Guild Wars 2

Thank you Kohlteth.3715 and StinVec.3621 for your help.
I have now verified ports 80 and 443, attempted to repair the files, ensured that my DNS is not static on TCP/IPv4. (and TCP/IPv6, for funsies.) I’m going to run two more tests for ports 6112 and 6600 and be unsurprised when it still fails, but thank you so much for the help you’ve given me. I’ll edit this post from here on out to keep the post count down I suppose.

Edit: I continue to be underimpressed. 6112 and 6600 show no promise, I bounce between the error codes 7:11:3:191:101 and 58:11:5:535:101 like the middle ball in a newton’s cradle. Prayers go unanswered; the creator has better things to solve than packet errors for GW2.

tl;dr
If you purchased this game within the last 30 days, return it for your money back, or learn to enjoy playing in 5 minute increments and being okay not advancing the personal story.

I’ve tried the /clientport 80 solution, although I haven’t tried port 443. Between this post and the error code 7:11:3:189:101, I’ve seen surprisingly little solution to the issue. Thanks for the idea, I’ll give port 443 a whirl and see.

Additionally, across all the posts I’ve found on the issue, the only post that offers any real hint at a solution is seiffer.4971’s cryptic message “Adding -repair to the target destination under properties on the exe fixed this for me.”

Obviously this involves editing the .exe file, but if anyone can give a more accurate process on how to do this, I would gladly test this solution.

This problem still exists, in case ArenaNet was curious, which it doesn’t seem they are. My girlfriend can play just fine at the same time, with the exact same router and ISP (roughly 2 feet to my left), but when I log on I have gotten this problem from day 1.

I tried moving all around the house, having my girlfriend log off, restarting the router, etcetera etcetera. No luck. Not my ISP, not my router, not my modem, not my problem. Good luck everyone, maybe some guru will come save the day eventually.
