Guild Wars 2

I just downloaded the Mac beta and it all downloaded fine, I logged in but when I got to loading in my characters it just got stuck and then said connection time out after a while. Is there any solution to this? Could this have something to do with running on a university network? (Although the connection allowed me to log in, in the first place

any help would be great

I know this problem from the unreliable, because overcrowded, WLAN at my university. Connecting via network cable should work without problems, higher bandwidth and lower latency.

I just tested my connection and it’s over 20MB’s. So it can’t be my connection. I should also add that when I try load in I can hear the audio of the game but the visuals stay on the loading screen until I eventually get the message saying unable to connect ect.

Very strange behaviour. I suggest verifying and repairing your Gw2.dat by passing “-repair” to the client as described here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/mac/Guide-How-to-pass-command-line-arguments-to-the-mac-client

Nothing has worked as of yet. Any more suggestions?
