Problem after today's update - Guild Wars Forums

I got an ingame message today a few hours ago (5-6) and it told me to restart the program becuase there was an updated version now. So I did this, it updated but now I can't connect to ArenaNet. What's goingon?

Have you checked your firewall settings?

Something hinky(strange) is going on for sure. Iand many others got the same update, and I was fine, if there was a persistent problem, by that I mean others with it, youd probably have several others posting as well.
Something to check, your firewall, sometimes after updating the .exe is changed and the firewall may have blocked it, mine is like this, after every update I have to re-give permission. Thats about it, but Im not a really tech. person so maybe someon else can help. Basically it sounds like it is probably on your end, Im sure you have, but go over everything again, check your connection, make sure everything else needing an internet connection is working like the web, well your posting, so...
Good luck with it, still a bit of a a bummer.

I'm having around the same problem- today it took me around 45 min to connect, and every time I tried to load an area it took a loooonnnggg time. Right now im doing a sort of rebooting thing someone suggested, an -image code put into GW. Confusing, but I hope it works
