Guild Wars 2

Hello. I never had this problem b4 and its really irritating how random crap like this happens but the topic title is exactly what i get. I get home from work and go to start the game and it says that at bottom where it usually says downloading and then u can click play. So what magically happened over night while my computer was off that hasn’t happened since I had the game, to where this is happening now? thanks ;D!

same problem here with me and the wife. Tried to log in this evening after work 4pm central time sw AR. and get the same message. connection errors(s) detected. Retrying…

thats all it will do. GW1 still plays but not GW2 so whats goin on here ;(

I been going back and forth with a support guy from a ticket so far we tried about 12 different things but no success. This isn’t isolated for me though, idk what happened over night but my league of legends says it can’t find internet either. World of tanks, starcraft 2, and firefall all work just fine still and I can browse internet and such… confused >.<

anyway support guy quit resonding i assume they have hours maybe.. guess ill see what he has for me tomorrow.

after lots of messing around i finally got it fixed. it appears to be several factors combined. what i did to finally fix it was this. first turn firewall off. then do a cmd: ipconfig /flushdns , then go into your router configuration and reboot it.
after doing all these steps it fixed my problem, hope it helps you as well.
p.s. it seems this came about for me after installing the new nvidia driver today 331.82. but even after rolling back the driver and a system restore it still would not work. until i did the steps outlined above.

if you need me to still submit a report i can

where do i find my router options for reboot? i know how to do other things but is that same as just unplugging router and letting it sit for a few minutes while i restart comp then plug back in?

for most people and most routers: open internet type in 192.168.254.254 into the address bar. that brings you to your router main page. from there you should see options on dif aspects of your router. near the bottom (on most) you will see reboot or maybe just a diagnostics page. either way just go through all the options till you find it then press reboot. it will take 2-5 mins to finish. then hopefully when its done you will be good to go. ( you can also do a factory reset from here. if you do just make sure you know your username and password or contact your isp) good luck and hope this helps you.

p.s. you can do a hard boot(unplug n sit for 2 mins) but its not guaranteed to refresh your dns cache. if you want to go that route, then its best to also hold the reset button down for 60s before you unplug it. just remember when you do you will have to log into your router and reinsert your username and password before you have internet access again.
