Here’s a strange issue that I’ve been getting recently.
Randomly while playing GW2 (and ONLY when playing GW2… I’ve been using the same internet setup for over two years and haven’t had an issue like this before!), I’ll suddenly stop send/receiving data… You know, characters start running in straight lines and skills don’t activate, those sorts of things. Tabbing out of the game reveals that I am suddenly unable to load Google, and if I leave it like that I eventually get a yellow warning sign over my internet connection icon in my tray.
Physically disconnecting and reconnecting my ethernet cable seems to fix the problem however.
My router’s model number is an Aterm BL190HW. This doesn’t happen enough to make the game unenjoyable, maybe if I spent a large part of my day playing it might happen once or twice. Just starting a thread in case it might be helpful to Anet or anybody else with a more serious case of my problem.
