Cant go pass loading screen?? :(

Hi all,

I have a problem with GW since 2 days ago. I cant get pass the loading screen!

To make sure, loading screen I was referring to is, the first screen you get after you choose your character when you started the game. It always goes from 0% to 100% like usuall, but then, it stopped there.. nothing happened. I tried yesterday to just waiting because maybe it is SUDDENTLY become longer, .... , then after 20 mins, still no response

Today, I done like 60+ trial entering and closing the program. couple time, I can get through but then I am stuck, not moving then I decided to press and hold left click to make the network keep asking for response and they threw me err7..

I know until this point you maybe think this have something to do with my ISP. But I don't think it is, because:

1. All other internet activity of mine, are doing fine. MSN, general internet, and even tried Xbox 360's connection and all is normal.

2. I tried to download like usuall, wondering how many kbps I could get, and to my surprise, it is still at 30~35 kbps (yeah its slow for some of you >_>) which is decent.

Weird thing is, everything from log in screen until character select (and I even try to enter store), all normal, fast and everything...but only when enter the load screen.. omg..


So everyone, what can I do? help plz

PS: mods, if this is the wrong forum section, please kindly remove it

Did you try to restart your computer?

Now that I think about it, I usually hibernate my laptop, because the booting up took so long.

But yes I have restarted because I just downloaded Avast free anti virus.

>_<

Bump, need reply please

Try a program called Contig(I think it is). Theres a link in the Stickys somewhere, itll defrag your GW.dat file. READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY! Try that first.

Thanks Gorebrex but I tried do exactly as it says.. but I always stuck at 3055 fragments..

I scroll through the thread and I read someone also have same problem (stay the same command after com mand) and I tried like he/she did, clear some space and all that.. but... still no result

i had the sam e problem little over a month ago and it turned out some of my software had expired and i had to get my sister's computer geek boyfreind to fix it, he downloaded a few things to re-instate the software and now my computer works again....P.S i also had hte same problem with it getting stuck at 3055fragments....not shore why either

well i hope this is enough to help

Hmm.. Thanks Gloria. I tried to do automatic update for windows, that took me around 2 hours to download it all.. but.. stll cant

Anyone have any other opinion?

I was thinking maybe it's GW server towards mine.. but that didnt explain the past 4 months I've been using the same connection with no problem :0

Thanks for the replies so far

tsk.. sorry double post.. lag D:

I had the same problem some time ago. Try to uninstall all mods you have installed (for example the UT soundmod), if that doesn't work try setting your pc date/time.

MOD? hmm what kind of mods? :0 I never recall ever download any mod.. hmm.. gotta search again though xD

oh this I never heard before, setting pc date and time to the correct date and time? (which I think {maybe} already is) or set it into some other time zone?

Thanks! looking forward for your explanation

This takes some more time, but you could also delete your GW folder (maybe save the screenies/templates if you like. Then redownload all of it.

As I said, it takes a while but it might be the quickest solution for the moment.

No, its not just autpmatic updates, but also check ur video card is NOT VGA compatible, but is acctually running the program and not just being compatible, i cant really explain what my sisters boyfreind did but he explained why i had the problems to begn with, and the main problem was running the VGA card in the propper softwear, where as before it was only compatible.


P.S. its not the GW server

Oh btw.. forgot to mention.. my dial up is working fine.. so its my ISP for the DSL? but everything other than GW is working as they should..

Contacted support, still no solution.. they ask left and right I provided they ask to do this and that again.. -__-;

anyone also experiencing this? or I am all alone in this type of misery? :0

Tsk sorry, didnt mean to double post.. lag >_<

Thanks Gloria.

I think my Graphic card is fine, it is COULD be one of the servers.. either NCSOFT or my ISP's

well i posted how to fix it but its not showing and it says i already posted it

NvM lagging real bad

No you're not alone. Ever since the infamous Rit Spiker rebalancing update two weeks ago, I haven't been able to connect to anet's server at all.

Loading the game client? Forget about it. My client download alternates between "connecting to arenanet" and "downloading 0%, 0 kb/s".

For a brief time last week, I actually could log in but couldn't zone. All of my toons were pretty much trapped where they were since I couldn't get past any loading/downloading screens.

I know I'm no help, but just letting you know you're not the only one. Moral support, I guess.

Thank you T_T (well, not that I am relief that you are also experiencing this, but merely because I am not alone :0 )

This is not good

One of the reason I ordered pre-order GW:EN is for this weekend :0

Hmm. For what it's worth, I just hit a slight breakthrough.

My gaming desktop still cannot connect consistently to anet's download server.

But I just decided to download the GW client on my laptop as a test... and it's downloading with a solid connection to the server.

So for the last week and a half, I've been blaming my ISP and working their tech support to the bone... but I think it might actually be my NIC settings, drivers or even just the NIC itself failing.

If I ever figure out what it is, I'll post here. Maybe it'll give you an idea or two.

I have the same problem. Sometimes I get stuck on the loading screen at 100% for several minutes, and sometimes I get a "007" after a while.

When I finally get into the game, I sometimes have serious lag, like 500+ ping.

Has anyone figured this out?

I am having the same problem and I know its not my computer or my internet cause ive been useing it for the past 2 years and it is the same exact thing on my laptop.

I am about to just delete and redownload the game again and try it that way.

P.S. this just started 2 days ago for me and with gwen comin i want it solved so i may be goin drastic

Knight Thork,

Thats exactly like you describe!!

But if u say 500 ping is bad.. mine is 3kish after able to go in.. >_>

I've had this problem for ages (since NF came out, I believe), but nowhere near as severe as you describe. If my screen sticks in Loading for longer than a minute I just restart GW and try again...

It's the most frustrating when I'm PvPing, as the battle can be over by the time the 100% Loading bothers to change to gameplay.

*sigh*

Wish I could help you. :/

@knight thork: Thats your internet. If you are on wireless connection, your connection may be bad.

@OP: Try downloading the latest up-to-date video drivers for your video card. If that doesn't help at all, try disabling your firewall temporarily and then try again.

I had this problem also, I just quit playing for about 2 months though. I returned, and I still had it. So, I went to Anet and asked them and they directed me to new drivers.
