software on my PC is interfering, just did a clean install of Win7 recently, and GW2 was the first thing I installed (after my drivers of course).

Just started playing again and I have been having this error constantly. It’s happened multiple times today.

same here.. whats happening? Who did that to you? (John Legend)

Hi all.
I Was having this problem for a couple of days until i started using Razor Game Booster. Completely solved the problem and it’s a good piece of software to use for any game you play. Just and the Gw2.exe file to it and run it from Razor.
—— http://www.razerzone.com/gamebooster —-—

Same problem as everybody else. Get about 3 minutes of playing in before i lag and error 7 pops up. Tried everything, its on there end.

I had been getting this issue for the last two days. After removing all of the ip addresses from my security settings under my account and re-authenticating my current ip address, I seem to have cleared up the issue. Not sure if it’s just lucky timing with off-peak hours so I’ll have to see if it keeps working.

Hi, I have an odd connectivity problem: I always get ONE single disconnection per day, never more than one, never less. The disconnection comes within 15-30 mins since I started playing, the error code is the one in the subject of this topic. Then I can immediately reconnect and everything works fine until next day, when I get again one disconnection, and so on. Things like TeamSpeak keep working while I get the disconnection on GW2, so I don’t think it’s a problem related to my provider. Any ideas?

I have started getting this error since the last patch and I cannot believe this is a connection problem.
My level 80 guardian is now unplayable in WvW assuming I can actually get into the game or battlefield. When I do manage to get in I am either standing about 50 feet above the water south of Garrison unable to move or experiencing extreme lag where skills are taking 2-3 minutes to activate.
However, if I log into my level 80 warrior on the same PC and in the same session there are absolutely no problems whatsoever. Connection problem? I don’t think so

I take it you’ve all tried Razor Game Booster like I suggested earlier in the thread. I’ve not had any d/c problems since using it for GW2.

Funny thing that your name is “Raz” …

I am not a fan of any Razor products or software . I haven’t been having to much trouble lately but I have not been playing much either. The Razor Game Booster looks like a novice way to free up system resources and do some common tweaks so I can see it being of use for some people.

Thanks for the suggestion.
