Since the last update on the 13th August. Gw2’s own servers (or data center routing) have been in catastrophic meltdown with major disconnects for many players and heavy stuttering and pausing whilst in-game. I have tried several methods such as changing my dns, resetting my router etc, but to no avail.

I have tested my own internet several times over and it has not had any issues at all. Unfortunately this seems to be on Anet’s end and it’s been getting pretty bad today especially. Sat in MOunt Maelstrom waiting for the Golem. Constant disconnects and pausing.

Is Anet currently aware of this issue? I’ve checked the dev tracker and twitter but so far not one word has been mentioned of this, and it’s too widespread to suddenly be everyone’s own internet acting up.

P.S: Just to add, I’m in the European region and Desolation is my main server. This issue -seems- to be related to the EU side only, at least from people I’ve asked.

ISP: British Telecom
Country: England, UK
City: Southampton

It looks like there is something going on in Europe right now but it may not be as wide spread is you think. When posting internet issue it’s always best to post your ISP and region like city and country, so if it’s a regional thing that let’s Anet and others know. This is only the second thread on this and the post count is very low so it looks to me to be a regional internet problem, if it were a server side issue the post count would be higher.

No, I play on Tarnished Coast and Dry Top this morning was bad also, but it didn’t go as far as DC’s though, yesterday was also bad, a guild mates instance of The Golem event in MM DC’d the entire server, when they all logged back in the Golem had reset.

It just seems to be certain maps that are being affected by this random Lag.

I would say it’s more of a minority posting about it, but the issue is a bit larger in-game when you see say/map chat whenever the stuttering and pausing occurs.

But I agree that it seems to be a regional issue, not everyone is affected by it, but it is larger than just a tiny subset of players. At least from what I have witnessed.

The issue sadly also applies to every aspect of the game, and I mean EVERY aspect, but the severity varies between maps of course. So it could be a traffic routing issue or the closest data center is having trouble routing to certain ISPs.

I’ve tried the usual few solutions, like changing to Google’s DNS and restarting the router, but to no avail.

You only need to do a bit more browsing on the forums to notice they are aware of it, and have asked people to post there crash logs.

I was reading through many of the posts about what people where saying and a lot of them said that a specific class was doing it more often than others.

I created a new character a Norn /Necromancer and I have not crashed yet although Im sure i did get the game freeze on me but no crash.
My other character is a Charr / Warrior who crashes at least one time every 15 mins.
It also seems to crash more during events / boss.

That thread below this one is unrelated to the server jitter itself, and more of a client crash to do with character animations, usually verifying the game helps to fix that.

I’m talking more about the server judder and imploding right now.
