Ok ive had the game for a few days and at first it didnt work so we bought a new video card. now i have the new video card in my computer and last night it worked wonderfully but this morning when i tried to log on it brought up the "connecting to ArenaNet" window but would never load! So i cant play my game that i spent 50$ for and an additional 50$ with the video card, so i spent 100$ on this game and i cant even play it!!! can anyone help me with this? is there a way i should try putting in the disc or is it just ArenaNet screwing up?

I don't think a video card would stop your connection the game, it could be your connection at the moment.

choppermoskau · Jul 23, 2005, 04:37 PM // 16:37

I, too, am having the same problem this morning. Can anyone make any suggestions....I have had it installed for several months now so its not anything like the wrong card or something.

Faith Tempest · Jul 23, 2005, 05:00 PM // 17:00

so what do you think the problem is? do you think ArenaNet is screwed up?

You could try uninstalling and re-installing the GW Client, apart from that, I can't help

It sounds like there is a conection error... lol. Check the GuildWars.com for updates. Maybe it was down when you were trying.

well its not like its an error for a few minutes or hours, it wont let me get on for days!

Well if you can connect here, but not guildwars it's not a problem with your video card. Most likely, one of the computers that your connection to guildwars must travel through is down and thus blocking the connection from occuring.

Wonder what kind of video adapter you can get for $50.
I run 3 games on 2 PCs and never have had a connect problem.
In fact Ive never seen the "Connecting to" msg.
Im just there

I have the same problem. Every time I load guild wars arena ne loads, then mt computer freezes. I am getting depressed, i only played 3 times and I have to give it up soooo soon! Pleese help us!

try disabling your firewall and trying to see if its a problem with your firewall. Your cable/dsl may be having connectivity problems, you may have a virus, etc... lots of things that may go wrong. If its not your firewall, try reinstalling guild wars. Your account will still be there with your chars so dont worry about that. Other than that it may just be a temporary thing, keep trying.

it is NOT your computer speed that is not letting you load. my old 733 mhz, 8mb graphics can open the game, but then recieves an error message that it cant play, so use some1 elses suggestion ^^^^^^^^^6
