Phatt dude, the idea to create a client like that isn’t a bad idea and could help identify the issues that people are having, but then again, the initial error code is too vague for this to work for half the people with it. The code neither indicates a fault with you, any interferance between you and the server and the server itself. The client idea could help but it’s a case of us not knowing where the issue has come from in the first place, which it wouldn’t necessarily help with. As far as I’m aware, the issue for me seems to occur during peak times which may indicate throttling in my area. From what i’ve heard, a conversation with your ISP about throttling will make the issue dissapate but that’s only one possible cause. Another cause is as mentioned before, your router. I’m not sure what the issue with the router is but it seems to have an effect on some peoples performance with the game. And the final was port forwarding or /clientport 80 which helped me significantly. I still get the error every now and then but only during peak times. That is all the information i have gathered so far.
Crazy, i didn’t say port 80 was a security risk. I meant that every other port provides a loophole in the servers securty, making it liable to hacking.
In terms of your issue, it sounds like you’re not having the same issue as i am. Mine occurs whenever, not neccessarily when changing zones but at any time at all. An entirely different issue.The error code indicates that you are having an issue with the server but it’s not a port issue. It may just be a side effect of ArenaNet implamenting the new Heart of Thorns content.
Edit: After poking my nose around other forums, I have found that this is an ongoing issue for many users and the error code covers a wide range of issues. I have found one other fix which may or maynot help: reset your router. This is a method which has worked for other users on the forums and is a recommended method by the ArenaNet staff to try out. If i gather more information, I’ll post it here
Port 80 is the port for gaming. The guild wars server is losing data being sent through other ports because it blocks them to avert any security risks. It shouldn’t work with another because of those reasons. When does the error occur for you? Also, can you copy and paste what’s in your target field?
Crazy, as long as you’re getting the error code 7:11:3:191:101, my solution should work. It worked for me and many other people with the same error code. The error code occurs due to a lack of data being received on the server end. My solution eliminates the possibility of that. Hope it works for you
I’ve said this on another post but I’ll put it here as well since this has a lot of activity.
So I’ve come across a fix for this. Create a shortcut or edit your current shortcut to GW2.exe, open properties of the shortcut and add this to the end of the target field after what’s already in quotations: " /clientport 80"
This is what my field now says after adapting it:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” /clientport 80
What this does is forces your computer to send data through only port 80. So rather than your computer losing data by switching ports (which is what’s happening), data will only be sent through port 80.
