Guild Wars 2

I’m having the exact same problem. A few days ago I went and re-installed the game in attempt to fix my incurable Guild chat bug. That’s when it started happening to me [I’ve been playing since almost launch with no major problems].

All previous installs have been from the physical copy, without any problems. My recent re-installs have been from the digital copy on the gw2 website. I’ve tried everything listed here in attempt to fix this. As well as removing+installing my video driver. Nothing works.

I was running the game just fine like 10 minutes before I did the re-install of the digital copy. So it’s pretty obv what the problem here is.

My dvd drive is inoperable right now [the reason I resorted to the digital copy] so I’m ordering a new one and will install the physical copy since the digital copy has been the biggest pain.

Here’s my ArenaNet.log file

Reviving an age old topic but I am having the exact same problem.

I’ve actually been playing since about launch but have just now started experiencing this since I installed the digital copy of the gw2 client. All previous installs have been done from the physical copy and I’ve never had this problem (I was playing just fine 2 days ago). I don’t have the discs anymore though so that is why I have to download the digital copy.

Every time I enter Heart of the Mist, game freezes on that loading screen. And all characters already zoned into the mist are stuck there since I can’t load that map. All other maps load fine.

(Also, if I try to view my Contacts list while on the character select screen, it freezes.. idk)

This is probably the cruelest bug I’ve ever heard of since HotM is the only map I have any interest in going to and to re-install means I have to re-download xx gb of total crap content and hope it fixes the one map I am trying to go to.

2 of the 3 guilds I am in work just fine. The third guild, I just joined a few days ago has this problem. I tried all the known hotfixes, if you wanna call ’em that. Nothing works. Ticket submitted. ZzzzzZZZzzZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The WoW episode of South Park comes to mind after reading this.

I used to always see people in the borderlands complaining that you should have to be rank XXX to have a commander tag or that it shouldn’t be so cheap. Well there ya go, a tag will be 3 times harder to get. Not that 300g isn’t easily achievable – but who cares? Blob me harder.

I generally am not a fan on the jumping puzzles. I don’t go out of my way to do them ever. But I actually liked the SAB world when I tried it out and I thought it was probably one of the coolest areas added to the game so far. I never really got far into it because I just don’t care to do jumping puzzles all day. So it is unfortunate that you could only play it for one month out of the year. It being available for only one month does not encourage someone like me to play it. But at least a couple times a week I do get the urge to want to go back to SAB and jump around. I wish it would stay a permanent playable feature that you could visit as you wish.

If they are really not going to continue SAB, I would hope they re-release the super boomboxes to the gem store to commemorate the good times. That is probably asking too much though c;

The bane of online games in general.. not just MMOs. Thing is, it’s really not that hard to prevent a huge percentage of the hacking that happens.

There is no “blocking” that needs to happen with a anti-hack program.

All you need is a program that detects modified program code. If modified code is detected, account is flagged and reviewed and then a decision is made. That’s how Valve’s anti cheat program works. And while you will still encounter people hacking in VAC supported games, the occurrence is significantly lessened. In middle and high school I used to play Counter-Strike 1.6 and Source and you would see blatant hacking all the time before VAC was put into place. After VAC, I cannot even recall a time when i had a problem with a hacker. Maybe texture and color manipulation. But nothing blatant like the aimbots and speed hacks you would see on the daily.

VAC has been used to ban over 1.5 million steam accounts from VAC supported games.

Anet just needs to get with it and at least try to fight the problem.

I’m looking for a new guild add me up <:D

i just started playing like a month ago but i’m pretty active and am looking for a casual guild.
