Guild Wars 2

Adding one to the others, altough I do not think you guys (ANet) realy give a flying crap against the issue (apperantly).

I (would like to) play from UK / London on 30 meg Virgin broadband. I have no mayor problems with other games (played RoM, Lol (here minor lagg in bussy times of the day, but still playable), WoT, TF2, etc.).

I have an ASUS KV53 laptop with (not extensive list) Win 7/Linux (dual boot, Linux is only for testing GW2), GT540M grafics card, 4 Gig of RAM, yada yada, Atheros Wifi, etc.

I bought the game about 1 week ago, and after logon I kept getting dc, so I was unable to create a caracter. I installed Linux and managed to create a caracter. Unfortunately on Linux my Nvidia/Optimus driver is not realy doing well, so even with low settings I have 10 fps, and while there is no disconnect, it is unenjoyable (for the record on Windows in most of the games FPS is between 25 – 60, which I concider acceptable for a laptop).

I kept trying to play on Windows, and during this weekend I managed to play constant (wohooo!) 15 – 20 minutes before the game gave me error codes (with constant laggs, freezes). I would seek your wise advice to how to extend this wooping numbers of small sessions to a few hour enjoyable playtime, but I gues you have no idea nor care. Anyway, as a person working in customer support as well, I would like to express my disapointment.

Also to make things clear:
- game works in Linux, usualy manages to keep network connection but ugly (this eliminates the problem on behalf of my ISP/router/network adapter, if the occurance of dc only when GW2 runs would not be enough)
- OS up to date, drivers up to date
-antivirus is not an issue, tried without even one installed, same disconnect
- hardware is more than sufficient
- tested with different Wifi adapter too (bought USB wifi for this purpose)
- I am not an idiot, nor computer illiterate, at least COMPTIA, Microsoft Certificate and CISCO soon, work in IT industry says that…

Conclusion: go fix your bloody game, thats what people pay for.

E.F.S.

Oh yes, and if it would not be obvious, the problem is not with my net, nor my Windows. Conection is ok:
- if there would be a problem with the connection, the game would dc in Linux as well, but it does not…there the only issue is the graphics
- if the problem would be some settings/programs in my Windows 7…well I eliminated this possiblity by trying out the program on a fresh Win 7 install, with nothing but basic drivers (unfortunately I can not try this out without network driver or display driver:P), and the same disconnect is constant
-I updated the Wifi drivers, Windows, checked all ports in FW, even switched it off, tryed before installing any anti virus, so basicaly on a vanila Win 7…no avail. I wanted to test on XP as well (not compatibility mode, been there, done that, no avail), but unfortunately my laptop does not have XP drivers.

I would think the program have some issues with the Wifi driver, as it is basically often disrupts my connection. I looked into it, updated to the latest (maybe I will give a go for Win. Unfortunately I have no means to try direct cable connection and also I do not want to bother with 10 meters of RJ45 around my rented house just for one particular game to play.
