Disconnects, ruining the game.

[Felix.9681]

Hey guys, I keep getting intermittent disconnects and the most frustrating thing is they mostly happen during quests! Sometimes right before I finish! Making me have to do quests several times, I'm about to try for the third time to get through Victory or Death. The message I get is as below:

"The game client lost its connection to the server. Please wait a few minutes before restarting the client and trying again. (Code=7.11.3.202.101)"

 

Hoping I can get some advice to help with this, I'm on an Alienware Aurora R7 W10 gaming PC with 200mbps Ethernet cabled internet, I've made sure that the game is an exception/allowed app on the firewall settings, not sure what else to do! I have norton but I can't find any setting on that blocking anything.

[LadyTrouble.6920]

I have been getting disconnected in Sirens Landing (several times) and Malchors Leap (once) . I get the same message. Whatever I have been farming in Orr gets reset too, so looks like I lose progress too.

sucks for you

 

what you can do is constantly pressing 1. i heard from qite alot of players who have this dc's in instanced content that it allways happen wgen they are "idle" if they are attacking it doesn't happen

 

so it's worth a try

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it's not happening when Idle :-/

I've just got disconnected 2 times in the same place/scenario, did restart the game between didsconnectes, but after getting all three cores and going back to the little camp in Victory or Death it's disconnected me there twice, before that it disconnected me after I disconnected the Mouth. Very frustrating. Just checked more in depth on my Norton settings also and Guild Wars 2 is set to allow through so not sure what else I can do :-/

[Dracannia.1645]

I've been disconnecting in Bloodstone Fen, trying to get a character through LW3. :/ I would be doing something, get booted, then end up in a spot where I was two minutes prior. I'm hesitant to go into a story instance because I feel like I'll disconnect halfway through it.

[Maximum Ride.9523]

I've just been disconnected 3 times in a row playing through LW3 (got it yesterday). Everything was fine an hour ago, now it's virtually unplayable.

[edit: I'm on EU-underworld if that makes a difference]

[GODh.3892]

I keep crashing too, with the same error :/

[ruikarikun.9402]

Same here.

[Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265]

Thrown out twice trying to explore Queensdale on my new character - got kicked back to DR each time and lost my progress (waypoints etc).

 

Bad enough they gave us a patch with no content, without it being completed bugged as well! :angry:

[muerte.3842]

There are trolls on WVW right now constant crashing the maps deliberately, this is impossible right now to play... This is a joke...

[HomicidalBiscuit.6859]

It doesn't matter what map I am on or what I'm doing/not doing. I have been getting booted and rolled back all morning/day.

@"Felix.9681" It is not your Norton. I use it as well. I played before and after the patch came live and had no issues whatsoever with dc's. After I had logged off, I started to read reports of server crashes in all maps in game caused by text and item links that make whole maps crash and traits and items that make you crash as well. And ofcourse trolls will use these things to check if it really does (and same for players who don't believe it and try and thereby crash a whole map). I just logged in to Malchors Leap (tree harvest spot, and with the 3 players around there nobody seemed to crash (I logged with warrior and guardian.. Did kill a mob but I didn't touch items or traits). EU server, Underworld (altho theres a megaserver). Keep in mind its 0.50 AM on a work day where I am atm so most people went sleep here (incl trolls). If there were more players online it would have been very possible I have seen that dc as well.

 

So what I advice you to do is leave all your current settings untouched and wait for Anet to fix the items that crash the servers. I am almost certain you will have no issue with your story once those bugs, introduced with the latest patch, are fixed.

[Hesione.9412]

I'm getting them now too, along with the guild I am in. We crashed in Timberline, after Teq reset. We now all crashed in the daily strike mission.

 

Now crashed a second time in the strike mission, just after the green breakbar skill came up. But I managed to use it the first time, so don't know if this crash is related to that.

[Tazzer.8035]

This has been going on since the patch this morning, and seems to be getting more frequent and more common with everyone as the day progresses. Would be great to hear from A-Net that they know it's going on and are working toward a solution! Can't even complete daily farming due to dc and then a reset of the quest.

[Coelho Nat.4697]

The dc happens every 15 min or so and rolls back any progression in the last few seconds.

It is happening to everybody according to map chat. Many players lost events like Tequatl or Chack Gerent due to this problem.

[Tazzer.8035]

Since my last post, approximately 6 mins ago, I have been at 90% completion of daily only to dc and reset counter 4 times. This is way more than every 15 mins. Mass people dropping from the sky repeatedly in any Orr map right now. Done trying to play for today at least. Really bad since we wanted to play for the new tokens. Oh well.

[MineJockey.7128]

I keep going to do the Orr Miner daily but I get booted halfway through mining a single node.

[MineJockey.7128]

Scratch that, now I get disconnected after being in Malchor's Leap for around 3-5 seconds.

[MineJockey.7128]

And now it crashed before it finished loading :/

Really hoping this gets fixed soon.

[YtseJam.9784]

constant disconnects in Malchor's Leap and Siren's Landing... cant do my Daily Orr Miner :( and yeah when I log back, we get put underneath the map in Malchor's Leap

[killerkram.5129]

I was getting crashes trying to get to Malchor's Leap. Then I went to Lion's Arch to ask around but got disconnected there too. rip dailies today. I'll try again tomorrow

Thanks for the advice and information :) Seeing all the response is heartening as it lets us know it's not just us it's happening to haha.

[Aaralyna.3104]

Seeing they had a patch to fix and a fast read over other posts the issue seems fixed. For the ones that had issues in mining locations, a gathering glyph or 2 was one of the reasons a whole map would crash when someone used it. There were more things that either caused individual crashes or mapwide ones (as in you use something and with that crash whole map) but well I don't wanna risk a forum ban when telling all that would crash things. Can be found on reddit tho.
