first of all i see that you problem stay connected to authenticate server and to many other anet’s servers .

second issue is the operating system . it gives ( win 8 64 bit again ) to many errors as it seems that it is not patched or fixed from ms if you ahve done the updates …..

p.s. a friend of mine bought a laptop and i advised him to ask as installed win 7 and he is running the game perfect and an another in my guild bought a super game laptop with win 8 ( i7 , 670M ) and he has 20fps in lion archs . i have more with my 7 years old pc

It’s 32-bit because NCSOFT is an Asian company, GW2 is coming to Asia and XP is still 30% of the OS market share there.

ORLY ? tell us n mmo that has 64 bit client PLEASE ….

i am still waiting to see the crash log from the open poster …..

i really dont know a single person that have win 8 and is playing smooth and with high fps the gw2 . maybe there are and i would like to know how they are playing well the game .

a friend of mine bought laptop with win 8 64 bit and i7 on it with moblie nvidia 670 and he has 20 fps in lion’s arch . he tried the compatibility mode as xp sp3 and it didn;t helped .

probably there are major issues with win 8 …. of course it is a os designed for tablets

Error Code 42 x x x x
(example – 42:0:9001:3858:101)

“The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time. This is most commonly caused by firewall or router settings, security applications, or connecting through a campus network. For additional support, please visit http://support.guildwars2.com.”

If you are running security software such as Norton, AVAST, AVG, or McAfee, please try temporarily disabling the software. If this does not work, you might also try adjusting the ‘security’ setting within the firewall settings. Lowering this setting to ‘medium’ or ‘low’ will often clear up connection issues.

In the event that adjusting the security settings does not resolve the issue, please try temporarily uninstalling the security software completely. If this does resolve the issue, please contact the software manufacturer for instructions on how to configure it correctly if you wish to reinstall it.

In addition, Guild Wars 2 requires TCP ports 80, 443, 6112 and port 6600 be fully unrestricted and accessible, both inbound and outbound. For further information about opening ports or port forwarding, you can visit the following website: http://www.portforward.com Please note, this site is not affiliated with or supported by NCSOFT or ArenaNet.

If you are connecting to Guild Wars 2 while on a campus, military, or business network, please check with your network’s administrator to verify that these ports are fully opened and unrestricted. If you are on a home Local Area Network (LAN), you will want to make sure that your network’s hardware is properly configured.

Hey Regina,

The error is:

Error 7:11:3:191:101

Then when I try to reconnect I’m returned to the character select with this error:

Network Error 5:11:3:159:101

Then the game shuts down and automatically starts the patcher.

an another user solve it by upgrading the router’s firmware . https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/disconnect-problem-7-11-3-191-101/page/4

you net diag is fine . the errors that have are coming from your os .

you must realize that your are playing a dx 9 based game with win 8 that is still new ….. with what ever this means ….

maybe if you run the game in compatibility mode as xp sp3 the problem will disappear

this process is like a browser .

if you are using a proxy or any entry inside the settings of the proxy then the trading post fails to read the data from the game server. it opens but it shows nothing,

open the internet explorer > tools > internet options > connections > lan settings

and check if there is a proxy enabled . if it is enabled uncheck the box and rstart the game

if this is not your problem try to run the client with xp sp3 compatibility mode

This is is a side effect of the the very often updates – patches and fixes …. and it is good that we have them ,but you must find a solution too …

I am thinking that the best solution is this : after every patch force repair and verify the client once

after this post i will stop answer to the players that have this problem . it is not my job or other players job but yours

after that you can find the new shortcut in your desktop . right click on it

your system has only 2 gigabytes ram and it goes out of memory . you have some options to lower the need of memory from your operating system.

1 . do not run any other programs while you are playing ( this is the easiest solution )
2. disable in your bios devices that you are not use ( an example is the serial ports and parallel port or onboard sound if you have pci audio card ) this will reduce the ram that allocate the kernel for the drivers
3. add one more gigabyte ram
or
4. change the ram that some devices use like vga , but this is very advanced and i dont have time for complete solution for your video card

the easiest method is to upgrade or total change the ram . if you just add 1 gb stay with 32 bit os . if you change all the ram sticks the recommended ram for a game pc is 6 gb and you must change to a 64 bit os because it handles very well the memory leaks from games

Terrible FPS Drops Since August 13th Patch

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Reborn.2934

Reborn.2934

I’ve been running the game fairly comfortably on medium settings for the last 11 months, but, since the last patch (Aug 13th), I’m getting really awful FPS drops during regular play. Running around in an unpopulated zone (such as Bloodtide Coast), the FPS counter on the options menu is pinging wildly between my usual ~60 fps and about 10-20 FPS. In the Crown Pavilion, I’m getting 10 FPS on average and dipping as low as 1 FPS. I didn’t have any problems of this sort until a few days ago – performance was quite serviceable in the Pavilion zergs and I had only the occasional frame drop during the Gauntlet. Turning my settings down to minimum boosts my FPS by a tiny amount, but the massive 30+ drops still occur with regularity.

This problem seems to be isolated to GW2 – I’ve tried a few other games (including GW1), and I’m not getting any sort of frame drops. In GW2, I can’t go 10 seconds without having a problem. I’ve tried a few things on my end – updated my NVidia drivers, rolled back some Windows updates that coincided with the start of my performance issues, and ran a disk check to make sure my hard drive wasn’t failing – but nothing seems to have helped.

Is anyone else having similar problems? Sadly, this has made the Queen’s Gauntlet more or less unplayable for me, amongst other pieces of content. I hope a solution can be found.

if you want to take help you must post your dxdiag file or any crah log that maybe you have in your gw2 ’s folder.

how to take the dxdiag file : press windows key + R and then type there dxdiag . after this it will open a window and choose yes in the dialog . when it stops collecting data you can save these informations in a text file by pressing the down right button that says [Save all Informations]

then you post here the file to see what are your pc specs and what are the best options for this

Running gw2 on the 2013 macbook air

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Reborn.2934

Reborn.2934

http://www.apple.com/macbook-air/specs.html

I’d be getting the 256GB flash storage with the 13" screen. I’m trying to decide if I should upgrade from 1.3GHz intel i5 to 1.7GHz intel i7, and/or if I should upgrade from 4GB ram to 8GB ram.

first i suggest to read this thread of another player that bought the sam macbook air here : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/mac/New-MBAir-2013-performance-Mac-Client/2204404

personal ,i would never buy this laptop for the game. it uses the intel hd 5000 as video card that uses ram from the 4 gb system’s ram ( if you put 8 gb ram you will have better results because it plays better in windows with bootcamp , so u need at least the 256 gb ssd for the partition ).

the problem with macbook air is that there is no option for a dedicated video card as there is an option for the macbook pro that have dual vga ( inte and nvidia ) and it costs the same .

the minimum requirements for mac ( you can see them in the download page in your account ) are these :
Mac Beta Minimum System Requirements

Mac OS®X 10.7.X or later
Intel® Core™ i5 or better
4 GB Ram or better
NVIDIA® GeForce® 320M, ATI Radeon™ HD 6630M, Intel HD 3000 or better
25 GB available HDD space
Broadband Internet connection
Keyboard and mouse/equivalent

so better the macbook pro ( special for www and large scale pve events like the last update ) with i5 cpu and nvidia 650 as dedicated vga than the macbook air with i7 and intel 5000 as onboard vga . their costa are the same as you can see here http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/

but overall of these i think you are going to pickup the air just because of the design that the macbook pro not have . if you want stick with apple just dont buy the air only the pro else you can find cheaper laptops with better specs for the game from other brands like dell that gives i7 with 650m at 1049 $

Will I have to revert and make do without an un-updated graphics card, or buy a new one, or is there a fix for this?

revert to the last good intel drivers / updated drivers are not always improve the experience in all games.

Few months ago i bought a new PC, here are the specs:

CPU: AMD X4 FX-4300 3.8GHz AM3+
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990xa-UD3 AM3+
RAM: KINGSTON HyperX DDR3 1600Mhz 8GB x 4 (32GB in total)
GPU: GIGABYTE AMD HD7950 3GB DDR5 384bit
HDD: SSD Samsung drive 120GB

After installing Windows 7 64bit Home Edition and drivers, I took Guild Wars 2 for a spin. Right away I noticed some stuttering when camera was rotated, along with huge fps drops on bigger events and wvw (sometimes even around 5fps). I was using an old LCD Monitor then (1024×768 resolution).

A friend that I was playing with had an older PC, with similar specs but half a year older or so. I remember his GPU was AMD HD 78xx. He was running the game at 1920×1080 resolution with highest details and his fps never dropped under 30, and 100fps+ while standing idle, at the same time my character was standing next to his, facing the same direction, running 30-50fps at 1024×768 resolution! Something was terribly wrong there.

Since then I’ve:
- Bought a new monitor with a 1920×1080 resolution, since the old one wasn’t using a HDMI cable and i thought that might be the issue
- Tried using Windows 7 Professional (since Home doesn’t support more than 16gb of ram)
- Tried pretty much all drivers I could find, old and new, beta versions too
- Reinstalled Windows numerous times

After a month or so, I just gave up.

But recently, after the new Gauntlet Arenas were added, I got really interested in them. Problem was, whenever I went up to the balcony where arenas were located, my fps dropped to 25fps when being idle, 5-10fps when fighting in the arena. So i’ve turned everything down to low in the graphic options, and even then I’ve had a maximum 20fps while fighting!

I began investigating the problem again, with no luck.
I can run the game in a small window or full screen, doesn’t matter, fps will remain the same.

I don’t know if this is relevant, but in the AMD Catalyst Control Center, in the Graphics OverDrive Section I’ve noticed you can set the clock for GPU and memory. By default it was set to 1000MHz for GPU and 1250MHz for memory. Out of curiosity I set the GPU and memory clocks to the lowest settings (300MHz/150MHz). When I ran Guild Wars 2, I was surprised to see the same fps, no change at all. If i crippled my GPU and Memory like that, shouldn’t my fps drop at least a little bit? Also if I were to believe the activity clock in the control center, it seems the GPU isn’t used in 100%…

Here are some screen shots:

If anyone has any ideas, please help. Thanks in advance.

in bold is the key of your problem . the game;s engine is dx 9 optimized show give a try to play the game in xp sp3 compatibility mode ( right click on the gw2 shortcut and choose under the compatibility tab the xp sp3 option ) and post here if you continue have fps problems

Hello AGladian :p

we need more infos from your pc to find the problem . run the dxdiag command in run ( windows key + R and type there dxdiag ) and save all the infos with the button next to close in the down right corner of the dxdiag window

You think that you will have two AUDIO devices and everything will be fine ?

go to bios and disable the onboard audio and use only the asus pci audio device mate . the game opens many handlers for audio and as you can see in my post the onboard audio device “steal” cpu power https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/7-years-old-PC-without-LAG-in-WWW-1080p/first#post2643522 and the audio is the “guilty” for the lag spikes in game

or at least choose the asus from the options in the sound ( by default the gaem is using the default and propably it is using your onboard audio – aka realtek and not the pci aka asus xonar )

Well see thing is as I said the cpu usage is still low overall. The game is using my xonar card not the realtek both by selection and by well, the obvious part where it wouldn’t be outputting to my speakers or my front port jack (headphones)
I will disable it in the bios on the off-chance that it does something however I actually use the realtek outputs for my voip channel handling so I can record things separately without visualizing a card.

Hmmm I really do think arenanet should be a tad worried about EQnext, they won’t loose their pvp crowd to it but given that it is free and has interesting solutions to problems they face. Even if it only does a quarter of what it aims to do, no amount of “you can come back at any time” will make people want to come back.

This said they are improving with the last couple of updates, I just think the base game needs a bit of a polish. I mean does anyone else remember that before launch they were saying it would ship with dx10.1 support (which would have meant better performance on newer cards and much improved lighting, shadow and shader support if handled correctly) and then it was said that it would be added later and now it is nearly a year later than that.
Time will tell, I got a lot out of this game already time wise even with months and months of hiatus but I hope that it can find it’s ultimate ground before something bigger comes along.

ok you have a point , but since the game has an dx9 based engine ( and i think not optimized for dx10,11) give a shoot and run it in xp sp3 compatibility mode the game ( right click on the gw2 shortcut and choose under the compatibility tab the xp sp3 option ) and post here if you continue have problem
