Guild Wars 2

Found this and remembered your post, it was posted by anet. This might help if you are on pc. If it doesn’t work, I highly recommend submitting a ticket.

A:
Hi FireFlame – If you’re still experiencing this issue, I would like you to delete the Temporary Cache for Guild Wars 2. To do this:
1. In Windows, press the “Start” button and locate the “Search programs and files” bar at the bottom of the start menu.
2. Type in temp exactly as shown. (With the precent signs)
3. Press “Enter” and a new window should appear with the location of “C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp”
4. Locate the folder labeled "gw2cache-{RANDOM NUMBERS} and delete it.
After doing this, please try running Guild Wars 2 again.
Hope this helps!

Try another alt? (you can take a lvl 2 in there, just make a new asura, get him to the free candlestick and try again) if that doesn’t work, you can transfer some unconverted baubles to them and buy the cheaper upgrades again.

I believe the purse is considered an upgrade, since you start with the stick.

I use QoS on my wireless router and set the TCP and UDP for all 4 ports list to open, priority high.

I agree with Saul that Skype is really ad at chewing up Internet bandwidth, but because it’s VoIP, it needs higher bandwidth for clarity and fluidity. Even vent causes me lag sometimes too. If your wireless has QoS, you can add Skype as one of the allowances with priority.

I was getting the same code you have, but I am on a Mac laptop and it seemed that my wireless network card was swapping network bands with my dual band router… Switching from a 5ghz connection to a 2.4ghz connection when the signal degraded. I never lost connectivity on anything else I did (streaming vids, downloading game updates, etc), only gw2!

I don’t know anything about your setup, but I’ll note my solution for my code 7 disconnect. I changed the names (ssid) of my wireless bands to unique names – ex: 5ghz = my-internet5, 2.4ghz = my-internet2. And I only allowed my laptop the password to one of those, so it can’t switch automatically. Haven’t had a code 7 d/c since… Only different crashing errors in WvW, but those are another story.

If you still can’t figure it out, contact support via a ticket ASAP as mentioned by Saul again.

The game server does lag a bit during prime playtimes sometimes, but it’s not unplayable, just inconvenient unless your ISP can’t keep up.

Reminder, they added several new waypoints with the guild puzzles and a few poi’s with the living story. Plus they added the waypoint in the the cursed shore (northern region in the water).

If you don’t know what you missed, find a safe place to stand, go to your map and mouse over the text in every region, a little pop-up will show that maps’ completion and what item you are missing. When they added the new points, they did not take away from your completion if it was already done, but if you still had maps to complete, you need to get these last couple before you get your 100%. And lastly, as mercury noted, there is a known bug and some people have to explore the whole of the chantry of secrets twice to get 100%.

Hope this helps, good luck!

This happened on my server once in EB, our keep lord was stuck outside for several days lol.

Here are a few things to try:

1.) try repairing disk permissions via Disk Utility first. Then…

2.) repair the client install

Open Terminal

Type the following:

/applications/guild\ wars\ 2.app/contents/MacOS/cider —use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 -- C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe -repair

You can copy and paste that in too. Run it and let it go until finished. FYI if you type the command yourself, they are 2 dashes (-) side by side… I’m noticing one sometimes looks like an em dash… It’s 2 en dashes though. (the dash before USE is 2 regular dashes)

3.)Perhaps after doing that, if it doesn’t work, you can try to delete the contents of the gw2 data folder, it’s a pain to get to the right one:

Mine is located under the hidden Library folder

/[yourharddrivename]/users/[yourusername]/library/application support/guild wars 2

Delete the contents of that specific folder, then re-run the client.

When I was having issues purchasing gems and getting a parse error, option 3 worked for me and I’ve been okay since. There problem still remains with the occasional trading post not loading issue, but a client restart usually fixes that.

So try 3, if it doesn’t work, try 1 and 2. Let me know how you go either way. If none works after a few client restarts, submit a ticket (see the sticky).

Yeah, that doesn’t seem to matter sometimes… As long as it’s able to be fixed when broken.

Give it a few plays, sometimes it’s laggy the first few starts and just after an update or crash (mine always is).

What seems to have fixed your problem?

If you’re still having lagginess, let me know with what and maybe I can help there also. No guarantees ;p

And you are still unable to play?

Check this link:

https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8994/~error-codes

Error code 7.x has some ports to make sure are opened on your new router. I personally use QoS and set up those 4 ports.

If checking router settings and making sure there are no restrictions on it or firewalls set up (sometimes new routers default to have a firewall active), you may need to call your ISP and ask if they block ports or limit traffic in anyway.

Hope that helps in some way. Let me know

Edit: if you have a separate modem for your new ISP, check the settings there also.

Is this cable with a static ip address or dsl that could switch when it aquires a new lease from the isp? Did you tell it to save the new ip address (from the email link)? Also, does the news feed load on the left side (while the play button is grey)?

If it’s greyed out, it means you aren’t authenticated typically. This will happen constantly (or more often) if your ISP uses dynamic ip address for end users. Also, I’ve noted a recent problem with receiving my authentication emails, they are taking up to 55 mins to get in my mailbox.

I just bought a new router to use with my gigabit modem, that uses a different ip address than a non gigabit Internet connection, so I had to re-authenticate 3 computers to my new ip address and 2 times, it took me nearly an hour to actually be able to authenticate… But since my ISP uses static ip addresses for us end-users, I just made sure to tick the box and allow.

Sorry this is long, but I hope this helps. Please write back and let me know how it went.

(I waited so long for the email, my connection to the game timed out and sent a second one when I tried again, it took an additional 15 mins after sending the 2nd one just to get the first… Hence 2 times for one account)

Erin, just wondering if you found a solution to your problem. I found mine, it was my wireless router and I now have minimal issues. If you ever get back here, let me know how you made out.

I wish this was only an in-combat bug… I’ve had it happen out of combat with ori picks, axes, and sickles I’ve had coper fail with an iron pick even, gold fail with an ori pick, logs and plants too! Not even in the level 80 zones… Once per day something gets ruined on me. My ori nodes fail a lot too. And I’ve had ruined elder logs and orrian truffles as well as ghost peppers… Bah

I think I just have a very high probability of bad luck in-game lol…. I wish I could say that is a joke, but between terrible drop rates and ruined mats, I am always fighting an uphill battle of trying to gain anything… It’s gotten a smidge better since the last update that involved drop rates and guaranteed rare chests for world bosses, but still lower than my friends and other players I converse with… I always get the “you’re doing it wrong” comment with nothing to back it up. How do you mine a node wrong?! (out of combat how do you open a chest wrong? (consistently get lvl 76-78 rares and barely any exotics)

Oh well, not the place for this. The molten pick is still an awesome idea!!!!!

Sometimes that doesn’t work either, I’ve tried that before too. Besides, Z is quick and easy and much more convenient in jumping puzzles.

Thanks for those replies! I really thought this was just a Mac client issue. I’m sad to see that it is a universal problem.

I know that the only confirmed fix is restarting the client, but has anyone tried ticking the windowed mode option, then reverting to full-screen? I haven’t had this issue in about 2-3 weeks now, but just over a week ago someone recommended that as a ui fix for something else occurring and it helped. Just curious if anyone else might have tried that.

Not exactly sure what you are saying happened. I can see that you began the download. I don’t understand “when the download is entered on the home screen of the character’s choice.” does this mean you were able to load/open the game and view the character select screen?

If you aren’t sure where to find the game client on your computer, it should be located under your /Applications folder “Guild Wars 2.app” it should be easy enough to find using the finder.

I’m sorry I can’t be 100% sure what you are asking; if I completely missed the mark, please write back again or maybe someone else has a suggestion. I hope I didn’t come off as rude, I just want to be sure I understood your problem, but didn’t want to leave you hanging for an answer. I do hope this helps you.

I experience ths regularly as well. I haved filled out several in-game bug reports for it also. It tends to happen just after I zone in somewhere, but not every time… Just more frequently after I use a waypoint or zone change.

Quick question, are you guys on pc or Mac client? (I’m on Mac)

This is a mac beta issue it seems, it was all over the Mac beta forums when it first started. Maybe try to get a good screen in game and submit a report there using /bug.

(the Mac forums are not currently being monitored and as this is a bug, it was reported here it seems, good call IMO as it would never get fixed if not made aware)

Try hitting Z to put your weapon away. That usually gets me out of combat much more quickly than just standing there. This has helped others as well. Might as well try.

Sadly, this isn’t just you. I just tried to help another person in-game just the other day with the exact same issue affecting his shoulders and helm. Our only conclusion for those items was to submit a bug report in game and maybe a ticket as well. This also happened on items he transmutted.

If it happens again and you’re absolutely certain the box isn’t asking you if you want to destroy the item, then submit a ticket.

Don’t all mining picks have a chance to fail? I use ori picks and end up with ruined chunks sometimes (even on iron and gold). This typically will happen when I’m trying to mine while in combat. Btw, I think the molten pick is an ori pick equivalent, just unlimited.

Are you on Mac or pc?

And as far as I have seen with purchasing gems on gw2, the data they request is always consistent; no spaces in the credit card #, they do want your ccv#, they never need the first 4 (since those are typically just a repeat of the last 4 digits of the card #).

I had an issue with purchasing gems since September where I would get a parse error every time I’d try to complete the transaction. I could enter all info, confirm my info and purchase details, but then when I would purchase… Parse error! I used my hubs Mac and pc and both worked. I am on a Mac, for me, deleting the contents of the gw2 folder (the one that contains the config file, NOT the application folder) and opening the game to let those files redownload fixed my problem and I haven’t had one since with gems.

Have you guys tried making a new character to re-do certain hints? Be certain to actually click on the hints boxes once they appear. Maybe triggering one hint could complete a missing one. I had mine stuck at 79/83, but I was only missing 3 (mailbox, Mesmer, & engineer). Once I got my mailbox full, I had 81/83. Then I completed another, but it still said 81/83… Finally I got my last hint completed and suddenly, it registered 83/83 and I got the achieve. It seems there is some odd error with tallying, maybe retriggering a few of them could help it to count the ones it missed before.

Hey, you don’t have it now, what’s taking a few minutes to create a new character and running them into pvp for a few and use a treb, filling their mailbox with messages from payers (must have ZERO game messages in that box, delete them all!!! Only player messages will do it), or a quick visit to WvW. It won’t hurt to try and get them to re-trigger.

Good luck to all of you still having issues.

Sorry, thought I posted this the other day…

From the wiki:

26:11:5:506 Connection failed. Please try again. Check if you are using a proxy or a program that blocks IP addresses.

Do you have your Mac firewall on? Have you tried completely disabling your Sophos? Next is to check your router/modem and be certain it’s not blocking certain ports or connections in anyway. If that looks good, follow the instructions listed under error code 7.x at the following link:

https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8994/~error-codes

I use QoS priorities for mine since I have 3 comps running gw2 on my network. If those don’t work, you may need to contact your ISP and ask if they are blocking ports at all or limiting connections in any way. You might be able to ask them to start allowing things or opening them. (that may be a thing of the past though lol)

Lastly, if none of that works, check the submitting a ticket sticky and see if anet can help you.

Good luck and if you still check up on this, let us know how you made out.

Have you resolved your issue?

If not, have you emptied your trash? Cleaned out temp files or Internet cookies or anything like that? Quit all active and running apps?

If those aren’t the issue, maybe check the submitting a ticket sticky and have a go at that.

It’s not, I was having the same issue. I made a huge post about it just after the culling update. I have only had a d/c or crash twice in WvW since I worked on my router issues and setup QoS priorities on my wireless router. And the crash was completely bizarre, I think I made a post about that the other day. I can point you to a post or 2 if you’d like, but if you’ve been reading the most current threads, you’d see most of my suggestions. Let me know.

Snow, I just noticed your system. It seems your system isn’t listed in the “guaranteed to work systems,” you may be just slightly below spec to get favourable results. But I still have a question for you, does this happen constantly, only after the game has been running a bit, or immediately after a system restart? Do you ever get desirable fps? Also, when running the game, open your activity monitor and see what your “inactive memory” is at (blue on the pie chart) and how much “free memory” you have available (green). That might help determine choppiness and how to fix it.

Karatekid, seriously, what MBP are you running on and with what specs and graphics settings? I’m super curious as I can barely push above 30fps with med settings on my MBP.

Snow, let me know when you can and you too Karatekid.

Sometimes I have issues with temporary periods of no sound upon loading into a new location. More populated areas like LA and DR are the worst, taking up to 3 mins to load and catch up. Then I get slammed with overlapping voices and sound effects from the last min or so. WvW sometimes has issues like this too during zergs and clashes.

Have you made absolutely sure your sound settings in game are on and turned up? Mute is not on through your system? Did you check your system preferences for sound? Speakers working? (you may find it annoying that I ask those, but always double check the absolute basics first)

If those options are all clear, everything working elsewhere and settings are good, you can try the “deleting your game settings folder” option. Here are a few more options to try (reposting from another thread):

To repair:

try repairing disk permissions via Disk Utility first. Then…

Open Terminal

Type the following:

/applications/guild\ wars\ 2.app/contents/MacOS/cider —use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 -- C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe -repair

You can copy and paste that in too. Run it and let it go until finished. FYI if you type the command yourself, they are 2 dashes (-) side by side… I’m noticing one looks like an em dash… It’s 2 en dashes though.

Perhaps after doing that, if it doesn’t work, you can try to delete the contents of the gw2 data folder, it’s a pain to get to the right one:

Mine is located under the hidden Library folder

/library/application support/guild wars 2

Delete the contents of that specific folder, then re-run the client.

Let us know how you make out either way. Good luck!

I don’t think they’re actually reading this part of the forum anymore. It’s mostly players helping other players. Best bet, read the sticky about submitting a ticket with log files and have at it.

Many problems arrive because of Lions Arch! Also, as for guild login influence.(I personally, haven’t had any guild admin issues knocks on wood)however, I went through one day and filled out about 5 bug reports for daily login influence (one per character logged with a problem each and one for an end of day tally). My findings for those experiencing issues as well will now be listed in hopes this can help some of us smaller guilds.

1. Stay clear of lions arch at all costs! Do not log any character in la and expect points… Just doesn’t happen, and if you get stuck in an overflow, kiss the points you would’ve gotten goodbye. You can get points rarely, but again, it’s rare! Drop them in the Bloodtide coast or take a gate out to somewhere else, then log out.

2. Avoid zones with overflow, you won’t get them.

3. You will only ever get credit for a max of 5 characters per accountper day. Even if you have 8 characters logged a day, you only get 5 of them, so make them count.

4. Make sure each character you log is in a unique location. (don’t log 2 characters located in Rata Sum, for example, you’ll only get the points for the first one) As a precaution, make sure when you log off of a character, you drop them off in a unique location (unique map) before leaving them.

5. Now this one makes no sense at all, but it seems there is a connection between characters on different accounts within a guild and their locations. Say one person is logged in already at the Black Citadel, and you log on to your character in the Black Citadel, it seems, you won’t get your login points. I’ve tested this several times over the last few days and it has happened multiple times. So there you go… Go figure how that is possible!

6. Timing also seems to be related. If 2 people log in at virtually the same time, your guild may only get credit for one character… This includes switching characters. Not sure how that works either, but I’ve seen it happen. It may not be consistent, but very possible.

I can’t guarantee that any of you will have the same problems, but after tracking this for almost a month solid, I’ve found these issues and tested several of them multiple times. I’ve observed the guild login influence issues since november, but have only narrowed down specifics in the last 2 months. And sometimes, you still don’t get points on every character, for no apparent reason. But these problems still persist and it really makes problems for us smaller guilds. I mean, how many people leave their characters in Lion’s Arch due to convenience?!?! And if you leave multiple characters there, you shoot yourself in the foot.

Small guilds count on these influence points to build currency for upgrades. If you only have 5 players, 1 who logs almost daily and plays a lot, 1 who logs for a few hours on weekends only, and 2 who log only about 2 hours a week if lucky… Most on only one character, at 2 influence per event, it takes a long time to gain points for anything useful. Pve guilds barely stand a chance unless points accumulate smoothly and without fault.

So, I hope these tips I found can help other small guilds to maximise their influence gain. Sorry this is so long, I just wanted to be thorough. And please, refrain from telling us small guild peeps to find a larger guild or change guilds, because we are in these small guilds for a reason, so that’s not helping. These things need to be fixed!!!!

Thanks for taking the time to read this

What helped my crashing in WvW was setting the QoS on my wireless router. I would slow to a stutter in WvW (not be able to cast spells or anything, same with world bosses), then I would be stuck on one frame, then blackness flash then crash.

https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8994/~error-codes

Check error code 7.x for the ports and see if you could mess around with that… Maybe slow graphics combined with Internet issues is messing things up for you guys. It’s just a suggestion.

Also, there is something about editing the config file to increase the graphics memory to match your video cards as well. Search around the forums for that though, because I can’t remember the specifics of which line of code, it’s not too hard to recognise. Worth a shot anyway since you’re unplayable as it is. Let us know how you make out.

Have either of you two tried running the repair yet? Or have you fixed your issue somehow already?

To repair:
try repairing disk permissions via Disk Utility. Then…

Open Terminal

Type the following:

/applications/guild\ wars\ 2.app/contents/MacOS/cider —use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 -- C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe -repair

(activeBlock->size & 0xf) == 0×0

A serious error has occurred… You know the rest!

I got this while teleporting to the Kessex Haven Waypoint from the Ministers Waypoint in Divinity’s Reach. Upon logging in, I was at my destined waypoint.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this one before and how yours occurred? Thanks guys.

Your folder is probably hidden (as is the default). I found this after googling:

http://m.wikihow.com/See-Hidden-Folders-on-Mac-OS-X-and-Other-Recent-Models

I do remember doing something similar to this on mine, but it was over a year ago when I needed it for something else. Feel free to try it, or wait for someone else to post something. Others claim alt+clicking a file/folder unhides the contents, but that was never successful for me. At least the link has visuals for you. Good luck.

I think this is happening to many on macs.

I think, if you are the only computer using it, you must use your computers ip address. I don’t know if it is 192.168.1.2, it all depends on your router’s setup. You can find your current ip address by going to system preferences/network/wi-fi/advanced/“tcp/ip”
Your ip address is listed as ipv4. Use that number listed.

However, your router must be using static ip addresses. That is setup under your router configuration page. Login to your router via the address you posted above, on the setup page, go to basic setup. Under Network Setup, you want to DISABLE the DHCP server, then set your computer to one ip address? Now, you may have to do this for every item connected to your router, but make sure each one gets a unique ip. Then move on with the port forwarding that you tried before, making sure to use the ip address associated with your computer.

I cannot guarantee this will work for you! It may break your internet. If this does not work, you definitely have to call your ISP and ask what they changed and if it is relation to any of the ports that gw2 requires. There might be something they can do on their end.

If anyone has any other suggestions, please chime in.

FYI, I do not use port forwarding or static ips on my system. Only QoS, so this is theoretical on my part. Just trying to help using a lot of googling and the linksys website

Sometimes it can fix random errors including problems with the trading post. Look around the forums a bit, you’ll see a lot random issues fixed by this.

I get this issue during my initial loading of the map per character, but it tends to resolve itself for me after awhile.

26:11:5:506 Connection failed. Please try again. Check if you are using a proxy or a program that blocks IP addresses.

I found that on the wiki. Are you running any anti-virus software? Or do you have a firewall setup on either your comp or router? Let us know how you make out with those.

I was getting errors like this, a lot of errors like this and repairing permissions, nor the install fixed it. Turns out, I was having networking issues. My computer was miraculously swapping networks, going from 5ghz connection to 2.4ghz randomly. My first fix was to rename my 2.4ghz ssid… So it has a similar name, but wouldn’t automatically switch to it unless I re-enter the password. (the one you change depends on your setup, 2.4 ghz is better for larger places with lots of obstacles between you and the router, 5ghz is better for closer connections) This fixed my major disconnect issue that would occur on my MBP when I would disconnect randomly and sometimes when I would unplug my power cable.

My second fix was to allow priority through certain ports on my router.

https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8994/~error-codes

I used QoS filtering and set these ports to medium or high. This post recommends port forwarding, but I run about 4 computers on my network with 3 of them running gw2 and I couldn’t only have priority on mine.

Now, I don’t know anything about your system, if it’s a laptop, MacMini, or whatever else you could have. I also know nothing else about your connection or ISP or where your modem/router is in relation to your comp, I don’t know if you’re hard wired to your Internet or running wireless, I don’t know if you have a firewall set up or use anti-virus software. So what worked for me, may not solve your problem. There are many variables to your issue that I may be forgetting about.

If your situation might match mine, try my suggestion, if not, try replying with some details that might help others come up with suggestions for you. Also, checking your error logs sometimes help to pinpoint why you’re d/c’ing. Let us know how you make out!

I’ll ask my hubs if his system is the same, he sometimes uses 2 displays in his office. I do know that for dual screens, you have to set one as main and that is the one gw2 runs on (because of the menu bar etc). But I’ll check and see if his 2nd display goes black while playing.

You guys know that if you’re playing in full screen mode that you can use command+tab to switch running applications, or even just to desktop?

Try using one of the other 2 ways to log out that I suggested and see what happens. (the X in top right corner or try using logout to get to character select screen, then use log out once more and see if it will take you back to the login client)

I had mine raised up nearly 1/2 inch using 2 hi-polymer erasers (cheap, but effective lol). That also helped quite a bit and that is what I use for traveling rather than carrying the cooling fan bit with me… So that could work too in a pinch if you don’t want to invest in the lap desk thing.

What are you clicking? Logout or exit to desktop? Have you tried clicking the X in the top left corner? Just a few questions to start off… I haven’t seen this issue at all. Even on 6 other Mac systems users.

If you click logout (from character select screen), it should logout and leave the login client open. Exit to desktop and X close everything all together. The only time I need to force quit is if I get disconnected due to an error code and it leaves me with a black screen for several minutes… Then yes, I’m too impatient to wait and force quit.

Let us know

Update (this will be long):

So just in case this was happening for anyone else I’m going to post an update to my issues.

I figured out why I was disconnecting and getting code 7:11:3:189:101. I found out that I was having an issue with my MBP switching from a 5ghz connection to a 2.4ghz connection randomly. The swap happened so smoothly, I never noticed it in anything else before, but upon trying to view my log files for gw2, I tripped on my console log and saw that my disconnects were occurring with a network issue that involved a new Mac address, low and behold, I confirmed it on my husbands’ MBPr (had to wait until he was asleep and left it unlocked for me to steal it for a few mins… Work computers bah). It took more effort for me to find the connection swap on his, but I duplicated my disconnect issue.

Fix: if you run an 802.11n wireless router with dual band, make sure that both bands have a different name (I.e. 5ghz = my-Internet-5 and 2.4ghz = my-Internet-2). Yes, the 5ghz doesn’t have the staying power to push through a lot of walls (or pipes for that matter), but it helps free your comp from interference of other devices. 2.4ghz goes the distance. Also, if you do that, make sure your comp is only registered on one of those network names (you can still print to printers registered on the other if setup right).

Good news though, I have done this for mine and moved my comp all over my house and haven’t lost connection yet. Lol, I don’t even have lag when my hubs hijacks the Internet for Netflix anymore

As for the WvW disconnecting and errors… I cannot confirm this one 100% yet as I’ve only tested it briefly and my server is now the green team (lol could be completely random coincidence), but I have also adjusted my router with QoS settings for gw2.

I can’t find the specific place, but I saw that gw2 needs unrestricted access to 4ports: 80, 443, 6112, 6600. I set up for both inbound and outbound unrestricted with high priority. Tonight I was able to be apart of a 2 huge Zerg clash of about 30 vs 50 and I didn’t have the awful lag, what, dead issue… I knew when I was going to die and I was even able to pull off a heal and still run more than 3frames per second. So far so good. Yes, my WvW graphics settings are fairly low, but I saw it all, including the red circles lol. (limit = medium, quality = low).

I know not every router has QoS settings, but I believe you can use port forwarding to your comps ip address (requires static ip), but I cannot confirm anything about that since I have not tried it. And I don’t know how it works with more than one comp (which is why I went with QoS settings). But I did read an official post about it somewhere. Sorry, I really can’t remember where.

I hope this helps someone fix any issues they are having. Thanks again for the suggestions Todd, you really got me thinking deeper again considering I was at my wits end with this. Win win win!

Code 7 x x x x

Someone posted this in another thread, maybe try it:

"
I finally got it to run by executing the MacOs/cider file with sudo privilege
"

This is quoted from another user. Worth a shot since you’ve already been running it through terminal. Also, the problem in this thread (that I’m quoting) said the user was not on an admin account on his Mac… Are you? Worth checking.

Good luck!

Yep, pretty mich how it is, it’s a resource hog!

I’ve picked up a lap desk cooling fan type thing for mine recently. It doesn’t keep the system from getting hot, but it allows air to flow under the bottom of the system preventing it from getting much hotter. This way, you aren’t trapping all that heat under the system, it allows the air to circulate underneath. The top left of the keyboard will still get super hot and the left vent will still heat your home in the winter, but my CPU rarely gets over 89C.

Good luck.

Yep, one purchase is all it takes. You will never be charged extra or have to buy another account whenever the Mac client is out of beta… So have your friend buy their own account so you don’t have any issues

Your friend can purchase the game at the above link. Both versions are included in the cost. Just make sure they register with a valid email address and a unique password. They can download either client from here:

https://account.guildwars2.com/login

The game functions the same whether it is pc or mac, just as long as they purchase the game, they should have no problems getting the Mac verdion for themselves. If they already downloaded the client, they just need to log in with their own newly created login. Easy easy! No discs ever required, just 20some Gb of downloads ;p
