The game was running fine. Then I had to download the new build which went a bit slower than normal (but did succeed) and now everytime as I try to start the game it says I have a connection error. As a result I cannot enter the game. The site takes about 20 seconds per page to load while everything else is working fine on my pc.
Perhaps the servers are a bit busy? Are you guys having the same issues?
I was just trying to get back in to the game after 2 years away, download downloader-downloader or whatever you wanna call it, and boom downloader downloader cant download.
Connection error(s) detected retrying…. added exception to hosts file, changed DNS to google, sacrificed an xbox controller to the PC masterrace and nothing helps.
UPDATE: My issue was simply fixed by formating the whole SSD and installing windows 10, but might not be the first thing to try….
Although I haven’t logged in before the new build arrived, It seems to me that I have a similar issue. I cannot download the new build and because of that, I’d reach the character select screen and after that the loading screen and that’s as far as I could go since the client would reset.

Don’t waste anymore time trying to troubleshoot it——It’s Anet not you.
I’ve been trying to connect all after noon. Suddenly a few minutes ago it connected. Weirdly it’s running at 14 kb/sec to 306 kb/sec.. I have a stupidly fast connection so I’m guessing Anet’s getting DDos’d again or something else has choked up the line.
I have the same problem too. Looks like I’m going to have to miss my EU guild’s RP event. I tried logging in several times between 10:30 am to 11:15 am Pacific Time.
I can’t log in to my NA account or my EU account right now.
I’m having the same problem. I used the link posted by Robbie and changed the ip in the launcher by following the instructions. The patch is now downloading at approx. 45kb/s lol But, I was able to get in game without the patch having to finish. Once in game, it seems to be running fine.
What did the trick for me was keeping the game client (still showing the connection error message) running in the background. The patch download started within 5-10 minutes.
I hope that helps.
edit: I advise doing the IP-thing mentioned in somebody else’s post earlier, as it happens to speed up things significantly.
Not sure if this is related to the current problem. I thought I should mention this:
There has been dcd problems on EU megaserver since Saturday. My guildies and I were randomly dcd during our RP events. The dcd became more frequent during yesterday morning’s meetup (Well, morning in the Pacific timezone. Evening in the UK timezone). Everyone in my guild experienced the same problem. At one point, we all dcd at the same time!
My EU account is kta.7630 (Piken Square homeworld).
Why won’t ANET communicate connectivity errors they are obviously aware of?
A short message, but clear, on the updater would solve so much dismay.
Another example would be to just simply explain how they allocate bandwidth. I’m currently downloading the patch at a small fraction above dial up speeds.
