Guild Wars 2

For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing random lag (skill lag where everyone else moves around normally) that at times DCs me. My partner plays on a computer right next to me, which is connected to the same router I use and we both connect using a cable (not wireless).

I have tried the following things to try to fix or find the cause of the issue:

- I have used the cmd.exe to ping my router and get almost 0 packet loss. I ran this while I encountered skill lag and still saw 0 packet loss.
– I have run a speed test at testmy.net and it returned normal results.
– I have replaced the cable from the router to my modem.
– I have swapped out my video card.
– I have ran an anti-virus check (all clear).
– I have checked for outdated drivers. One video driver was outdated, but the issue has persisted since updating it.

Any insight or assistance is greatly appreciated!

Still experiencing the same issue. Any input is appreciated.

check out the thread i made on it

I’m not going to download a third party program for this. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Update: I ran the traceroute outlined on this page and all the lost s were 0-4, which confirms that this isn’t a connection issue.

I’m experimenting with closing some programs through MSCONFIG, but since the rubber-banding lag is sporadic, it may be a while before I know if this has resolved anything.

This did not resolve my issue. I am still getting the same rubber-banding.

Seems like dozens if not hundreds of people are experiencing the same thing. I am among them. Any efforts I’ve made to solve the issue have been for naught.

I just did a traceroute to my server on the east coast and it returned back OK. I do not have a bad connection. Speed test checks out and having zero problems elsewhere with any services. The issue has to be with the game. I just started experiencing it this week/weekend. I can play in short bursts before I get hit with a game stopping lag. For lack of a better term, annoying.

Well, I played around with MSConfig a bit more and so far I haven’t experienced the lag again. What I did was:

1) Open MSConfig.exe
2) Choose Selective Startup
3) Check “Load System Services” only
4) Reboot the computer

Crossing my fingers that this stays working. If you try this out, please post here if it works for you.

Seems to have worked for me, thanks!
