I apologize, I didn’t explain this thoroughly enough. You create a shortcut to the guild wars 2 launcher by right clicking the gw2.exe or gw2-64.exe and then clicking “create shortcut”. You can drag this to your desktop for ease of use. Next, right click the SHORTCUT and click properties. You’ll see a box that says “target”. Si vous rencontrez des problĂšmes de connectivitĂ© rĂ©currents, suivez les Ă©tapes de base de dĂ©pannage suivantes : Assurez-vous d'utiliser une connexion compatible ( Guild Wars 2 requiert au moins une connexion haut dĂ©bit pour que le jeu puisse fonctionner correctement). RĂ©initialisez votre routeur et votre modem. This will cause GW2 to re-download the details on what it needs to patch. Also verify it's actually using the VPN and try different servers. If it still fails, open msconfig, select the boot tab and check safe boot with networking under it, then ok and reboot. Is this your first time trying the new laptop? I'm assuming it's capable of accessing the internet? Right click Gw2-64.exe/Gw2.exe (if you're running Gw2Setup.exe, rename it to Gw2.exe and put it where you want to install it), select properties, and if it says the file came from another computer, unblock it. nothing can be done, amazon's internal routing suck. u can try a vpn that hopeful use a different route then amazon's "seattle black hole".i would say it has improve a little since pof launch, but it still a pain in the butt as there is a small number of server that seem to always have problem on and off.u can wait for a different instance to 204. Posted October 2, 2017. Posted this on the bugs section as I was fairly certain the cause wasn't on my end, but now I'm not sure what's going on. Quoting original post for context: "I'm constantly lagging out and disconnecting from Guild Wars 2, and this issue is isolated to Guild Wars; I can alt+tab and run a Speedtest/browse the forums If you are having problems running Guild Wars 2, the data archive may have become corrupted.

Guild Wars 2 Error Code 42 is an error that occurs when there is an interruption in the connection between the player and the game's account servers. Been experiencing extreme amounts of lag (ranging from 1k to 2k lag spikes). I've restarted my router and played other online games to look for possible problems but it seems like there's latency issues on GW2's side. Is it just me or anyone else experiencing this today? Edit: and yeah, i'm playing in SEA 7Gg6l.
