Hey folks, I could really use your help. Since the U46 update, my game won’t let me load a character most of the time. I can get to the character selection screen, but after I choose a character, the game freezes on the loading screen, even locking up my computer sometimes. I can occasionally log in without a hitch, but switching characters brings back the freezing issue. I’ve tried repairing the game, disabling and even uninstalling addons, and fully reinstalling the game. My graphics card and operating system are also up to date. Has anyone else faced this issue?

I think your HDD might be on the fritz. It could be causing slow load times or freezes. Try running a diagnostic on it; that could reveal if it needs replacing or fixing.
I’m feeling your pain. I updated my drivers, repaired game files, and even set graphics settings to the lowest, but nothing worked. This started right after the latest update for me and it keeps getting worse. Have you tried checking all the game settings thoroughly?
Sounds like a frustrating issue! Make sure your antivirus has exceptions for your game’s folders, especially if you use OneDrive. That service sometimes tries to sync files while they’re in use, which can mess things up. Before you reinstall, check what changed since it last worked, like any Windows updates or driver changes, and consider rolling them back. Keeping auto-updates off can help prevent these issues. Also, when asking for help, don’t forget to share your system details; it makes troubleshooting easier!
