Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

I think I found the solution. Atleast it is working for me. I was having black screens at any random times.. could be after 5 minutes or 2 hours.. but I thought it was when there was a lot of people around me..

Here is my spec:

-ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
-Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K
-CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 × 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M4A1600C9B
-Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2BAA 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
-ASUS ENGTX560 DCII OC/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

I tried EVERYTHING about removing drivers, reinstalling any versions of the drivers, I updated my bios, I updated any possible thing I could update. I changed any possible settings in Nvidia control Panel and in game also…. Didn’t fix anything.

Here is what fixed it: Went into my DIR 601 router settings under Advanced Settings, Port Forwarding. Added Guild Wars 2, my computer IP and allowed these ports under TCP: 80,443,6112,6600. Did the samething with Windows 7 Firewall.. I would tell you what to do step by step for windows firewall but my windows 7 is in french so you’re gonna have to google: ‘how to create a new rule windows 7 firewall’.

It fixed my black screens AND my random disconnections error that was saying I had firewall problems. I don’t know if it’s the same problem has the ones who said they had to completely shutdown their computers because what I had to do was only ALT+F4. While I had the black screen I could still move my mouse, hear sound and open up the menu (F10 or F11 I think).

I really hope it works for everyone with the similar problem because I know how frustrating it is !!! Good luck
