Game Disconnects my internet
You’re not alone, there was something in the recent update that screwed up the game. The game usually does work. I wish there was some advice I could give you but I’m at a loss as well, although my issue is different but a lot of people are having difficulties as a result of the update a few days ago. I’m taking the wait an see approach hopefully they’ll fix it.
Same problem..if it alt-tab i get internet for a few sec, but i cant keep alt-tabing every 4 sec..
Thats not the game at fault. This is known as connection “flooding”. Basically your connection is not able to keep up the connection speed it is supposed to and is getting “flooded” with information then crapping out.
Any game, (and I do mean any game) that has consistant internet access requirements will have issues of flooding when the connection is unstable.
Things to try;
Ensure you firewall is correctly set to allow the GW2 exe access to the web
Ensure your AV package is set to “ignore” the GW2 exe, and is fully updated
Check your router / modem is configured correctly and has Upnp enabled
If problems still persist, contact your ISP and lodge a complaint for technical help. It will likely require an engineers assesment, as most remote tests by ISP’s wont show up many issues (like bad line quality / excessive signal noise etc).
I’m not so good with PCs, but i will try what you said.
EDIT: Also, i am connected to an AirLink since my room is to far away from the router, but this has nothing to do with it, right? Other MMOs work, Like LOTRO and WoW.

Airlink could very well be the problem. Wifi connections are spotty and prone to data loss especially when a lot of electronics are in between the computer and the router in another room.
It is reccomended to play connected directly to the modem/router at all times with all online games.
Hm, i can’t reach my router..but i can reach my airlink. Do you think that will help? It’s gonna be annoying not have wireless lol
Oh boy, tried resetting my router…first time i did it, but it seem worse now -.- i guess i did something wrong
Just power it , and the modem down. Wait 1 minute to ensure power has cycled out and there is no residual charge then restart them. Modem first, router second.
Oooo, it works better now! I do not want to say for sure tho, but right now its no lag at all as far as i can see.
Good show, enjoy playing!
Ugh, i knew it was to good to be true…very laggy again. But i’m not going to give up…going to reach 80 even if i can only play 2 mins at a time :p
