Fruitless login attempt now yields critical error.

in Guild Wars 2

I'm just wondering if anyone else is getting this when they try to login.

Last night I was trying to patch in that large update but found that it stuck at 76% so I shut it down before it completed.

This morning I went to continue the patch but it did not seem to continue.  When I did my daily "Lets' see if I can sneak in LOL" routine I got an error message.  That is all I am getting now.  A critical error message window with an option to send the error report to Arenanet.

    Uh oh, that sounds like a case of the infamous two week lock-out.

    Oh god oh god oh no!  Do they have a cream for that? Can I go down to Walgreens and get a shampoo to get rid of it? image

    I feel sorry for their Bug Tracking Software...

    How many thousands of these bugs are being sent to their system every hour?

    They got tired of people trying to log into the game, they decided to scare the crap out of them with this error message, heh.

    Re-type your password and see if it still happens. Last time there was an error 48 if you did not re-enter it; apparently they changed encryption or something.

    Retyping the password doesn't fix this error. Arenanet have a few days left to fix whatever they broke with their last patch. Of course we will have to stress test any significant changes they make *erhem*

    You might also try the commandline option -repair

    To everyone that can't login and get a critical error. Delete your password and retype it (the same password)

    Block the trolls, don't answer them, so we can remove the garbage from these forums

    This was happening to me also but I found that if you remove -useoldlauncher from the shortcut then you get the standard message 'no event at this time....', give that a go and you might find you heart slows back down to it's regular rate ;p
  • NaeviusNaevius Member UncommonPosts: 334
    Ok, just got to try this myself. I get the crash no matter what I try, so it looks like the game is currently in some unstable state.
  • XzenXzen Member UncommonPosts: 2,607

    After getting the same error a few times it's now doing an update.

     

    Update: Normal login attemp fail message is back and no longer crashing.

    They fixed it in the latest patch

  • AndorhalAndorhal Member UncommonPosts: 73
    I seem to be fine, have patched the clients even a few times a day, my build number reads 15184.
  • ionxeelionxeel Member UncommonPosts: 318
    Yup, it works now for me.

    I do not have the -useoldlauncher switch in my shortcut and it still crashes no matter what. I suspect ANet are doing something behind the scenes. We arent supposed to be able to log in at the moment anyway. Maybe they are changing the error messages out, because that "no beta" error message will be no good come launch anyway. 

    Edit: after the latest patch it works about 50% of the time, and crashes the other 50% hmmmmmmm

    Seems ok now - just the normal 'no event' message, no crash.
