Guild Wars 2

Enzo.2104:

OMFG people, there is a problem with the game and not with your Internet! I have problems in most locations, but as Metrica Province is completely no lags place.

26 pages and help anywhere. kitten us in high. Why not test the fixes before they embark to the game?!

In my guild only I experiencing lagfest in gw2 so its not that simple. It’s not the bug in game or patches but imo anet changed the way game servers handling packet loss.

As i said before i’m not an network expert but few ppl posted traceroutes in this thread and if you look at them you can see that some routes are similar. So i’m guessing there is a bottleneck or few in our connection to gw2 that causing packet loss. I can’t blame arenanet and ncsoft and i can’t blame my ISP either because errors are somewhere between.

Question is what we can do about this? Changing ISP will help, proxy servers and VPN maybe but for me it’s too much trouble.

ISP: Vectra
County: Poland

Same here, lag spikes after january patch and since then it’s even worse.

After january patch i was experiencing lags mostly in PVP, playing in dungeons and maps was fluid so i thought its related in tests on PVP changes, but after two weeks same lags appeared in rest of game. Lags last for few or even dozen of seconds, in PVP i can run through half of map on lag.
After february patch game mostly disconnect me on longer lags so now game for me is totally unplayable and its hard to even make daily.

I tried deleting local.dat, configuring port forwarding in router, changing ports, even changing server but no luck so far. I might be wrong coz i dont know much about networks but game was running ok for me before and i can play other online games without problems so i don’t think it’s ISP problem.
