Error Code 58

HI, I have played Guild Wars 2 since it released. At release, I would get error codes 7 and 58 and then it finally stopped and I could play regularly for quite a while until the recent update. Now when I log on I can get to the character screen but when I click my character it says error code 58 and takes me back to the main client screen. Any help would be appreciated. I have checked the error codes on the one page and nothing seems to work. This has been going on for about three days now.

Hi SargentLee – I would like you to try a new command we just introduced to assist players with these types of issues. To do this:

1. Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 installation folder.

2. Right-click on “GW2.exe” and select “Create Shortcut.”

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

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

5. 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”

6. 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 5 again.

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