Just had the same problem.
New computer, ran windows 8. I installed GW2, let it do all its downloads. Before I actually played the game, I updated to Windows 10 and got this error. Apparently the GeForce Experience program that was installed wasn’t compatible with windows 10, so it couldn’t update my drivers. I uninstalled it, downloaded the latest version from the nvidia website, made it update my drivers. There we go, GW2 working again!
So, cut short: updating my drivers did the trick for me!
I got mine from the SW labyrinth event chest. Been farming for the key for 3 days so I guess around 16 to 18 hrs actually in-game? I was very very happy when I got it and literally jumped from my chair. =)
Connecting issues… Hereby my testfile:
Hey, I’m having the exact same problem. I’ve been able to play fine all day, but started disconnecting about 3 hrs ago… When I get in it’s just for a couple of minutes for the usual disconnecting issues (skill lagging and people running into walls), other times I just get stuck on loading screen… Hoping for a quick fix!
Got the same issue on Seafarer’s Rest server. The bug’s been there for at least a week as far as I know…
I have this problem too. I’ve done everything there is to do, but haven’t gotten my gifts yet, or any indication that I completed everything…. It says 100% map completion, I have the ‘Been there, done that’ title and all the needed explorer achievements, but no gifts as of yet…
Any ideas?
Never mind, I just got it. I don’t know why, because I’ve been there 3 times before, but I just went back to the Chantry of Secrets and that solved it. Really weird… But I’m not complaining anymore! =)
