Guild Wars 2

It was mentioned in this post already but after coming across issues when re-installing today i found a fix to help with re installing as well as connection using the google public authentication servers (DNS) found here https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.

First off go to your Network and sharing settings, then click on change adaptor settings, then right click on your network adaptor you use and click properties.

At this stage you will be greeted with a window like this http://prntscr.com/furshj

First we will deal with TCP/IPv4, Highlight it and click properties to see this window http://prntscr.com/fursxf (ignore what is in the DNS for now)

Click on Advanced click on the TAB DNS http://prntscr.com/furth7 (ignore the 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 in mine) if you have any IP’s in here Write them down for back up you may need them and they maybe there for a reason, after that is done click okay and return to the previous window.

In the bottom section select the Use the following DNS server addresses and use these

Preferred DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
Alternative DNS Server: 8.8.4.4

Make sure to tick Validate settings upon exit and click okay.

Now to do the same thing with TCP/IPv6 but use these DNS servers instead
Preferred DNS server:2001:4860:4860::8888
Alternative DNS server:2001:4860:4860::8844

and tick Validate settings upon exit.
Click okay.

At this point it may running Troubleshooting Network connections let this run it is just validating, if no errors occur which it shouldn’t re run your Guild wars 2 and it should work.

This worked for me without adding any -assetsrv or -authserv to my shortcut i’m from Europe too, so i cant say it will work for everyone but maybe a fix for most

I hope this will help most of you currently having issues and this won’t be removed but alas upon attempting to reinstall after a long break today i encounter Connection errors galore with the -assetserv and -authserv shortcut trick not working for me, this is posted someone in other posts too but i thought i would leave this here for those looking for a quick fix.

I can’t guarantee this will work for everyone.

I hope this may help fix the issue people who are already installed are having too or have repaired their client.

For the Short cut fix put this on the end of it http://prntscr.com/fusdq5

Anjo.3170:

For NA, these should work:

-authsrv 64.25.38.172 -assetsrv 64.25.41.2
-authsrv 54.89.152.137 -assetsrv 64.25.41.2

EU requires different IPs for -authsrv:

206.127.146.73
206.127.146.74
206.127.159.109
206.127.159.107
206.127.146.67

My target looks like:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.exe” -authsrv 64.25.38.172 -assetsrv 64.25.41.2

I am in New York state and after not being able to get in since 6am, I tried this and I now am in game.

*Taken from: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/6mrwzh/connnections_errors_detected_problem/

I would like to put emphasis on the save / write down any IP you may have in the DNS windows you have already as back up you will most likely need to revert back to these after the issue is fixed

EDIT: Also if you attempted this and it worked or didn’t let us all know.

EDIT2: I thought i would add this if you right click your properties and put this at the end -authsrv 206.127.146.73 -assetsrv 64.25.41.2 ( 64.25.41.3 and 64.25.41.4) on this last bit may work as well instead of 64.25.41.2 http://prntscr.com/fusdq5
