Unknown Error Code=249

Hello all,

Since this morning, I can't get past the login screen. I've opened a support ticket, but with ANet warning for "long support times" themselves on the website maybe this will help me out faster.

The error code I'm receiving is 249, which, unhelpfully, isn't listed on the page of frequent error codes. It's indicating a Network Error and asks me to check my internet connection. Internet works, that I'm sure. Firewall exceptions are in place for GW as well. Beyond that, I don't know what I can do at my end. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Yak

Hi, most players are getting the same error (seeing reports across Discord, Reddit and it is also effecting GW2 logins (from their subreddit and official forums).

They're currently aware of the issue and are working on it.

Ah, I never thought to check the Guild Wars 2 Twitter

Thanks, the fact that it's probably not something at my end is a big reassurance!
