Guild Wars 2

I have 5 characters with 4 of them having no issues when starting to play, but when I choose the one who’s on fields of ruin, it gives me a network error!

(code=5:11:3:159:101)

halp!

Same here… In PvP.

I keep getting the same error code (5:11:3:159:101) whenever I change maps, whether that’s after an SPvP match, or for example moving from Divinity’s Reach to Queensdale. Forces me to restart the client each time.

Try guesting onto a different server, then logging into the character that gets the network error. If successful, move that character to another map, then you can log off and play on your home server.

Should they try to make a report about crashing in a zone on a particular server (their home server obviously) if that fixes the issue for them?

Doubtful, its such a one-off thing that there was likely some net-code written poorly that resulted in the error which made it so the character couldn’t be “read from the server”. I emphasize the danger quotes because I put in more lay-man’s terms than going into ultra detail on things that I’m speculating on since I don’t know how ArenaNet/NCSoft runs the show.

Basically, I’m guessing that since you guest onto another server, you’re getting a non-contaminated “copy of your character” from your home server and to make sure everything can be “read from your home server” you move to a new map to make sure that everything that was “contaminated” is now back to “normal”. Like I said above, huge guesses here.

If it worked, great. If not, time to contact ArenaNet directly via a support ticket. They actually know their system (hopefully) and for sure can help you out better than me since they probably have tools built specifically to help people in situations like these.
