Nova.6084 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 On 2/22/2023 at 8:26 PM, sunrun.4521 said: it feels pointless contacting support about this because the last time I tried that nothing seemed to happen - they just blame it on your ISP even though it's clearly affecting a large player base in multiple countries and multiple ISPs. That's what I was told as well. I read on reddit that the reason it even got better for a couple days was because someone at AWS fixed the routing that caused the spikes. For some reason the ping is absolutely unaplaybale again. Back then it would only happen once in a few months but now it's every other week for us SEA/OCE folks. If I'm gonna be honest I don't think there's anything Anet can do on their end either so we are kinda stuck in this situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarzAttakz.9608 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Last 3 days for an hour or more between 10pm and 11pm GMT+2 WvW has been spiking from a fairly stable 180 to 4500-6000. Exitlag makes no difference, ExpressVPN makes no difference, no VPN makes no difference. A few other players (minority) stating the same in map chat. Simply have to log out and hope for the best because it's unplayable.

Khalgir.3862 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 NA. I had never had an issue with ping in GW2 till a few days ago. It just goes from 70 to 200 out of nowhere, especially when I play WvW. It seems that fractals also cause ping spikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest sake, how does 200 feel for you compared to 70? 200 is my average and I've always wanted to ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I start having delays above 200, so it feels way better. High ping affects mostly fast-paced classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenan.5682 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Mine started just a week ago or so. The game is okay during the day but gets extremely laggy at night. Ping shoots up to 500 - 700ms. My stable is at 220 - 230. It only happens with GW2. I'm in Asia, Ph to be exact.

Mellanir.9716 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Well, I am from Brazil and I am having the same problem. The issue is with amazonaws. If you use pingplotter and test the ip you're connected you'll see. And it doesn't matter if its ANET or Amazon problem. I bought the game from Anet and they used amazon server. So they need to contact amazon and ask them to figure out wtf is going on. Since last patch the game is simply unplayable for me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KEvIL.8230 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Any updates from ANet on this? I recently came back to the game and have been plagued with this issue. Can't enjoy WvW anymore. GW2 takes up 62 gigs of data on my PC. I'd rather have something else instead if this issue is not going to be resolved. Just need to hear the word of someone from support whether they are looking into a fix for this since this has been an issue for more than a month now with 0 communication. FeelsBadMan its not letting me play the game. Playing from India on EU servers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolgoXIII.8536 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I haven't been playing for the first part of the week and I got on today to do a few things. My ping is usually a steady 225. It is so bad for me I am getting timed out of the game this is way beyond accecptible for what is going on if this has been like this the past week I am eternally grateful that I haven't been playing.

Dahakere.4719 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Central Europe here (Czech Republic) . I had the same problems all of a sudden about a week ago. Up until then I had been playing fine since the game's release on Steam. During the day everything works fine and in the evening the game is almost unplayable. I try solved it via Ticket with the Anet people and we came to the conclusion that I have lost packets and I should contact my internet provider. So I did and he told me there was no problem with them. Next, I tried turning the game on with the Command line argument -clientport 80 and that seemed to solve the problems. However, after 2 days the game is now unplayable again. Has anyone come up with a workable solution or is this really a problem on ANET's side and their support just played me fool for 2 days? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackir.8906 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hello. Im from Czech too, other online games run fine, but gw2. Yesterday i was lucky and was back at ~25ms ping. Today back at 3 - 5 s lag spikes. I tried different ports, checking cables, reinstalled game, updated drivers, completely removed Xbox Gamebar, checked for overheating, running with vsync. Still having unstable connection with server. "pathping" the GW2 -diag came out fine lost 1 in 50 packets with <20ms RTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriens.5630 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I kept wondering what was happening when firing pistols. There's been this noticeable delay in taking an action and seeing the result or even hearing it. This is all in NA Open World play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahakere.4719 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I try to communicate with tech support all the time and try to give them some kind of polite hint that there is probably a problem with their servers (Amazon I know), because it happens to a lot of people who have nothing to do with each other and only at certain times of the day. So I've already changed DNS, pestered my ISP, changed router settings, ran about 6 different tests with different programs and changed ports. They keep trying to tell me over and over that the problem is on my side, even according to their words that the problem could be that I have Windows 11 and that according to their words is not a supported system. I have tried probably all the solutions I found on the internet at various times from 2015 until today. The only 2 working solutions seem to be these: 1) Pay for a VPN and play through it. Which can cause an account BAN, as I've read, and still doesn't guarantee to fix the problem. Paying for an external service to play a game I've already put money into seems pretty nuts to me. 2) I found probably the best solution to these problems on Reddit in a 3 month old post. Stop playing this game.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
