Somthing wont let me play!

I noticed that after 15 days-30 days of playing guild wars suddenly when i click on game icon and wat for window to load,i stop seeing update window and i cannot logg in (it says connecting...and nothing)

This problem occured me around 5 times and i had to DELETE guild wars (reinstallation didnt work) and install it again in order to work

1.Guild Wars Support couldnt help me at all,they told me its driver problem,but if it is driver problem is it possible that i can play after i delete/install game again???

My internet connection is broadband and its not connection problem at all i tried using diffrent connections and i turned off firewall

I will attach my computer dx diagnostic (run option and i type dxdiag in and i get my computer results) in case you want to see my computer software

Is -image in your shortcut command that you use to start the game? If so, the game will never load up for playing.

what image inside shortcut are u talking about?

my shortcut is allright and i tested this from game folders

btw,if any 1 got idea or clue...post ur oppinions on this

just to say another thing

When i start guild wars right window - news/updated does not appear...which is odd..and it happends always when i cannot logg in so according to that i know a terrable thing has happend

Comprehensible English would be useful!

Try restarting your router..had the same problem this morning, simple restart fixed it.

as i said i alredy tried everything with connection including restarting my router

Who is your ISP/ Have you contacted them?

Just because your connection is fine, doesnt mean they arent blocking access to GW. If you used it a fair bit during the first 15 days as you say, Its possible that they saw this as a breach of contract and blocked your access to it. Cant hurt to ask them.

The Guild Wars Client will tell you if it can't access the game server. I suggest you double check the shortcut you may be using to start the game, because it certainly sounds like you have "-image" in the command line.

As i said i tried totally diffrent ISP and contacted diffrent ones....and my shortcut seems allright i see image and everything on

try doing a disk cleanup and de-frag just incase.


if you can, try doing a system restore to an earlier date, maybe a couple of weeks before it stopped working.

You see -image in your command line?

Did you mean that or did you mistype?

If you have -image in your command line you can't load the game.
Never. Won't happen. Period.

If your shortcut looks like that: "C:\Program Files\GUILD WARS\Gw.exe" -image, remove the -image and your problem will be fixed. -image downloads everything there is to download and then closes the game automatically.

Yes, please double-check and let us know!

I am not home now and cannot check or do anything but soon i hope i will be
and i will make a new post to make u all shure what happend

This problem seemed more serious to me and drivers can be included,you never know

What i did is i called technical help to come to my home and fix this annoying thing however they can,and to reply to kuldebar...i think i understood what u tried to say me,and there was no -image as i can remember,if i re - check and find it i will rename it but i doubt it has to do with it when game actually LOADED just 1 part was missing (right side of window where game news display)...btw i was running game from game folder anyway

After computer proffesional give me advice or solve this problem i will probably tell u by posting here as i said,if i remember this post and if it happens any soon......

right side of window where game news display? I guess my client is broken too... and always has been. I have yet to see game news displayed in my game window... or am I misunderstanding something here?

Try disabling your firewall (if you have one on) see if anything changes that.

Does it stay at 0% or does it say it cant connect ?

If it hangs at 0% ( and you can browse the internet just fine ) then likely you have a NAT firewall/security issue and the admin of your connection may have blocked GW. It will also occasionally do this if you have "-image" in the shortcut properties.

What ISP do you have ? Make sure its not on this list: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs

While that list is for ISP's that block Bit torrent, Bad ISP's who partake in dishonesty in one area tend to do so in others as well. I wouldnt put it past them to also attempt to snuff anything else that puts stress on their bandwidth.

One good way to tell if your ISP is dishonest is to call their tech support number and ask them what the maximum amount of bandwidth you are allowed to use in a month ( Most ISP's have a hidden max you can download in a certain amount of time to prevent overload. This is ussually 3Gb per day or 60Gb per month ) If they tell you, great. If they respond with some half assed excuse like "Thats proprietary information" and try to shoo you off the phone, then you likely have a bad ISP.
