Guild Wars 2

My wife and I have experienced this issue in an interesting way, so I figured I might post here to add to the knowledge base about it. First, our situations for running the game are virtually identical:

We have physically identical machines and hardware (and mostly software, too)
We sit in the same room, connected wirelessly to the same router
We (obviously) connect through the same IP
We play together, logged into the same zones at the same time, and our characters are nearby each other

<snip>

Wondering if it was some kind of bandwidth cap issue somewhere, I tried logging out so that only she was connected to the game. It made no difference. My suspicion is that somehow her account is being served at a consistently lower priority than mine, since this problem never occurs in reverse – I’m never the one lagged while she’s doing fine. The next time this happens, I’m going to have us switch seats and each log in from the other’s machine to see if the problem tracks the machine or the account.

WOW!!! We have had exactly the SAME issue and the same sort of effects that you enumerated. I’ve been going nuts trying to figure out why my wife’s computer has been having this issue and mine has not. (My wife said that GW2 must be discriminating against women, after I read your post to her… haha.)

If this has been a choice on Anet’s part to do this on purpose then they are making a huge mistake, because (for obvious reasons) my enjoyment of the game is also dependent on the wife’s enjoyment of the game.

Same issue here although my wife is the one with the stable connection.

I tried the /clientport ‘fix’ it did nothing for me on Vista 64. Still hoping a solution if found by Dev’s because I really do want to enjoy the game. I just can’t, it gets frustrating DCing every 5-15 mins.

I just installed the game yesterday. I am lucky to make it through character creation without getting kicked back to character select with no warning or error message. I am also having the issue of of “The game client lost it’s connection to the server”

My wife has been playing the game for a couple months with this issue rarely occurring. Last night we were playing together. She never DC’d meanwhile I had 7.

We are at neighboring computers hardwired into the router.
