Guild Wars 2

It is 8 months after this report was first opened and I am getting Mastery Points from only about half the strongboxes. This is an awful lot of work for some junk armor in the boxes. Very frustrating!

Go to:
Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings

What worked for me was specifically unchecking these boxes:

Automatically detect settings
Use automatic configuration script
Use a proxy server for your LAN

Notes: I suspect that the last checkbox about using a proxy server is what caused the client to work. Most of the MMORPG games I have run in the past required a proxy client in order to get through my ISA Server 2006 Microsoft Firewall. However, most people are not behind a proxy server and do not need a proxy client running on their network so turning off the proxy server in this manner should have no bad effects on daily use of your computer.

However, after completely disabling the proxy server by unchecking all boxes, not just the single “Automatically detect settings,” I am now able to log in. This worked on both my wife’s computer and mine. Therefore, if you are behind a proxy server, turning off the proxy client completely seems to allow the new launcher to work.

This could affect other games, so test carefully.

Unchecking “Automatically Detect Settings” made absolutely no difference on my computer, or on my wife’s computer. The launcher still locks up every time.

Same launcher lockup on Windows 7, 64-bit, with the following Event log entry:

C’mon guys. I was a developer for 28 years, surely you have a solution by now. This is getting to be very frustrating.

Hey Devs. Let the marketing guys know that I am willing to pay a monthly fee for a more stable game. The last few weeks have been very discouraging. Today’s foolishness makes me want to return to EQ2.
