Error 42:1000:7006:892 - Blue Tracker

Hello all!
I’m having a problem when I try to launch GW2. I keep getting this error code:
Error 42:1000:7006:892

I’ve already forwarded ports 80, 443, 6112 and 6600. PFPortCheck sais that they are open. I’ve tried running the game with both my firewall and antivirus turned off (I’m using Avast). I tried to run it as an administrator.
I did fluch my dns and reset winsock.
Nothing works and I still cannot connect. I really hope that someone would be able to help me.

Hi there Nalier,

The instructions below will change the way Guild Wars 2 connects on your network. In short, this will force all inbound and outbound data to use port 80. Since port 80 is a very common port, it usually has the least amount of issues with transmission of data. To do this:

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!
