ive also had this and many other problems with the client, i think ive seen like 7 different kinds of pop up messages that basically just force close the client and i have to load it again, but once it gets up and going its fine. some days its mostly ok some are annoying. ive done everything Mieleoneis has said. ive done whatAClaireAB has said (which deletes all of your ui customization like hotbars, keybinds, chat settings and so on). ive done complete wipes then restart computer and clean install, ive done client repairs in the settings, turned direct x11 on and off, gone into internet options, whitelisted the launcher i think, checked all the TLS things. i dont know wtf to do for this anymore other than "ignore whatever error pops up if its the same old thing and relaunch client until it starts working"

i literally have people down the street with THREE different computers and accounts in the same house all playing at the same time on the same connection, pretty sure using the same isp as me, and they have 0 problems whatsoever. my computer is basically brand new with only a few steam games on it, guild wars 2, and then this game. how am i having problems lol
