TheLadyOfTheRings.9148 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hi everyone. When I open the gw2 launcher I get this "Connection error(s) detected... Retrying" message (my connection is fine) and it seems like something is blocking the game. I followed this website's instructions (https://appuals.com/connection-error-detected-in-guild-wars-2/#:~:text=As it turns out%2C the,re network configuration currently uses.&text=Restart your computer%2C then attempt,the problem is now fixed. ), tried every possible solution and the issue still remains... Is anyone else having the same problem? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I used to get this when I tried to run GW2 using a restricted network that only allowed http and https traffic. Retrying never succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not network admin at that location, so I just could not change network configuration to play there. I can play just fine at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healix.5819 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 It means GW2 can't connect to the patch server (http://assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com/latest64/101). If you've already tried flushing or changing your DNS provider, something is either blocking GW2, or there's a problem with your local server.

Oak.7492 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) This might solve the issue at hand c/windows/system32/drivers/hosts < make this map readable then admin edit the host file with the following 52.202.130.147 Edited May 17, 2021 by Oak.7492 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanemi.4903 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) This is the kind of issue that I had to deal with 2 times already... WTF is happening with the hosts and why does I need to set this AGAIN? I did even add permission to my 'user' when I do not need to do this. (just to be safe) Imagine if every patch I need to deal with 'tracert' and 'hosts' to update the game?!FINAL SOLUTION: (until another change) add those lines to your windows/system32/drivers/hosts (do not forget to make the file readable)3.210.229.193 52.202.130.147 34.206.165.16Keep in mind that you may need to run nslookup and or tracert at every patch. Open cmd with administrative permission and run:nslookup origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com 8.8.8.8 Edited May 18, 2021 by kanemi.4903 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've edited the hosts file and didn't remove it later, you'll eventually encounter this connection error problem when the IP changes. Only edit the hosts file when there's a problem, and remove it after - if you were stuck patching for example, remove it after you've finished patching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dithnir.4593 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) I've developed this same issue this morning. I've never previously had to do anything to get the game to work. I've tried almost everything in the links above: Edited the host file Flushed DNS Expressly opened the ports on router Ensured uPnP is enabled Whitelisted the game Deleted the Roaming folder Unchecked the QoS packet scheduler and added the additional line to the shortcut recommended in one of the links. Am about to try deleting and reinstalling, see if that helps. Edited May 18, 2021 by Dithnir.4593 added info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angryangel.8541 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I started having the same problem yesterday. I keep getting stuck on login screen and on loading screens. It's getting pretty old. Nothing on my end has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
