Lag Issues And Error 7's

I haven't been on since before the weekend. I just came on today and HFS! I can't believe the lag spikes and the disconnects. I probably won't be able to even play until it is fixed.
And no it isn't just the east coast, unless you are referring to the east coast of AUSTRALIA!
I'm on the European servers as well.
This definitely needs to be fixed. Don't be like Sony please. Just let us know you are looking into the issue and most of us will be happy.

Actually, I have several accounts here connecting at the same time and that is not causing any problems. However I did find that my lag issues are only when I am somewhere in the factions world playing prophcies missions I do not have a problem and nobody in this house does.

I'm sad to report that I'm in the same boat, and have been for a couple of weeks now.
I am effectively prohibited from joining groups with other people, because I am guaranteed to Err=07 before we complete any objective other than killing Shiro. It's a given at this point.

never gotten an er7
but i was in uw with an alliance member playing an SS, i was a 55. we cleared the first room, went to the smites, killed all of them and was working our way to the last couple groups of smites when suddenly he died and i was blocked by 3 smites against a rock. i noticed i started lagging a bit then i broke free from the body block and headed towards a chest in the open. but i was still taking damage from the smites even though they still appeared to be by the same rock they were attacking me at. i made my way to the chest to open it but i got no dialogue while attempting to open it. nothing. i tried several times and still nothing. i ran back to the smites, then back to the chest. still couldnt open it and was still taking dmg. he could also see i was taking damage and no smites were on me. therefore i died and never got in the chest.

Same problem for me -- bad connection the past 5 days or so with lots of err7s.
I live on the east coast of the US and my friend on the west coast does not have this problem. It may be a router somewhere. The only other difference I can think of is that I'm running ZoneAlarm.

Started getting a number of err =7, and the occassional Code = 58 error lately; never got them before. Nothing worse than when you're solo farming, and you're about to kill a boss, then seeing your char freeze, stand there for a minute, then watch yourself get logged out...
wilebill
East coast and midwest seem to be hardest hit, I am in Ohio. Very severe lagout problems, char freezing for extended periods, lots of error 7's.
Today in Fort Aspenwood, many players were experiencing the severe lag and error 7's. But other players were experiencing no lag at all.
This makes me think the problem is not in ANet's internal network but rather an upstream ISP problem. I mean ANet's ISP.

I also lagging out every 30 mins now and Err7ing.
US servers.
My connection is otherwise impeccable and clearly with so many people have the same problem recently it's not a client side issue.
I recently started playing GW since i heard of Nightfall and the only thing i am certain of is i WONT be buying NF untill i am absoloutly certain the poor server network is fixed.
The fact ANet make no public acknowledgment of the problem is pretty sad. If you run a large network where people are having problems you HAVE to be getting as much information to your customers as possible else they dont think it's going to be fixed and go play another game, which i have done on several occasions since the servers are dropping me.
Where a mission lasts 1-2hours and you drop at the very end, ignorance is not an option.

I was trying to Monk Nahpui Quarter last night when my Lag hit. About 5 to 10 min of rubber banding....and no err7 I had to shut guild wars down to get back to a town.....and of course I'm being called a NOOB!!!!
I like to do missions over and over again just to waste 30 min of my time to stop healing and have everyone die.....yep thats what I do...
" Your not lagging, I see you your just running back and forth!!!"
no ------ stupid its called lag.....

I found the support site and sent them an email detailing the problem. I also found the FAQs. One asked if I had a router connected which I do. It recommended running the game without the router.
Since removing the router from the path - NO Lag issues. I am curious as to how many people with lag spikes have a router connected. Try disconnecting it while gaming.

Severe lag, everything freezes for 20+ seconds. Lag subsided to see 3ppl have Err7ed out, rest of my room is dead. Result, party disbanded and restart.

GW was unplayable last night. Every few minutes 2-3 people in the party woudl be disconnected, simultaneously. At one point when we were forming up in Naphui Quarter, six of the eight members of the party were simultaneously disconnected from GW. Several members of the party ran the -diag and it showed that despite living in North America (one person not very far from Anet headquarters) they were being routed through Germany.
The third attempt at NQ when 3 people got simultaneously disco'd we just gave up and logged off GW for the night.

Yeps, also happening to me and my roommate. GW was very peaceful before, everything was running properly and we never errored or lagged out. Now, in about 1 hour, we probably lag and error out about 20 times combined.

Thought the lag problem was gone also. For a whole day i didnt err 7 :O. But In alliance battles like 6 people err7 at the same time yesterday. Sigh.....

Also, this reply is not directed to Cargo at any way, just towards ANET and their ongoing problem with lagging/erroring. I thought they said the server change that they did a while back suppose to help these types of problems?
In any case, is pretty sad when I run into a mob with 10 minions then a lag spike hit and I end up with no minions and having no Golem corpse. Thanks.

If you've just installed a router and then you suddenly have problems, sure it might be your router.
If you've played for a long time with a router and had no problems, have no problems with ANY other MP game and many other people with random configurations are all having Err7 and lag spike problems, it's pretty obvious that something else is wrong here.
I logged off earlier, came back on and within 5 seconds i had a 15 second lag spike.

Archon Calran
I get the err 7 and big lag spikes if i play for too long....i hit the 2 hour mark yesterday and i got disconnected. And sometimes when i get these lag spikes i exit GW and try to come back inbut it takes forever to login, and sometimes it freezes for a while in the charater screen. This is strange. o.O

I disconnected my router to see if it would help. I do not feel this is a fix - my PC is now wide open for attack. Plain and simple this problem is severe BS.

only this week its been acting up

This seems to be getting worse. Last night, I errored 6 times in less than an hour. I got the clue and turned off Guild Wars for the night.
This morning I logged on, left my character idle, and checked back every 15 mins or so. Pretty much every other time I checked, I saw myself kicked back to the login screen, with an error 7 message. It seems to be happening about every half hour now. This is completely unacceptable.

The lag has gotten to a point where i really dont feel like playing. I logged on this morning and went to Ta with some alliance people. A minute into the first match, err7. Log back in, a minute into the next match, another err7. I just dont feel like logging on anymore. The err7 have gotten out of control.

A friend and I were out in the maguuma jungle a couple days ago and we both lagged out for about a minute and a half. We were both talking on ventrillo at the time so we can both confirm that it was a server side connection issue.
Yesterday I was doing the bonus on ice caves with some henchies. I spent the next 5 minutes rubber banding back to the same spot after I started the bonus.

I must be one of the lucky ones that hasn't experienced what many seem to have.
I have only had one err 7 ever and the lag is no where near as bad as some have mentioned.

Noticed this problem last night, I would be running along and then appear back where I've started. After a few minutes of getting "Rubber Banded" like the previous poster said. I would get disconnected as well.
Stolen Souls
LOTS of problems today. Decided to do a few quests I still needed...well, that didn't last long. After 30 minutes....lag spike....err=007. Logged back in. 5 minutes later...lag spike and about 6 minutes of my character spinning in circles, teleporting around, and rubberbanding. Got fed up and closed out.
I highly, highly doubt its a problem on my end, because:
1. I've NEVER had a lag problem (like many that have posted) until very recently.
2. Besides GW, my connection is fine. Download speeds are still great, no trouble with websites.
But then again, I'm no tech, so who knows. *shrug*

Isn't there a tool to help ANET track down Lag issues? Gaile posted it sometime ago.
DL it and submit lag reports to ANET.

Well I already sent one. I think other people that are having the problem should make sure they do, as well.

There is a diagnostic you can run on your system. I attached the copy to my question. I hope to hear something soon, but we will get nothing if only a few people ask. Please post. I found the link at the login window. Simple way to get to a solution -- hopefully! I also gave them the link to this thread. |
God i'd rather work in customer support, isnt it perfect to get paid for saying anything at all w/o reading a Q? on a serious note i guess they're being bombarded by err7-connected tickets, so they're perfectly aware of the problem. would be nice to hear smth from them tho....

Reinstall the FW..nice. So everyone, reinstall your firewall and all lag spikes will be fixed *sarcasm*.
What sucks about this whole lag issue is that your character can be ANYWHERE and doing nothing and it will still spike. I lagged out when I was just standing in the guild hall. There were only 3 people in the hall at the time.

it sure as hell isn't your firewall. i have a list of things it isn't
1)It's not your network if you're on a business or campus network. if you mail them they will say "your ports prolly aren't open" and you will call your network admin and they will say HEY they're open.
2)It's not the firewall, i've went as far as disabling my firewall completely and that helped NONE.
3)It's not your connection. I've tried on 3 or 4 different connections, including a wireless, none of which worked.
4)It's not your GW client. I reinstalled the .dat files, still didn't work.
NCsoft, get your heads out of your butts.

When my ISP is having tech problems all the major support tickets are available to the public on the website, you can just go there and see if there are any reported problems with the network. All problems are updated when fixed or more info is available. Well, that's good service.
Perhaps Anet should consider making single-player games in the future if they can't act like a responsible service provider and keep their customers informed.

i dont really expect anything from NCSoft support. They will most likely send you back here or give you some lame excuse like your connection/firewall/windows/sun radiation.
Whenever I was able to reach alive person, aswers were always by different people and always so random and meaningless... They will do anything just to avoid direct answer like its their life depend on it.
EDIT:
oh yes, Nemon said it right
