Hi guys,

I've got a weird problem, maybe someone here can help me out.

Firstly, I'm running Windows 7 RC1 x64. Got iBurst running easily enough on it using Vista drivers. I've also got no problems connecting and browsing the web.

But:
I seems like the connection just "stops" when trying to play Guild Wars, and I can't figure out what the problem is. Note: The game client has full access in the build in firewall, so I don't think its the source of the problem.

Its as if the connection can't send/receive packets when my GW window is active. I tried running GW in windowed mode, which illustrated the prob perfectly. When activating the game window, connection stops, and when I click on the desktop the connection resumes, etc. (can see people running around, and the chat-window is going crazy) WTF?

Does this sound familiar to anybody? Where do I start looking for a solution?

Thanx in advance
Daniel

Hi Daniel

Unfortunately I cannot assist in this issue.

Calling all gamers for ideas....
 
Just an update:

I've asked the same question on another forum, and a member asked me if my connection (to google/microsoft etc) stops alltogether while the GW window is active:

Answwer: yup... Seems like my connection just goes idle.

I'm running a single core AMD 3700+ CPU, which runs at 100% when in GW. Could it be just a bit too much too process?
