Guild Wars 2

Same disconnecting issue. However, last night it was my wife’s computer disconnecting and I was fine. Tonight it is my computer (round 3 now) disconnecting and she is playing just fine. Is there some kind of bottlenecking with this last update? Because, it is not working.It would be a major drag if I can’t play the game in the same house with my spouse.

My wife and I have experienced this issue in an interesting way, so I figured I might post here to add to the knowledge base about it. First, our situations for running the game are virtually identical:

We have physically identical machines and hardware (and mostly software, too)
We sit in the same room, connected wirelessly to the same router
We (obviously) connect through the same IP
We play together, logged into the same zones at the same time, and our characters are nearby each other

Wondering if it was some kind of bandwidth cap issue somewhere, I tried logging out so that only she was connected to the game. It made no difference. My suspicion is that somehow her account is being served at a consistently lower priority than mine, since this problem never occurs in reverse – I’m never the one lagged while she’s doing fine. The next time this happens, I’m going to have us switch seats and each log in from the other’s machine to see if the problem tracks the machine or the account.

WOW!!! We have had exactly the SAME issue and the same sort of effects that you enumerated. I’ve been going nuts trying to figure out why my wife’s computer has been having this issue and mine has not. (My wife said that GW2 must be discriminating against women, after I read your post to her… haha.)

If this has been a choice on Anet’s part to do this on purpose then they are making a huge mistake, because (for obvious reasons) my enjoyment of the game is also dependent on the wife’s enjoyment of the game.

Yeah, I want to play a Kodan character… <sigh>
