If you were using the -assetsrv option to manually choose a server, the IP probably changed. If you weren't, your DNS is probably outdated.To clear your DNS cache, open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and enter:ipconfig /flushdnsYou could also setup Google's DNS:https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/usingIf you want to try the -assetsrv option, use:-assetsrv 54.156.252.61If it still fails, you can verify your connection by opening the following web page:http://assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com... which should be a simple text page with an AssetSrv instance on the bottom. If you can see that, you likely have software on your computer that is blocking GW2 from connecting. If you can't, you're failing to connect to Amazon's server period. Try using a VPN.Good luck.Sadly this doesn't work. I've gone through all of the above steps and still get frequent disconnects from game. It never happens in the open world, dungeons, fractals, or in cities, I only ever get disconnected from the game while in story instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just, roughly 5 minutes ago, got disconnected at the end of a story mission.A quick trace route shows that everything is normal until getting closer to the Anet servers where I start seeing request time-outs returned. It's frustrating but I don't think there's anything that can be done about it, ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee.5348 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Just spent almost 2 hours trying to get the 'Hearts & Mind' story missions done. Disconnected 3 times when the story instance tries to come back after defeating Mordremoth. When it returns to the character it just has a movie reel over its head for a few seconds then disconnects. I have tried the suggestion above - doesn't make a difference. I have also been logged in playing for the better part of 12hrs today and not had a single disconnect. Something is very wrong with the coding in Story missions. Why are there no checkpoints in long story missions? There are in other instances! And why can the game not seem to switch in and out of cut scenes without losing connection? These being long ones that cannot be skipped. Is Arenanet actually aware that this is a BIG problem? Are they doing anything about it? My husband and I are so close to just uninstalling GW2 and forgetting about it and we would have already if it wasn't for the fact that we actually liked the game enough to have spent a fair bit of cash on it.

The old stories don't have them because that would require going back and updating them.Disconnecting in the story exclusively has a variety of causes. For some people, simply switching the port to 80 or 443 fixes it (-clientport 80), or going a step further and using a VPN. Any software involving your network traffic can cause it, some of which is known to cause GW2 to crash while patching. Some routers and adapters can cause it. One case suggested it was a problem caused by the GPU dropping activity during cutscenes, where keeping it active by running something in the background fixed it.

Zee.5348 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I have tried switching clientport to 80, I have tried the hosts file changes, and I have tried the DNS flush and Assetsrv thing. Nothing really seems to help. I shouldn't have to go through a VPN as I have absolutely no network problems outside of GW2 and running 'pingplotter' on the connection shows that there nothing wrong apart from a bit of packet-loss, which appears to be all on Arenanet's end. (Not something I can try to fix and I suspect VPN wouldn't fix that either)The GPU issue is probably the only thing I haven't tried but surely that would fall within Arenanet to fix? I run a 1080ti on the very latest drivers in 4K - I guess I could drop the resolution down and see if that helps, but I shouldn't have to do that.I can log in and play for hours, or even leave myself unattended facing a wall doing nothing and no disconnect. But in this Mordremoth story mission, I have just hit the button to do the final kill-shot on him and am clearly connected at that point as that has worked and advances the quest. It then plays a cut-scene of less than 15 seconds that I am unable to skip and boom! disconnected. I can reconnect instantly so at the very least I should be able to get back in where I left off - it's just very bad design/coding and the only ones who can help with that is Arenanet.

TnKillr.5420 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I echo the same frustration as you all have. There is nothing from the developers to address this issue? I have also bought bother expansion packs for GW2. I have changed the video settings as mentioned previously in this post. It helped by reducing graph settings to medium and enabling video sync but still, after about a hour, my system will crash. I have to hard reboot to get it to come back up. Even with the reduced settings I still experience the screen lag at times, mostly during battles, which is also frustrating.Thanks for suggestion about high dpi but NO JOY. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
