Snograt · Apr 08, 2009, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Arse.

Guess what? No connection and BT.

I think there's definitely a pattern here...

Woehero Nakashima · Apr 08, 2009, 07:20 PM // 19:20

??.?? there definatly is, unless BT have suddenly decided that any form of guildwars is against thier polociy and jsut want to destroy our hopes n dreams it has to be an ISP issue ??.?? but i'll let you know the fruits of my reinstall

lordelg · Apr 08, 2009, 07:31 PM // 19:31

Olof · Apr 08, 2009, 07:34 PM // 19:34

Woehero Nakashima · Apr 08, 2009, 07:36 PM // 19:36

i've actually got a reply from Guildwars Support, apparently i was to update my gfx card (software wise despite it should of been up to date ??.??) then after that im to do a reinstall, and tbh your not the only 1 who didnt want to do a reinstall but if it means i can play then why not.

Xenomortis · Apr 08, 2009, 07:38 PM // 19:38

How the hell could that possibly help?
If that works, I will find a hat so I can eat it.

Woehero Nakashima · Apr 08, 2009, 07:39 PM // 19:39

your not the only person whose sceptical mate, but if it needs updating it needs updating i might aswell try it, just to rub it in their faces if it fails :P

oh and i forgot, another thing they asked me to try is:

Then I would like you to try disabling all startup items to make sure that no background programs or processes are causing this problem. To do this, please perform the following:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and then hit the R key. This should bring up the Run dialogue box.

2. Type MSCONFIG and click OK. This should open the System Configuration Utility. .

3. On the General tab switch to Selective Startup and un-check the box for Load Startup Items.

4. Next click on the Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services, then click on Disable All.

5. Once that is done, clicking either OK or Apply should prompt you to restart your computer, which you should do before attempting to play the game again

Hey guys just managed to get in

Spinny · Apr 08, 2009, 08:21 PM // 20:21

Ehhh seriously, what they're telling you is nothing more than a waste of time. How on earth can a video card give you an err5?!
EDIT: Me to

Xenomortis · Apr 08, 2009, 08:21 PM // 20:21

Curious as to what caused it, but it appears to have been fixed.

Woehero Nakashima · Apr 08, 2009, 08:22 PM // 20:22

it causes you erros by working? and aye ive just finished my reinstall xD

Spinny · Apr 08, 2009, 08:25 PM // 20:25

LOL. Seems like your install might have solved all our problems :P

EDIT: Back on but getting pings of 20k and getting d/c'd

Snograt · Apr 08, 2009, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Suddenly, everyone I know who's with BT can connect again - me too, albeit very slowly.

>>Lagging and disconnects aplenty. Hopefully it's a sign that they're working on it, though...

Olof · Apr 08, 2009, 08:47 PM // 20:47

yes back in now too

Woehero Nakashima · Apr 08, 2009, 08:52 PM // 20:52

well it worked, now it doesnt ??.??

aga · Apr 08, 2009, 08:53 PM // 20:53

I managed to connect again aswell, but only for about 10minutes before getting more error 005's...

Ewa Kirch · Apr 08, 2009, 08:55 PM // 20:55
