Game crashed mid match, Relog required an authentication code.

Title sums it up. Only I had to the same thing to log in here only my game would not connect.

@"Toll Booth Willie.6723" If you needed an authentication code, then your router lost its connection to the Internet for a moment(1) and got a new IP address when it reconnected. And further, that new IP address was one you hadn't had before, so the GW2 login servers didn't know it was still you.

 

And of course "my game would not connect" is a prime indication that your router lost, even for a moment, its connection to the Internet.

 

(1) Or maybe your ISP decided unilaterally to force the router to have a new one.

That makes sense. The nets here do drop from time to time. That would also explain why i showed me the diff ip's ive used to play, mine here and my buddies place where i have logged on a time or two as well.

 

*Talked to my roommate today and he said he had to re-verify as well when he logged on.
