Sometimes when i change districts or map to a different town then the one im already in. i get disconected from the game and it says my to check my conection.. but my conection is fine.. this all started after i recently did a disk cleanup and defragmentation.

this game is getting really gay with all the lag and connection issues.. if anyone has any sugestions on how to fix this please help me out

Same thing is happening to me. It has never happened except for today, 3 times in a row, so I just got off. Recently I have noted extreme lag in areas, and it is pissing me off. If this lag continues I might not buy Factions, because if Factions has anything near the amount of lag and disconnects that Guild Wars does, it will ruin the experience for me.

at this moment, i can go anywhere except amnoon oasis which hangs at loading and eventually error 005. Any characters already there will not load and get the same error.

I can't go anywhere with one account... haven't tried the other account. This sucks. Ah well, just means I'll have to read some.

**UPDATE**

My other account is fine. I guess it's just too full of pwn to be bothered by some simple err=5.

I just started having trouble, as well.

I was in Deldrimer War Camp on my Warrior and my connection got interrupted. Now when I try to log in with my warrior it freezes at the "War Camp Loading" Screen and I get an error.

Wow...how odd.....and frustrating...

Warrior: Stays at the "Deldrimer War Camp" loading screen, then I get an error.

Ele: Stays at the "Grotto" loading screen, then I get an error.

Ranger: Loads Ventari's Refuge just fine, but when I try to map somewhere else, I get an error...

Hmm...

Well I feel stupid now. I checked my firewall's logs, and found that for some reason it started blocking all GuildWars.exe activity. Heh, live and learn I guess.



*EDIT*

Nevermind, even after fixing the firewall issue, I STILL can't log in or change maps...

Not able to leave/enter any district but HA D3 - this is getting annoying quickly as D3 is not booming with life often

I've been getting the same problems, and it starts up totally randomly. I've tried restarting my computer, even my network and it still is on & off. It's definately something on the Guild Wars side. If this continues, I'm not going to continue playing. I almost don't want to buy/add the expansion if this is how it will be, it's too frustrating.

I think this is happening to far too many people in the same day for this to be the fault of any single person or his/her computer. I am willing to bet that A-net is scewing with the servers again, and there is not much we can do about it but wait.

With that said, I'm not even able to log in anymore. Anet ftl

The fact that so many people suddenly started having the same exact problem at the same time makes it kinda tough to believe that it is the person's computer at fault. If it were just a single person with the problem then yeah, I would say to make sure to go through those steps. But seeing how many people started having the problem at the same time... well, it would be one heck of a coincidence that all the peoples' computers decided to screw up the same way at the exact same time, lol.

I manage to run the table with the crap... Sometimes I get stuck on the loading screen at 100%, majority of the time I get to the outpost/town/whatever and I lag to hell and I cant do anything... Sometimes I make it to the town but if I try to zone -anywhere- I Code=7. And then there are the times when I can actually make it out to a map and play for a few min then the lag engulfs me.

It's been doing this around the time of Easter that I've noticed... Around the same time there was a rather large storm that rolled through here knocking out our power, so I have no idea if it's my net here or ANet's problem... But seeing everyone else having the same problems I'm having, I'm starting to lean to the ANet's fault.

That is not the point The point is to keep reporting it to the right people instead of posting it in a forum which presents no diagnostic information on the potential cause of the problem. The net tool is not designed to specifically check your computer, but rather the route to the servers you are connecting to. Who knows it might only be a specific data center having problems, that is what the net tool helps identify. As it stands im still not having problems logging in or playing, which suggest its the particular datacenter you guys are getting routed to, or either that Im just a lucky goose.

Ah, alright...I see. I thought you were basically saying that the problem was with all our computers. My apologies.

I emailed support this morning, and the reply I got was basically "Try again, users are reporting that this problem is now resolved". So I tried logging in again, and to my suprise, I connected with no problem. o_o

So yeah, don't know what the heck was wrong, but for me, it's resolved now.

The new update doesnt help matters at all either. -_-
