Guild Wars 2

WvW is unplayable. 10-30secs delay during massive fights.
Server Arborstone , I play from Reunion Island and never experienced any kind of lag prior to the last patch.

Hi.
Massive, 2-3 minutes lags in Brisbane today.
I checked my net but it works fine. It seems to be a problem with game.

I’m having a huge lag today.Starting from login on launcher to every aspect in game.I checked my net.It’s working fine on anything but GW2. I can’t play atm…

Okay, now another report, I can’t do Claw of Jormag too because of the delay.

Seriously, please fix this problem ASAP.. :<

So the lag was fixed for me and the game was again playable … untill today when I updated the game client with the newest Halloween patch. Right now I cannot even log it, and even if I do log in somehow, I get disconnected within few seconds.

Thanks for the patch!

Nothing changed.. The delay is still there.. Can I get help here?

bump because experiencing massive lag in wvw ….
server: arborstone

Since Logging off Early Nov.1st (am), I have been experiencing terrible spurts of lag, lasting 3-5 seconds at a time, making questing, very difficult, story questing impossible, Dungeons, near impossible (don’t stand in the fire, what fire?) (mashing <ability>, never happens /die) sort of thing.

I feel like I’m running a 56k dial-up, I have Xfinity (Cable), from Comcast, never had any problems before, and this is the only game I’m having issues in : \ (Steam, EON:Alpha, SC2, all good)

Its making me not want to play : \

Experiencing lag on Desolation server…

I struggle with bad lag if I play during the evening. I experience no issues during earlier times of the day.

I startet to have 1 – 3 sek lag after loging in 30 mins ago. I did not have any lag during my playing 3 hours ago.
I play on SoR connecting from EU.
Changing the map from high pop to low pop doesnt help.
I also have no connection problems in any other games.

Server: Arborstone EU
10 sec lag in wvsw and also pve map.
If i add the problem of queue, this make WvsW impossible.
No problems on others games.

I have been playing since pre-order start.. And these last few weeks I am getting really annoying lag. Jittering back and forth.. delayed actions….
pls fix

Server: Seafarer’s rest (EU)

Server is just @Medium population… and my pc and internet are fine..

Already post on FR Forum, have lag issues since today’s patch. my network stat strangely look like yours…

Could someone without lag also take a screenshot? For a comparison.

I got my copy of the game yesterday and so far I have had terrible lag, I have been jumping between low populated servers to see if any of the others are playable but nothing. Usually I get the error code which then makes me loose connection to the server then when I have logged back in I will find myself back at the very starting point.

It seems to be alright with talking to NPCs every now and then but whenever I try to go into combat nothing happens for a good minute or so then the mob disappears.

I hope this isn’t just me; my net is fine with every other mmo on high populated servers.

Playing on the Sanctum of Rall server connecting from SEA

Ever since post-Halloween, I’ve been getting really bad lag spikes only in highly populated maps, like Cursed Shore. But connecting to example, WvW, the lag is non existent.

Its very random and happens any time of the day. Had no such issues since the end of the Halloween event.

no lag in pve or spvp or tpvp. Massive lag in WvW. Rubberbanding, huge skill delay. Rendering WvW effectively unplayable.

I’m from SEA as well. Having lag since 2 days ago after the patch.
Today receive an update but it doesn’t help.

I’m playing on Desolation.
Having the same issue.
Well, haven’t tried WvW much lately.
I don’t remember any more lag than usual there though.

Could be a conflict with Avast I suppose, but I’ve scanned for viruses, killed bg processes etc to no avail.

Having a problem with lag , other playable toons are jumping all around the place , my shots have a lag to them after I hit the key , all the npcs are fine tho , and my frame rate is 50-60 per sec . I just purchased the game yesterday and was hoping that this problem waant only me

Been digging arround some more… maybe it’s my ISP?
Take a look at screenshot below. On the left is a tracert from dnsstuff.com, on the right a tracert from the command prompt. Is that even normal??

Big lag started today.

EDIT: while jumping through different borderlands I suddenly get 50ms latency. There is no queue wait for any of them and no out-manned buff. I guess it is about luck.

Throwing my voice into the mix, I’ve been getting severe rubberbanding and skill activation delay in medium to large WvW battles. Not sure exactly when it started.

Playing on Isle of Janthir server from northern Virginia. I’m on 50/25 FiOS so I suspect that the latency issues are on the ANet side.

Recently the latency was so bad that, while assaulting a tower in EB, on my screen we were still attacking the gate at around 10%, meanwhile for others the tower had already been captured (gate broken down, lord slain, and flipped to our color).

I’m getting some pretty nasty latency aswell. The lag waves started appearing today at noon, making the game very hard to play.

Playing from Israel on Gunnar’s Hold.

im getting alot of lagspikes of around 5 seconds and often disconnected during story missions, i cant even do story line missions like this

piken square player

I’m getting a lot of random lag spikes for about 3~5 seconds and due to that it’s almost impossible to play like that. It started 7~10 days ago and I’m getting pretty disapointed with that “bug”. I tried some of my older mmorpgs and they are just running fine. Also I did a couple downloads and no problem at all. Streaming is okay as well. Yesterday I contacted my internet provider(or wtver It’s spelled) and its all fine too.
I’m waiting for an oficial answer. Thanks in advantage.

has there been any comments on this? All my other games play fine. My connection is great, getting 4-5 second delays in game for abilities. But a solid 60 fps.

Do we get responses in this forum? I’ve yet to see one. Everything on my pc is up to date. The game ran great until the last mini patch a few days ago. Now unplayable due to high latency. My connection speed is great, all other games play good.

What checks can I do to see whats going on?

Im getting horrendous delays playing my Thief currently. The delays in button press to action is putting me off and fo some weird reason making me a bit quezy so ive called it a day until either your end sorts out the issue or Virgin media my ISP stops being a PIA. It can be either that is responsible for latency and either never take the blame so ill stick to SP made games today me thinks.

I’m also getting pretty horrible network lag in the last few days. My internet connection is fine and all my other online games work, but Guild Wars 2 is completely unplayable for me right now, unfortunately. As soon as I log in I get major latency issues usually followed by a disconnect within a few minutes.

Is it just me or are any of you guys getting skill delay? people look like they are rubberbanding while running idk where all this lag is coming from I tried everything from reinstalling to reconfiguring my router for better results but nada. Before the patch I never had these problems and when I did get something like it a reset on my router would fix it but that doesnt seem to be the case anymore.

This is leading me to believe its from there side not mine.

I hope devs are still reading this thread :

Recently I’ve been having horrible network lags during the third round of tournaments (rounds 1 and 2 are totally okay). At first I thought that was my ISP, but after several checks I’ve seen no evidence of any change in my bandwidth, nor any packet loss. So, I have no idea why this is happening, and I hope it can somehow be fixed on Anet’s end (the server for the third map might require some tweaking ? :p ).

And yeah I’m 1000% positive it’s network lag : I’m rubber banding, skills don’t fire properly, enemies nuke me out of nowhere, etc.

I’m kind of tired of wasting everyone’s time by kittening my team with this issue. And SPvP is the main thing I like about GW2 :p

I come back tonight after stopping my playtime after the message i left yesterday. The rubber banding/skill delay or warping characters is still there.

Network lag and disconnects have been horrible all day, keep getting (code=7:11:3:189:101) and dropped back to the character select screen. Did a netstat -n to find the ip of the AN servers I was connecting to and got:
64.25.40.47, 64.25.38.72, 64.25.38.103. I then did a tracert on 64.25.38.103 and got the following:

Even their forums are laggy as I’m posting this.

Hope things get fixed soon, certainly before the Lost Shores event!

I hadn’t had any trouble with lag until today… seems to happen most noticeably in WvW for me. I’m on the Maguuma server. While I’ve had the occasional lag spikes I’ve never had to wait a full few seconds for skills to activate before. I’ve done everything I could think of on my end to fix the problem, but it seems to be something on GW2’s end. I’ve called my ISP, and everything looks fine here. It just seems to be a connectivity issue with GW2. It only started today so I’m hoping it will improve soon… otherwise it makes playing wvw near impossible for me. I can’t do anything useful if my skills and interact prompts don’t work until so many seconds later… by then I’m dead and of no use to anyone. :/ I haven’t seen anyone else mention having lag issues on my server so I’m not entirely sure if it’s me or the server.

Even the forums lag a lot for me, more than other websites I’ve tried accessing (none of which have loading delays like this).

That’s pretty much what happened to me. Battleping helped me with this. It’s a paid service but it usually helps those that are far from the datacenter.

Here’s a screenshot… Sometimes I’ve seen the latency jump as high as 300+ (sometimes 900-1000…) on the 64.25.38.163 address… sometimes it falls lower but it’s sporadic at best… and I have the worst response times in-game when using skills during any sort of fight, doesn’t matter how large or small it is. I’ll lay down a temporal curtain on my mesmer for example (while out of combat), have it targeted in front of me while running, only for it to lag so much that I run passed it by the time it shows up it’s behind me and I have to double back to use it… it’s really bad. And that’s not the only thing. :/ If there’s anything more I can try on my end to improve my connectivity issues I’m open to suggestions… I don’t know a lot about how it works exactly but if anyone has suggestions that’d be great.

I’m in Colorado, ISP Comcast. 35.85Mbps Download speed, 5.63Mbps Upload speed. I don’t have many other online games on PC at the moment to test, but so far the only thing I’ve had problems with is GW2.

Lag for me started after GoM, AR, and BP vied for control over SM. Others reported issues, so I just chalked it up to server-side lag from the massive battle going on.

But I’ve had some lag issues after leaving that and leveling….
…I really hope GW2 doesn’t go the route of GW1 and have craptastic pings (GW1 rarely goes ‘green’).

Lag problem started for me a few days ago. I’ve never experienced any real issues with lag at all from launch up until recently. It’s got so bad that I can’t face logging in. There is obviously something they have done to affect this as I was playing an awful lot with no issues right up to and through the superb Halloween event.

I’m wondering if it could be something they patched in preparation for the next event? Whatever it is, it needs fixing, I can’t play with 2-3 or more of delay all the time, it’s not fun.

I’m playing from the UK on Desolation server.

Copy pasting my Solution I posted in thread but it seems it vanished.

Hi everyone. My friend, bought Gw2 today. We installed the game. But the moment he logged in he lagged very badly, with only 2 fps. His computer has same fast cpu as me (3570K) and faster gpu (7850). I have no single issues, so it was clear something wasn’t right. We tried everything, and nothing worked, until trying the following:

*Go to taskmanager.

Select gw2.exe, right mouse, priority, select high from the list.*

I though about this because, i know 3570K is very fast, and if used at 100%, it should absolutely give gw2 no performance issues. The weird thing was it kept hanging at 20-60% tops. My gw2 experience is it more like 30-100%. So giving gw2 all resources it needs might fix it. And guess what! frames went up from 1-2 fps (really on lowest settings), to 135 fps (lowest settings). All lag gone.

Not sure if this is a fix for everyone, but since lot of people have this problem since last week/patches, I thought I might as well post if for everyone. I know how irritating it is, not finding a solution to this kind of problems.

Good luck fixing your problems, dear players.

Hope this helps

I experienced lots of skill delays for the last 2-3 days, the game is really unplayable in 70-80 locations, because of these delays I can be easily killed. The computer, internet(25/1,5 spped) and the FPS is allight, the problem is with the network connection. Delay is often 1-2 sec, the damage numbers apper lately etc, teleportation and leap skills are delayed for 3-5 sec sometimes. I have been playing since 28 August and had not experienced such problems before. Server: Piken Square, Country: Singapore.

Adding my post not that it will make any difference.

Same as others, playing since betas and had issues during release etc but since then its been pretty smooth. For the past week or so game is running fine but then you have lag spikes. Can be fighting a boss when you need to dodge, you come out of the spike having missed the dodge and half health.

I know its not my end as pings to Google etc show fine whilst I am experiencing the issues in game.

Me as many other Italian players with Fastweb as internet provider are experiencing lag in game, making it impossible to play, sometimes not even being able to login at all. This is going on since yesterday. I’m playing on Whitesideridge btw.

Fastweb provider here.
Not playable at all….cya when fixed.

Me as many other Italian players with Fastweb as internet provider are experiencing lag in game, making it impossible to play, sometimes not even being able to login at all. This is going on since yesterday. I’m playing on Whitesideridge btw.

Same here.
But i have noticed that during afternoon latency is too high to play, but after 11 pm gmt+1 i can play without lag problems.

Reposting from my other thread as it seems to be the right place to do it:

Fastweb ISP as many other..

So, this is happening since 2 days ago. Keep in mind at all time that all this mess has begun with no reason: not after a patch, not after an hardware change, not after a program change, also that i don’t have any firewall active and my connection works just fine btw.. i did several test with other games, my ping is low(around 30-40 everywhere) and i got absolutely no packet loss(tried a ping -n 1000 on google and didn’t had one).

I don’t have p2p programs up and i have friends with my same isp with the same problem(but also for them this started 2 days ago with no reason).

Now, on to the problem: basically it changes everyday as far as i know… yesterday for example the ingame chat was working with no delay but my character was stucked for 30 seconds like when you lag(only i wasn’t lagging i tried testing the connection during the lag). Everytime i tried to relog after a router reboot i got the same result: insane lag and if i tried to enter an istance or to change zone i got disconnected with an error reporting that the login server was unavailable(??? after i logged in?)

Today i got the opposite: my ingame chat just have a 60 sec delay(and also party commands like join or leave). but the game runs fine like i live below the server of arenanet. Also this time if i try to join a party or enter an istance i get disconnected.
Again: this begun with no apparent reason.. 3 days ago everything went smoothly now it simply doesn’t anymore and it seems to affect people with my same isp(afaik).
Also it’s completely random… i managed to play 1 hour and half today and got the same issue for 40 mins now again…My friend got the same.
As of now, this is completely unplayable.
What should i do?

Edit: today i found out that the problem is completely related to the chat.. if i try to whisper or to talk in a chat that is not “Say” i got the login error message.. but i can just click ok and keep playing.. so apparently the game doesn’t like me to talk to others and join groups for some insane reason..

But that is for today only, yesterday i couldn’t play and i was only able to chat…

Edit2: aaand i can’t play again… no matter the fact that i use ingame chat or not.. i just cannot move.
Somehow i’ve got the feeling that i’m getting trolled by someone lol

Italian player, Fastweb as ISP. Gw2 has been lagging and rubberbanding and disconnecting since yesterday can’t even log in sometimes. I checked everything and my network is working perfectly. The only thing i can’t do is play GW2. I play on Piken Square.
Please FIX this asap.

Same problem, Italian player using fastweb. i play om Seafar Rest
