Guild Wars 2

I have a very peculiar problem that all started on Monday, when a Windows update occurred.

Any time I try to play Guild Wars 2, it downloads any update fine, loads my characters fine, loads the world fine, and as soon as I am able to do something, I lose my connection to the internet entirely. As soon as I close Guild Wars 2, my internet roars to life again, almost instantaneously.

Can anyone tell me what’s going on?

This is exactly the same problem I have been having for a long time on my other internet connection. I randomly loose connection to all internet (not any other websites, goggle, ect.), but when I close Guild Wars 2, almost immediately I my internet comes back. On my home internet (Wired) this never happens to me.

The connection is lost on a wireless connection right?

Right, its a wireless that I have the problems with. However this problem ONLY happens when playing guild wars 2, and usually when doing large events like Tequatl, world bosses, and WvW.

Problem resolved: the adapter drivers became corrupted somehow. Simply uninstalling it, restarting the computer, and installing it again fixed it like new (just for those who have the same problem).

I logged onto Sorrow’s Furnace—US on October 10, 2013, at 10:00 PM Mountain Time and I kept getting frequent disconnects. This is the first time I have ever had this issue. Prior to logging on, I had downloaded my Windows Updates for Windows 7. The error stated that the game client had lost connection to the server.

Thinking that it might be my internet connection, I did a speed test as well as surfed the internet (including the GW2 Forums). I was able to connect to all the websites without issue and the speed test came back normal (I ran it 3 times to get an average). In addition, my brother (who uses the same internet connection I do) was able to connect via wireless connection and had absolutely no issues. I even logged onto another online game just to see if it was online games that my internet was having difficulty with, but I maintained a stable connection on that game. I’m at a lost as to what is going on.

Yea, I don’t know. Perhaps the update made certain drivers faulty. Who knows. If you are able to do what I mentioned above, then it should be fine. If you are using an ethernet cable though, that’s a bit different.
