Hai.
I can connect to the char selection screen fine [although it takes quite a while for the box saying 'connecting to arena net' to load/connect] Then once I try to connect to a town/RA it just goes to the loading screen and sticks to 0%, I have actually been having some lag problems today, which is unusual for me.
Anyone else having any problems connecting?
Thanks. Peace.
Unable to connect to any town?

Lag earlier, DCed mid-quest about 3/4 hour ago, been unable to get past character select screen since due to Err5. Europe, UK. Glad it's not just me.

Hmm. Prolly get some flame for this..but possibly something to do with the update tomorrow?

I read somewhere that Anet was going to announce the update before going live, so it probably won't happen for a couple weeks. Some people were thinking the update would coincide with 4th birthday.......

Hmm. Not really getting this :S. If it was the ISP then wouldn't it not be connecting to the server at all? However it's making it to the char selection screen..so it can't be the ISP blocking any ports/IPs right?
Maybe i'm talking aload of garbage :P

I cannot enter the European districts or my Guild Hall.
I suspect the problem is only with the European districts, but I don't know if it's only affecting people with BT.

connection to the authentication server seems fine. but the content servers are unreachable! :-(

You should be able to connect to non-European districts. Unfortunatly, if you've left your characters in your Guild Hall or on European districts, you can't access them.

Yeah, send in a ticket. I've had this happen once or twice, but it was just with 1 char who couldn't load in. They fixed it very fast. Hopefully that's all it will take.

Woehero Nakashima
i've actually got a reply from Guildwars Support, apparently i was to update my gfx card (software wise despite it should of been up to date ¬.¬) then after that im to do a reinstall, and tbh your not the only 1 who didnt want to do a reinstall but if it means i can play then why not.
Xenomortis
How the hell could that possibly help?
If that works, I will find a hat so I can eat it.

Then I would like you to try disabling all startup items to make sure that no background programs or processes are causing this problem. To do this, please perform the following: 1. Press and hold the Windows key and then hit the R key. This should bring up the Run dialogue box. 2. Type MSCONFIG and click OK. This should open the System Configuration Utility. . 3. On the General tab switch to Selective Startup and un-check the box for Load Startup Items. 4. Next click on the Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services, then click on Disable All. 5. Once that is done, clicking either OK or Apply should prompt you to restart your computer, which you should do before attempting to play the game again |

Hey guys just managed to get in 
Spinny
Ehhh seriously, what they're telling you is nothing more than a waste of time. How on earth can a video card give you an err5?!
EDIT: Me to

Curious as to what caused it, but it appears to have been fixed.
Woehero Nakashima

Spinny
LOL. Seems like your install might have solved all our problems :P
EDIT: Back on but getting pings of 20k and getting d/c'd

Suddenly, everyone I know who's with BT can connect again - me too, albeit very slowly.
>>Lagging and disconnects aplenty. Hopefully it's a sign that they're working on it, though...
