Keep getting this error for a couple of days.

Any info of what could be causing? Gw2 has always worked fine, and now this.

Home computer using a router with all ports open.

Hi there Tecnomage,

If you’re still experiencing this issue, I would advise trying a DNS flush and bypassing your router completely so you can rule that out as a possibility. Beyond this, I would advise the following to see if this resolves the issue for you:

1. Locate the file “GW2.exe” and right-click it, selecting “Create Shortcut.”

2. Rename this shortcut to “Guild Wars 2 Port Test.”

3. Right-click on this shortcut and select “Properties.”

4. Edit the “Target” line to include /clientport 80 at the end. Note: Please make sure /clientport 80 is outside of the quotes.

— Correctly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe” /clientport 80
— Incorrectly Formatted Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe /clientport 80”

5. Once completed, click “Ok” to save your changes. If you get an error trying to save, your target line may not have the correct format. Please try Step 4 again.

6. Double click “Guild Wars 2 Port Test” and try connecting again.

Hope this helps!
