Guild Wars 2

My girlfriend recently bought guild wars 2 when heart of thorns was announced and bought of the guild wars 2 website and she was able to log in once but now it keeps saying error code 42:0:9001:4418 when she try’s to log in and this is coursing her much frustrating as she real enjoyed the game for the short period of time she was logged in if anyone knows how to fix this error it would be much appreciated

thank you

I am also getting this error for the past two weeks which has caused me to be unable to login. If I am able to login, the following are not working at all: party chat, entire guild interface, friends list, LFG etc.

I have already sent a support ticket but so far I’ve been given generic “solutions” which, when executed, are worthless and cause me frustration.

Any news from Anet on how this can be fixed?

Same error here, but now it loads the character select screen bot doesn’t load the game itself after character selection… quite frustrating

I have the same problem, can’t even log in to the game, the error appears in the launcher. Any solution?

Yeup I am having the same exact problem, this is really getting on my nerves

Hi, I just bought the game a few hours ago and have been trying for about 15 hours to get onto the server that my friends are playing on. Now I cant even log in because when my computer restarted i keep getting this error code 42:0:9001:4418. I have spent hours and hours trying every single 42 error code solution and none have worked. This is the only forum that i have seen that mentions this exact error code, does anyone have a solution?

same problem! im almost at my wit’s end! tried dnsflush,reinstalled launcher and much much more….

I’ve tried reinstalling like 5 times down since I’ve gotten up this morning and it only seems to have made it worse. The launcher now gives me spinny wheel of death constantly and i cant re-download the game because the download speed jumps up to 2mb/s and then descends to 0kb/s. If i get past the launcher crashes and try to log in it is still giving me the same error 42:0:9001:4418. I did put a ticket in but it said they have alot of tickets coming and it would take a while

11 days and this is still a recurring problem. Is this an unfixable problem? Anet should have the decency to tell us.

Anyone still getting the error code? Getting pretty frustrating…

After a month of conversing with support, I’m pretty sure they are unable to ascertain much less fix the problem. Has anyone been getting this error and found a fix?

“The error that you reported was 42:0:9001:4418. Normally, this indicates some kind of adware/spyware or other program conflict. These programs often try to intercept or modify network traffic causing problems with your connection to our game servers. That said, we already did a Clean Boot which should catch those types of programs.”

Same problem here.

Version: 51547
Fehlercode: 42:0:9001:4418

Tried deactivating Firewalls/Security-Programs..
Still no solution.
Just a few hours ago I was playing and now I can’t log into the game anymore.
Really annoying.

Same problem here;
I’d be glad if the support would tackle that problem.

Having the same problem , already try everything that came to my mind , I have 2 PC whit GW2 en the house, in my main gaming PC stop working 2 days ago , and in my Mac still working…

Error Code: 42:0:9001:4418

“The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. This is most commonly caused by a firewall or router settings, security applications, or connecting through a campus network. For additional support, please visit http://support.guildwars2.com.”

I’m getting this as well. It just happened out of nowhere. I haven’t changed or updated anything on my PC. I disabled all firewalls, reset my router 5 times, restarted my PC 5 times. Nothing is fixing the issue.

I’m on NA server.

still getting the same error from 2 weeks and only on Gw2 <

hope someone could help me ~ it’s realy annoying ~

Same here, can play for about 3 minutes before this error pops up. It’s been going on for 2 days now.

Same for me it started 2 days ago -.-

Bump. I am seeing this also.

I need some help every time I try to log in to Guild Wars 2 I get error 42 which says that either there is a firewall or router setting problem and I cannot connect to the server. This has been going on for about a week and I cant seem to solve it. I have referred to the support page but it is no help. If anyone has solved it please explain the process you used.

I have the same problem from two days a go.

I had the same problem it turns out that in my case another game was conflicting with the Gw2 game client . I was lucky as i went through each game deleting them alphabetically , Delta force extreme 2 was my problem deleted it and have had no further issues , hope this helps

Thanks stanfordgaz! Worked for me aswell i had to deinstall neverwinter and gw2 worked again.

Not sure if troll, or coincidence. But uninstalled Rift and worked.. kitten

Well, I just purchased Heart of Thorns, and the same thing happened to me. I’ve removed nearly every ther game, and nothin’.

I’m close to asking for a refund.

having the same problem for around 5 days now wtfff

Just checking in. Also having this issue, out of the blue. Everything was working fine last night, I had no issues, and I haven’t changed any firewall or router settings. Not sure what’s going on but for some reason, I can’t login. ANET please look into this.

Hey guys I found an old dev response that may help:

If you’re using a router, hub, or switch, please disconnect it and connect directly to your modem before running this utility. You may have to reboot your modem and/or computer to reestablish your Internet connection. If this isn’t possible due to your network setup, please run Game Advisor with the router connected as the information will still be useful.

To run Game Advisor, please perform the following steps:

Download Game Advisor here: http://us.ncsoft.com/gameadvisor
When prompted, save the file to your Windows “Desktop” so you can access it easily. Please save the file before running it (running it from the website can cause file issues).
Double-click on the Game Advisor file and then click on the icon for the game you are having trouble with.
Click “Test Computer and Connection” and wait a few minutes while the test completes.
Once the test completes, a “Test Result” window will come up showing the location of the test result file. Please attach this file to a reply to this e-mail.
Once we receive the test results, we’ll have a better idea of how to resolve your issue.
