Guild Wars 2

For the last 7 days roughly I have experienced some really horrific lag in game. Initially I thought network, so I picked a couple of websites, like the www.bbc.co.uk and ran a ping -n 100 www.bbc.co.uk and everything game back fine.

Tonight I was experiencing the same kind of problems, so did the same test. Of the 100 packets I sent to www.bbc.co.uk, I was at min 14ms, max 55ms, average 21ms.

Tech details. Running on Gunnars hold, connecting from the UK, on a 60Mb/5Mb connection with Virgin Media Cable.

Intel i7 920 2.66 Ghz (Asus P6TD)
Ati Radeon 5950 (Latest drivers)
6 GB memory
GW2 on kitten .D. (Vertex 2E)

Hardwired to the router, via a Cat 5e connection (PC -> HP 1810G24 -> Draytek 2820Vn).

I am a great believer in leaving my Gaming PC well alone, so once I experienced problems, I updated the graphic drivers. No change.

EU, Gunnars Hold.

Simply can’t login, telling me it’s normally a firewall problem, which is pretty unlikely. Though I just did a 88MB Microsoft Windows 7 update, security and such like.

So it is possible, though maybe the 2 things are related.
