Guild Wars 2

…No, it’s not my ISP. It’s happening a lot in cursed shore and WvW where populations are packed in. Surprisingly, I haven’t been bumped to any overflow. Could any of the ANet people shed some light on this one?

When Anet pushes a patch, they maintain two instances for their servers. One server to maintain old players so they do not crash in dungeons and other content instance. The other server maintains the patched and updated client instance. They having problems with balancing load between these two states I believe.

Awww man. I’m in cursed shore right now and I pop a shout… 5 seconds later after some moonwalking and other characters teleporting around me, it activates.

Bumping this, am getting crazy lag since the patch.

i got the same issue the last few days, also when in WvW things stop and a few seconds later it all goes lighting fast (to catch up) its getting really annoying

bad lag especially during dragon events

Not too worried about the Dragon events myself, they are laggy for me all the time every time, but the lag in the Cursed Shore has gotten bad. It wasn’t this horrible before the last patch. No idea what’s causing it but BUMP for great justice. It’s painful going to do a wee farm in the morning when it’s kind of quiet only to be watching dem gorillas run in place all day long.

Well,since the last patch the game became became almost unplayable.I click to use ride the lightning,and it responds only 2-4 seconds after.Significant lag when autoattacking.Fix this,please,i am not the only one with is issue.
And yes,i checked my connection,it seems totally fine in all other cases.

I was just going to make a post about this but here’s one already! I’m not going to go into Dragon style event lag, I think everyone knows about that. I don’t WvW ever so I can’t comment there either. However in Cursed Shore and Dungeon runs for the past couple of days I’ll get random lag spikes, for about 10seconds my framerate plummets so that I’m basically having to guess at what my character needs to be doing. This tends to happen a lot more in cursed shore than in dungeons. I’ve tried running graphics on all lowest possible settings but it still happens. After the 10seconds on either “best performance” or “auto detect” my gameplay resumes to being as smooth as I’ve ever known it to be. In cursed shore it happens again within a few minutes if there are a lot of other players around, in dungeons it’s not common enough to be able to guess when it’ll happen again but the fact that there’s only 5 players rendered might mean this isn’t necessarily caused by other players. I haven’t changed my hardware in months and this has only just started happening so either there’s something not right with the game or there’s something going wrong with my hardware that I’m unaware of. If there’s any way to find out I’ll do it, I just have no idea how. lol.

No latency issues after today’s patch for me.

I have been having lag issues as well so I’m glad to hear its not just me. To add a bit more to it, my girlfriend was sitting right next to me playing on a 2nd computer and didn’t have one lag issue the whole time. I actually got disconnected multiple times during that time.

Nothing worse then being in dungeon or just in the world, lagging out, getting disconnected and coming back dead. At least I had someone there to rez me but its frustrating to say the least. Its been happening a bit longer then the last 2 days. Before that everything has been running smooth.

same for me, lag which eventually leads to the game getting disconnected every 10 minutes or so. i thought it was my firewall at first, turned it off but same thing keeps happening.

Confirmed. Crazy lags today, it’s not “skill lag” like in WvW, but looks like client losing connection for 1-2 sec, then restore, lose, restore, lose…

I never had any problems staying connected until today’s patch which was supposed to ‘fix’ crashing issues.

I, too, am getting the ‘…game client lost connection with the server’ and having to reconnect. Four times just during a maw event.

/sigh

speaking as somebody whos been reformed by the gods of this realm, all of these problems have to be on the users end, this game and its servers are flawless.

you need to look at amd/intel/nvidia/microsoft/exct and your isp as to why you have any problems with this game….because nothing is anets fault.
