Guild Wars 2

I think it only works once you are “in combat” and have some enemy targeted. Target your victim, press 1, run up into range and then dodge.

Yes it is a pain in the … (think of the kittens, don’t say the word that becomes kitten).

Work around it, adapt to its quirks, like all the other “features”.

I just got to this stage and to be honest I was so so annoyed I logged off. It is not a “personal” story if it take a world event and a group dungeon to complete it. Worse the loot is said to be on par with the Star Wars personal story loot (total garbage). I am going to take a break for a while, this was a bit of a deal breaker for me. There are some nice aspects of the game, and then there are things like this.

Her files …………………………………………….

network diagnostics for mine.

Well it is not the network, router, ISP or something external to my PC. My wife and I share the same network as she is fine. She even has the same Anti-virus software. We are both running Windows 7 64 bit. She has zero errors; I have it each time I log in. It is like the old connect is kept between sessions even though it is timed out and it does not get a new one for a few minutes. After that I am fine.

I tried repair, I tried clientport 80, no difference to be seen, still:
Error Code 7:1000:7006:836
The game client lost its connection to the server. Please wait a few minutes before restating the client and trying again.

Personally I find the error message insane because if you do restart it just does it again. I have to let the client sit for a few minutes and then try several times and then finally it lets me in. Restarting does nothing but restart the frustrating episode.

Attached is a zip file with the logs from both machines to help you look at what is different between them to see what is going on. My machine is a Dual Xeon running VMware with 20 GB of memory and 2 SSD. Here is an older Intel dual core machine with 8 GB of ram and a 2 TB hard disk. I think this is a software issue, or possibly hardware dependent. It is not external to the PC since that infrastructure is shared and she has never had any issues.

The attachment is actually a zip file since it is four files. Change the extension. How annoying you cannot upload multiple files or a zip. Expect 4 replies due to a silly limit). The wife is DL files.

I just disable all my off loading and flow control and saw zero difference.

Reviewing those in Ultra-Compare I can see I am running a lot more network overhead because I have vmware installed on my machine. Hardware wise they are very different, and software wise as well. We both run the same type of video card, ATI 6950. They both have up to date video drivers, network drivers and I keep them up to date on windows patches (even the optional ones). We are both running the same antivirus (Kaspersky Internet Security 2013), so I do not think it is that, since I set them both up.

I am suspecting it is unintended consequences due to my different software stack, but it could be the hardware too.

Here is my wife’s diagnostics.

Hopefully by comparing the two you can get some insight.

Build: 15544
Error Code: 7:1000:7006:771

I get this every time I start the client. If I pound on login for a minute or two it relents and lets me in. That is messed up.

The funny thing is my wife has no such issue running on the same network. the only difference is I am running a Dell T5500 with Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate and she is running hers on a home built with the Home Premium edition.

So it is not the network gear or ISP, I think it something machine specific.

I noticed that in the diagnostics (attached) that there were issues in the tracing. It seems to hang up on 10.229.80.1 Odd thing is I can ping the target, I just can not trace to it. The wife gets the same thing though so I guess it is not the issue.
