So I think I speak for everyone and not just me that the game has had some really bad lag and connection issues these past couple of days. I know it’s not my computer because I can play every other game and browse the internet with ease. Only GW2 has had issues. What’s going on with the servers? Why has the game been so bad with connections lately?

I think it’s related to the upcoming patch. This usualy happens before a patch, so it’s nothing new

I’ve not experienced either issue. Maybe the occasional system lag, from 16 people all using their flashiest AoE moves at once in the same location in sPvP, but no server lag or connection issues.

I haven’t had any problems with lag or connections or anything. So, not speaking for everyone. =)

Sorry to hear about your issues.

I’ve had this issue since around April 1st. Its getting kind of ridiculous i went from 60fps on recommended settings to 6fps, and lowered my maxed recommended settings to best performance for only 19fps. I also can run all the latest games with no problem on near max settings.

I’ve been experiencing massive in-game lag since Thursday, April 10.

So bad, that I’ve been simply doing dailies and then logging off.

I am so annoyed by the sheer amount of lag, rubberbanding and disconnection after the patch. I CANNOT enjoy the game if this carries on.

I’ve experienced the same issue for about 2 weeks now and sent some trace route screens to anet via spvp forums. No reply or reasoning but my son and I have both been having the same skill lag and rubber banding issue going on.

I am also getting this issue. Normally my skill lag is at most half a second, but it can last like half of a minute during world bosses with huge groups or in large WvW zergs, to the point where I disconnect due to lag.

I’ve had the same problem, but I think I might have found a fix. I just installed onto another desktop with better graphics card and CPU and the DCs are gone. It’s either a clean reinstall or the higher specs that fixed the problem.

Edit: It seems that the DCs have been replaced by massive 10s lags when I’m near large groups/zergs, but I remain in the game…

Add me to the list.

It has made world events like Teq impossible. Even with graphics set to best performance there’s a 30sec-2min chat lag and skills just blink. Then I disconnect. Reconnect and put on overflow map… far fewer people, but lag remains though to a lesser degree.

Been lagging extremely bad since yesterday. I normally never have lag issues and its not related to my connection since it’s fine in other games etc.
Now I keep disconnecting or have the game crash, I have huge lag spikes (which make the game unplayable), yesterday all of a sudden I couldn’t talk in guild anymore because it said I was not in a guild.
The worst lag was in the megaservers but I also lag in dungeons, normal maps, …

Been having the same problem, this has happened to me in the past, to fix it I just logged in to the game on my other computer and when I reverted back to the other system the issues had gone. This time no such luck. Also given me dishonour for 2 days because it made me DC from PVP.

I just started having this issue yesterday or the day before, but now, half the time when I log in I get maybe a few seconds of actual playtime before I lose the connection.

This is super disappointing, because I’m new to the game and just got high enough to play dungeons. But with this issue I won’t be able to run any of them.

I finally got an answer on my ticket:
"""
Press and hold the Windows key and then hit the R key. This should bring up the Run dialog box.

Type “MSCONFIG” without the quotes, and click “OK.” This should open the System Configuration Utility.

Click on the “Services” tab and check the “Hide All Microsoft Services” check box near the bottom, then click the “Disable All” button. (You MUST click “Hide all Microsoft Services”)

Next go to the “Startup” tab and click the “Disable All” button.

Once these items are all disabled, click the “OK” button and you will get a prompt to restart your computer. Please restart your computer.

Once you return to Windows, please try connecting to the game again.

It didn’t work for me, but it might for someone else

This #@$#ing sucks. The lag is so unbearable that I just can’t play this godkitten game right now.

It was fine around 5-8 days ago. But a few days before the patch to this point in time, this game is just unplayable. I lag every 4 seconds.

Fix this crap so i can play gw2.

Edit- lol… They censored one of my words with “godkitten”. sigh. Can’t really blame them, though. Interestingly, they didn’t censor “crap” LOL.

I and some of my guildmates are having problems as well these couple days. We would randomly disconnect from the game often, and/or get severe latency, while in-game chat and VOIP and other things worked fine.

And by severe latency, I mean unplayable level of latency. Everyone around you would just stop moving and skills would take anywhere between 5~60+ seconds to activate, while you can still use in-game chat and everything else that requires a net connection. While you lag, others seemed to have no such problems, and this happens in both open world and in dungeon instances.

This started happening mostly after the 4/15 patch.

Came back to play on the 15th and I’ve been having this problem the whole time. Other games run fine, etc.

First thing I did coming back was run CoF Story with my guild, and they wanted me to bring my zerker warrior. Barrels of fun on a ten second delay. Had to sit out the end because it was impossible for me to participate with lag + giant fiery death-boulders.

As well and probably also latency related, my downed skill 4 would never work during that run and I kept constantly dropping dead when nowhere near combat, no downed state and no armor damage. I suspect the latency was causing the game to detect me walking off a cliff, while to me and my party, I was standing healthy in the group one second and dead on the ground at their feet the next.

I have had pretty awful lag aside from that CoF run, but that was the pinnacle of horrific lag since the patch so far.

Every 10 seconds, my game lags for 2 seconds.

But only when it counts.

I can activate skills as much as I want and walk normally and gather nodes and craft and anything else not related to combat perfectly without delays.

But if I enter combat, or do anything in PvP or WvW, every 10 seconds, I get a 2000ms lag spike.

Add me to this list as well. The problem started with patch then, after that first mini-patch to fix issues everything seemed fine. Second mini-patch brought back major lag for me. I know its not my internet or computer, since everything runs fine except for guild wars.

I would never leave this game for another, but I have to admit that its getting very frustrating, since I can’t even do map completion without the lag interfering.

Please fix this soon!

Same errors as the dudes who posted the pictures.
Started very recently, and now im getting them the whole day.

I didnt stopwatch it but id say once in about an hour or so (sometimes more frequently).
Everything else works fine, then it goes to a mess along with GW2.

Funny thing though, it never happens when GW2 is turned off.
Fix this junk, WvW quenes are long enough as it is.

Every since the patch i’ve had the same skill lag and disconnects. It only happens in the megaserver maps however so I feel it’s related to that. I’ve even dropped my options to be best performance and it doesn’t make any difference.

I’ve been suffering this morning from constant disconnects. I’ve never had these sort of issues before. My ISP says that it’s not their end… so I’m assuming it’s the server end. This morning I’ve been in WvW and got dumped 6 times already. This makes game play very difficult. I’ve never had drops like this before without totally legit issues like my power going out. This and a bit of lag last night seem to have occured AFTER the last patch. Could you please indicate if this is a known issue that you are attempting to resolve. This would probably make me feel better knowing that you are looking into it, and it might make others feel that their concerns have been heard and are being taken seriously. I know that Tech Support can be a stressful job and I don’t intend to make it any more stressful. Thanks for your assistance.

This describes my problem as well. Haven’t successfully done ANY world bosses at all, since I would always crash during the event, then would usually be shunted to a different server due to megaserver if I can get back in.
