I had the same problem. Changing my DNS (to google’s, 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) did not help. Adding this line:
174.35.56.164 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com
to this file:
SystemDrive\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
did help. So I guess for me it was DNS thing, but like I said, just switching to google’s DNS didn’t help.
Yup adding the line
174.35.56.164 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com
to:
SystemDrive\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Worked like a charm. Thanks so much!
Been playing GW2 for years and never had this problem come up until recently. It’s been giving me this error for at least the past 3 days (hadn’t logged on in a few days previously) and I can’t get it to connect. Firewalls/Antivirus is not the problem here. Going to try One Note’s solution when I get a chance and hopefully that fixes it. Will report back.
