Guild Wars 2

Played without a problema til last thursday and yesterday and today i’m having massive lag issues.

At the moment i had trouble logging in, when i used guild chat it said i wasn’t in a guild.

Checking guild everyone showed as unknown and after 30sec-1min they started appearing.

After a while everyone disappeared again.

Skills sometimes take 5secs to work and everything isn’t responding correctly.

I start to believe it has nothing to do with my hardware, connection or something like that.
I played my ele in Wayfarer Foothills. At some point the game started to be unplayable – usual spikes and dcs.
I logged on my thief (another map) => all worked totally smooth. I played a few mins and nothing changed – smooth gameplay.
I logged back on ele – unplayable.
I logged back – smooth.
I logged back on my ele and after a dc and a few mins of waiting I reached Hoelbrak. Skills are working without any delay.

I will test it a bit more but it looks pretty suspicious – one character is unplayable and another character on another map is OK at the same time? After switching the map, unplayable character is OK?

I had it good until today 18:00 after that its dead i can press all my skills nothing only thing that works is CHAT.

Same once again. Massive lags like the ones that happen during every world event, are now everywhere, which makes the game unplayable for me right now. Beside that there’s a disconnect here and there..
Germany – ISP: Deutsche Telekom

Always expiriencing extreme laggs or even disconnects with error 7 around primetime, since the last update.
Location: Swiss (Lausanne)

Game is pretty much unplayable in over half the zones at prime time, and has been for a week. Is this the result of guesting? I’m playing on Aurora Glade which is one of the fuller servers.

Can we get some people to post tracerts here until someone takes notice of the problem?

To do this, in GW2 type /ip and press enter.
Launch command prompt as administrator.

Type “tracert [206.127.146.51]” and press enter.
Let the test finish and copy/paste the results in this thread. Also post your country and ISP.

Drakkar Lake [DE] here,

we experience some heavy lags from people in germany. I for my part don’t have a problem with lag (Austria here).

Been having lag on Aurora Glade server, including multiple disconnects within a short time since the update
Am located in Germany, ISP is Deutsche Telekom, been hearing the same from other people with the same ISP…

Same issue here.
Constant disconnects during primetime, live in Germany and am supplied by Deutsche Telekom.
Due to time constraints I am only interested in hotjoin pvp atm…
so I can´t really offer any knowledge on how lags may only be of problems while in certain zones.

I remember Issues many months back of similar nature… the solution was to switch to a north American server. There the gameplay was as desired.
Nowadays this sadly isn´t possible anymore, at least not without investing gems/money…

Would a free transfer to a different server be too much to ask for while these problems exist?

Regards,
gandhi

Dunno if this helps or not, but i’m too frustrated not to try anything…
The ÎSP is ZON and i’m currently on Desolation EU

same here too germany and same provider ..

It’s Switzerland too, as well as Spain and Portugal going by posts in other forums.

Please put tracerts in here so they can see it easily;

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/ATTN-ANET-Tracerts-for-EU-issues

@Ariete My ISP is also ZON and same problem.

At rest i believe all tracert will end in timeout even for the ppl that don’t have connection problems since the probable cause is arena servers not replying (Firewall).

Anyway my trace is:

Hey guys, can you let it get all the way to 30 before you stop it? each “hop” is important.

well.. i did it again and it keeps timing out all the way up to 30… i don’t see where it would… well anyway it times out each time, i guess that suffices it

As further info same thing happens here.

No lag with one character unplayable with other so not computer/network related or at least not only computer/network related.

Zaxan,

Just confirmed with ppl without issues and last hop for them is also 206.127.157.102 and timesout after that.

Arena isn’t replying to traceroute beyond that host/gateway so not worth posting til 30 of timeout.

As long as last ip doesn’t reply it always timesout at 30.

Hmm, I don’t remember that being the case when there were problems around launch, but I could be wrong.

I have T-Mobile , and I am from Poland.
I have the same problems, constantly lagging and from time to time Disconnected.
I have never had same problems before the last patch

No tracert data from me, but suffering from the same stuff:
ISP: Dt. Telekom
Location: Germany
Server: Aurora Glade

No problems before last update with disconnects (except Karka event); No consistent lag, but intervals of lag spikes; Happens in open world and personal story instances. Diagnostic tools & other programs running at the same time (e.g. Firefox, Skype etc) show now problem with pings or severely reduced download bandwidth.

Please work on this problem

Most german players can’t play GW2 anymore due to the crazy lag issue.

Same problems here now. I have huge ability lag and frequent disconnects. I bought GW2 mid-january, played without any problems for a month. All problems started for me mid february after one of the builds. Connecting to GW2 is like playing russian roulette for me … some days its lag free, some I almost cannot play. And it seems absolutely unrelated to hour i play on
Server: Aurora Glade
Country: Slovakia
ISP: Slovak Telekom

Getting the same thing and i just bught the game today WTF i didnt even play

Starcraft 2 – able to play multiplayer just fine, no lags, no disconnects.
Borderlands 2 – able to play multiplayer just fine, no lags, no disconnects.
DOTA 2 – able to play multiplayer just fine, no lags, no disconnects.
Guild Wars 2 – lags and disconnects, game is unplayable. Something happened in the February maintenance… 3 weeks of lost laurels and counting…

I have been getting worse and worse lag since Flame and Frost first started. Before this I never really had any issues. Some nights is nearly unplayable. Right now, as I write this, I am playing with a new toon in the Wayfarer Foothills, and the lag is so bad I can pretty much not play. I try and harvest something and it takes nearly a minute to two minutes for the game to respond. I run and my “minion” lags somewhere about 200 yards behind me just sitting there. Then suddenly it shows I am getting hit by…something I cannot see then I die.

I have been playing since BWE 1, and never, ever, ever had this kind of lag. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I’ve made sure all my drivers are up to date, etc, etc. I do tech support for a living so I know how to take care of these things. I also have zero trouble with any other game at this point (nor do my roommates.) Coincidentally, my roommate who also Plays GW2 only has trouble with GW2. We sometimes play together and when we do we have the same lag at the same time. Sometimes, however, he will get kicked out of the game entirely. I however usually do not.

Sanctum of Rall server.

Here is my traceroute. Hopefully it helps ArenaNet figure this out… I’ve filed bug reports in game as well as via the support site.

Same for me as mentioned above by several other players: massive lag, game is close to unplayable. World event is impossible to complete due to the fact that I either lag out or my client crashes. I failed to have the chest spawn for me several times lately due to this. I experinece lots of “culling” effect in open world, too. And I had never had this before; now I just walk around in during an event seemingly alone, then I am suddenly dead, coz I run into a mob that were invisible.

I’de never had problems like this before the February update. My client crashed every now and then on map travels, but only on map travels. Now it just quits as I simply walk around in the open world as well.

Server: Gandarra, location: Hungary, Europe

I didnt have any problems with lags before but now since the last february patch the game is unplayable for me. Im getting lags 1-2 minutes long, then disconnect with error 7. Mornings are fine but in prime time since 18:00 its unplayable. Only thing that works for me is chat.

Server: Ruins of Surnia
Location: Slovakia, Europe
ISP: Tcom

Like quite a few others here I never had this massive lag prior to the 26 February patch.
I am in Switzerland and running Swisscom as the ISP.
I’m not sure why this lag occurs after patch but please fix this!

The prevalence of lag among customers of Deutsche Telekom (including myself) suggests that the problem is a routing/bandwidth issue with the provider, at least in part.

I confirmed this experimentally last Thursday, when I was experiencing horrible lag in dungeons, but the guildies in my party had no lag at all – playing the same dungeon at the same time. Since most of them live in Scandinavia, I fired up my VPN (otherwise used to circumvent geoblocking, etc.) and pointed it to the Stockholm node. Voilà – no more lag. Routing all the GW2 traffic through a region where others were experiencing good performance solved the problem completely.

Any good VPN provider will have nodes in various countries (mine has about 20 for $3.75/month), so this could be a solution for people with chronic lag issues. As most providers have free trial periods, it might be worth investigating.

I never had this problem before, but right now this game is unplayable to me. I have 30 sec lags, no matters if I just use attack, or write to chat. Also I got random disconnects. I can’t do anything in this game anymore. Until solution GW2 is dead to me.

Just to add my feedback to the thread
I don’t experience disconnections but, since the last patch, the lag in high populated events is more frequent and visible.
I never had terrible lag and, anyway, the game IS NOT unplayable for me but still I find more problems than before.

I’m on Aurora Glade (EU) and I connect from Italy

Anet want more money.

Full servers = full lags = more players want to low populated servers = need many gem = more and more money for Anet!

For me unplayble. GW2 = DC + LAGS. For test: same time i run WoW and there have 10-20ms latency – perfect fast reactions.

I host my small guild’s mumble(murmur) server, & I get lag in orr areas. Would the amount of lag in game from too many people/big events, lag my mumble server?

Cause its lagin hard since the big patch of guesting & better loot chests, when it never did before.

I tried changing the port to 80 like it says in that reddit link & I didnt see much difference. However, I did end up making my computer on a “Static IP” & that fixed everything! I still get ability lag on big dragons/world events, but nothing that auto-attack cant get me gold for credit though, so it works!
(Guests to Full servers is really screwing it up for everyone)

I’m kinda noobish too with this kinda thing, so hopefully someone can chime in on this but here goes!
I went into my internet providers gateway (Comcast) that provides cable & wireless internet using the “Wireless Quick Manuel” that came with it. It said to get in the gateway, I had to type into my web browser “Https://” followed by the gateways IP address (all together, no spaces or .com). I was then able to login, find my computer through the “Connected Devices” tab. I selected my computer and it had 2 options, one was “Static IP”, the other was something with a “D”. I hit save, closed it out, restarted my computer and logged back into GW2. (I’m at work so I dont have the manual in front of me)
I hope this helps Aern, or gives you some direction of where to look to take care of ur lag. Good luck!

y Thanks, i will try when I will at home Then will report

Hello Anet, similiar to others, I also experience serious lagging since F&F update.
Everything is OK in cities, but as soon as I start the map, I get 2-10 second latency.
It was almost impossible to even start the map today and the error is popping up.
I didn’t experience these problems before update.
Fix it soon, please!

same problems here , random lag and disconnects … this is kinda unplayable for me now …

isp : Telenet
country : Belgium
server : Sfr

I guess we are not worth even a single post from A-Net. That much for “embracing” the community. Simple: “Yes, we understand the situation and we are looking for solution.” or anything like that would DO. But then, we already payed, so they are not loosing that much, I guess.

OMFG people, there is a problem with the game and not with your Internet! I have problems in most locations, but as Metrica Province is completely no lags place.

26 pages and help anywhere. kitten us in high. Why not test the fixes before they embark to the game?!

Unplayable lag at world bosses. To the point where I am there the whole time supposed hitting the boss but do not received credit. Also random spikes where I’ll simply stop moving or friends will see me running into the distance as if on auto run. Have died many times due to lag spikes like this. Also getting D/ced constantly in all sorts of random places from empty zones, dungeons, and WvWvW every 5-10 minutes since patch.

it’s still unplayable, why no one from anet is answer here and concern about this problem ?

Before the patch everything was OK.

Now: My lvl 2 Mesmer > Starting Locations > No lags
My lvl 80 Necro > Cursed shore (or couple more locations) > lags, disconects, neverending load screens)

Every other online game which i have is OK with no lags and many people have the same problem so dont say that i need to contact my ISP! Fix this…

Same here.

I am playing only WWW at the moment, from France. At times i get lag/freeze of several seconds.

a) Before previous patch i did not have any significant lag

b)My computer used to run GW2 usually very well on highest settings. Now i can get down to lowest settigns and still experience some freeze. And i did not installed anything new, did not change anything.

c) I do not have any performance issue with any other program

c) People that report issues have different telco providers.

In my guild only I experiencing lagfest in gw2 so its not that simple. It’s not the bug in game or patches but imo anet changed the way game servers handling packet loss.

As i said before i’m not an network expert but few ppl posted traceroutes in this thread and if you look at them you can see that some routes are similar. So i’m guessing there is a bottleneck or few in our connection to gw2 that causing packet loss. I can’t blame arenanet and ncsoft and i can’t blame my ISP either because errors are somewhere between.

Question is what we can do about this? Changing ISP will help, proxy servers and VPN maybe but for me it’s too much trouble.

Well any advice would be helpful (other then the obvious: change/contact ISP) … the game ran smooth until now and every other game runs good… mayby it is not arenanet/ncsoft problem and mayby they even cant fix it but at least they could make some statement…

just posting to state I’m in the same boat, since last major patch all the mentioned problems occur, just GW2 everything else still runs fine (other MMO’s, Steam etc). Haven’t changed any HW or SW lately, my PC runs GW2 just fine normally.
