Nokomis.5076 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 As stated from Silver: "There is a second address — 9.9.9.10 — but this doesn’t have a blocklist or other security features." I had problems once when I used 9.9.9.9, because somehow ANet was blocked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haleydawn.3764 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Workaround! Not a fix! ISPs unblocking the sites is the fix. Anet has to work with ISPs involved for this to be fixed. If something people do sacrifices their internet security (like disabling ISP web protections), they must use other methods to protect themselves! #Justsaying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet need to sort it out properly, we shouldn't have to find our own ways to make the game run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherBelial.3094 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Just to let people know, with is a work around not a fix, you can end up with a slower connection, and changing your DNS may stop other applications from working as they should. So remember to change it back once you are done playing GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny.6185 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Google DNS isn't very practical for Oceanic players. It slows things down considerably. I'm getting a series of issues connecting to the login server today. I'll try to find a 'local equivalent' DNS through trial and error, but I don't have a lot of patience for these sorts of issues...

I'm Australia based and implemented this temp fix yesterday and my game speed is notably faster...loading times are reduced and just a better, faster experience for me. I love it.

Celldrax.2849 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I got this to work when I tick the validate box. It's touchy though. Doesn't always log in, and don't have access to some things like gem store and TP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GW2 is open, close it. Open the run dialog by pressing WindowsKey+R and open: cmd A command prompt should pop up. Enter the following command, which will clear your DNS cache: ipconfig /flushdns Press WindowsKey+R again and open: %temp% The temp folder should pop up. Delete every folder beginning with gw2cache. It's possible for the trading post to actually cache an error page, preventing it from loading. If the trading post _still_ doesn't work, ensure that your antivirus, firewall or any other web filtering software you may have isn't blocking it. G DATA and FortiClient for example are also blocking it. You can try visiting the trading post in your browser to see if shows any messages - usually security software will show a warning page. https://tradingpost-dfw-live.ncplatform.net/humans.txt and https://tradingpost-live.ncplatform.net/humans.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
