Error Code - 42:0:9001:4457:101 and Cannot download Launcher from Website

[reverizon.3520]

I'm pretty sure people have error on this as well.

Here is my situation:

1. Downloaded GW2 fine, and it loaded til the "Playable". Everything was fine until I change the LAN cable from my Router. (When everything failed, I changed it back to my mesh)
2. From here, when I log in to the game, Error Code - 42:0:9001:4457:101 will appear after 1-2mins and there will be ridiculous lag and delay.
3. I did all solutions to error 42, including adding assetsvr command to target lines, restarting modemn/router etc etc.
4. After all solutions fail, I decided to uninstall. Which now, I now cannot download even the installer from the website. The download speed is 0kbps.
5. Using my old downloaded installer, I tried to install, but it can't even go pass to reach the launcher.
6. I am playing other games fine, with to latency issue or delays.

Please assist on this. Thanks

Thank you for your help but the error code isn't in there. I've seen people experiencing this error recently as well. But above everything else, thanks for trying to help! Really appreciate it! :)

im having this problem aswell , its been 48 hours nowi though it just me having this problem

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

The exact error code is not listed, but you can see they are grouped similarly. The Wiki is updated, edited and maintained only by players. I've added error codes myself.

Did you try the troubleshooting tip of waiting 4 to 6 hours? Contact the Tech CS Team?

[reverizon.3520]

Yeah. Contacted the team, did some solutions, waited for 4-6hrs and all.. Still to no avail. I've sent a ticket to them already and still awaiting results.

Same problem here, Aus player getting a code=42:0:9001:4457:101 error when trying to access Black Lion Trading (everything thing else about the game works fine). Guild chat did occasionally not work when this error first started but has stopped for now.

Looks like this has happened before in this thread of New Zealand players and it was sorted out with a patch,

Edit: Just as I write this post Black Lion Trading seems to work, albeit very slow (after closing about 10 pop-ups of the error in-game). Hopefully it stays this way.

For Trading Post errors, you can try clearing your GW2 cache. Instruction found in the Knowledge Base accessed via the 'Support' link above/below and 'Search - Troubleshoot Trading Post'.

Good luck.
