Guild Wars 2

I started getting horrible lag to GW2 servers yesterday afternoon. I ran the -diag tool this morning and I have attached the tracerts. There is up to 96% packet loss on some of my hops.

In combat I spike up to 1900 ping and any actions are seriously lagged behind keypresses. I am getting 70-90 FPS so it’s not graphic/cpu related.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? My service provider is Time Warner.

Note: I am even having problems accessing and posting on these forums (Keeps timing out).

I have today in Silverwaste. It typically either happens around certain players only or a server issue.

same here , yesterday i was doin full tarir defense , now i cant even walk out of an empty wp without 4 sec delay , and its always me who gets all the bugs when they patch

5days now, everyday DC/Highping/Dc, most of my guildmates have same problem. 5 games in row got dc/leaver in team cuz ppl get DC for no reason.

I am not getting DCd at all but I am watching my ping go from <100 out of combat to 500-1900 in combat when I start pressing keys. There is a very noticeable delay in the firing of skills (Obviously) and it’s really starting to get frustrating.

I have ZERO problems with my connection in any other way other than playing this game. The tracert that I posted earlier from their diagnostic tool shows the packet loss on their hops, and not in my transit to their servers.

Note: Keeping my options window up my FPS is stable and has no issues. It’s just my PING that is all over. It’s stable out of combat but in NPCs bounce all over the place.

I am on the forums looking for any recent issues with latency in GW2. I, personally, have not experienced this issue but my friend has.

A few days ago we had finally decided to shell out the cash and swap from American servers to European servers. Since the swap, I have not had any issues at all but he has, for some reason, been experiencing an incredible lag that has never been a problem with GW2 before. (Oh, I am in Norway and he is in Belgium).

He has checked his connection through and through for any issues and can’t seem to find any. It’s only GW2 he is having this problem with and it seems to have been only after the server swap.

Before we dish out an insane number of gems again for a switch because a European is having lag on Euro servers (:s), we’re looking to see if it is another issue that might be resolved at some point.

D/C’s aren’t so much the issue as just high latency almost constantly. In and out of combat, anywhere in the world map.

So, I just ran their diagnostic tool again on a Thursday morning and below hops are the only ones I am still experiencing issues with. This is obviously on their side. Whatever these two hops are below are causing me massive packet loss.

Use OpenDNS. TWC has a horrible DNS. Also try resetting & restarting the modem.

If that fails call them and ask if them if you have a line issue.

I am using Google DNS already. As I said, I have no other issues with my internet connection to any other services. I downloaded a 30 gig game yesterday while the GF was streaming a movie off iTunes and I was watching a Twitch stream with no issues. Understand that’s not a full proof test of my internet…just giving an example.

I have 50 down 5 up from Time Warner. You can see from the original tracert and the one I just posted above that I am getting massive PL on their NCSOFT hops and nowhere else on my path to the server. How would it be my connection if the only 2 hops showing packet loss are on their servers?

I seriously doubt it’s my internet causing the problem.

the same for me, and i have a random disconnects on change map or pvp (I did not connect on the wvw).

Exactly the same for me as well , since yesterday horrible lag everywhere and it gets worst in the new areas , i never had any problem whatsoever in the 3 years i play but since yesterday this started to happen.

I’m noticing severe lag today, especially in Verdant Brink.

After expansion came out, I have been experiencing severe increase in lag that at most times makes the game unplayable since there is like 10 seconds of delay or more and sometimes it will lead to the game crashing on me. I think it might be my connection with the game servers because sometimes it just kicks me out to character selection telling me the connection to server is nonexistent. I thought at first it might be my ping and fps, but it isn’t the case and the x64 client does not seem to solve the crash and lag issue. This is experienced in PvE content, but in WvW, this lag makes it completely impossible since every second practically counts when roaming or fighting zergs.

I have been experiencing the same issue the last 2 days. 4-5 second delay in skill use, with 400-1900 ping. Making the game unplayable.

I also experienced this in the Blade and Soul beta this last weekend (also ncsoft servers).

In all other games my ping is normal <100, usually around 40.

Same here, I get random dc from the game.
During combat i have 1-3 seconds lags.

I’m having the same issue. Ever since yesterday I’ve been lagging out and DC’ing like crazy. Especially during events I have a 3-5 second lag using skills before I just get booted from the game. Sometimes it goes to the login screen and other times it’s a full DC.

Same, seems to have started a day or 2 ago. If there are no events, my ping and everything is perfectly fine, as soon as a big event start, the ping sky rockets (2300+ was the worst I’ve had) and makes the game unplayable or I just get completely disconnected. I know it’s not my internet, because this is the only game/application that is having this problem. And like some of you have tried, the 64-bit client doesn’t make a difference at all with this problem.

problem solved today

I’m having lagging issue as well. It has been occurring for the past one week, everyday or every night. Please help.

I’m experiencing lag issues since yesterday. I made some tests and -diag. I had the same situation as Menion. Only some servers completly lost all packets.

Lags are strange: I can’t attack and use skills. When i move and die, my teammates can’t ress me. However everyone can see what i type on chat when im on “lag” and I checked it with teamspeak on and ping test active.

Sometimes i have DCs without actual leaving a game, so when i come back i’m in the same place of the same map.

Today i was on fractal run. Everyone had lags like me and we wiped. Meantime when i asked guildies if they have lags, they said they don’t (most of them). Looks like this problem affects only part of players. I don’t know why.

Same problem with me, especially in PvP, and it never occurred to me before so it must be that. I don’t know what ping his so I’ll assume that’s the reason.

I’ve also been getting terrible lag for the past few days. I’ve turned off/unplugged router and modem for ~30 mins, but after running a tracert, it appears to be on NCSoft’s servers end. Here is my traceroute result:

It started around Friday night. I’ve been experiencing lag that lasts long enough for a disconnect. I stopped trying to do meta-events since I’ll pop into an empty map with my progress gone.
