Guild Wars 2

Periodically, I get massive lag that ends up with me running around with the game world frozen and abilities unresponsive. During this time, I can be seen moving around in the world normally, meaning server receives my data but I don’t receive server data. Interestingly, while this happens I cannot log in on or acces Guild Wars 2 website either, save for browsing forums. I have no idea why or how this is happening. It’ll usually last 20-30 mins and happens couple of times a day.

I seem to be experiencing the exact same thing. Happened twice in the last hour, but never had it before. Worked fine last I played.

Edit: seems to be connected with https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Connection-error-7-11-3-191-101-merged, as that’s what I get when I get kicked off.

This is what happened to me earlier, and all last evening.

I’ll quote myself, a post I made in that error 7-11-3-191-101 thread:

Manasa Devi.7958:

I just had another typical 7:11:3:191:101 error.

Guild functionality working? Check!
Can I still join parties? Check!
Can I still use the tradepost? Check!
Can I still receive and participate in all chat channels? Check!
Is my location in the guild roster shown as “Unknown”? Check!
Does the actual game no longer respond? Check!
Will I spend a good few minutes under these circumstances before the game kicks me? Check!

Is this in any way similar to what you’re experiencing?

Sounds like the exact same thing.

If you can still move in the world but skills are frozen and other people standing still or running mindless in one direction until they hit a wall, then the connection with the instance is stalled or about to break. Chat, guild and tradepost use additional connections to different servers which may not be affected by this.

In this state, the connection to the instance is completely broken, not only one-way. You can still move around in the world although being disconnected, because this part of the game is running locally on your client. You are moving your character in the world locally on the client, and the client only tells the server its position and movement from time to time.

Because of that, you see other people running mindlessly in a straight line until they hit a wall, because the last thing your client received from them was that they were running in that direction. And the client shows this until it gets an updated position – which will never come, because in fact the connection is already severed.

Bullkitten. I can log in with these things still broken, and my friend can see my character on teh server side respond to my movement commands in real-time without a hitch. Hence “I can be seen moving normally”. The connection works the other way and is broken the other.

same thing here
