Stuck on a loading screen

Switching servers - America to Europe, or back again. This is the only way to fix the problem if it happens in town.

yesterday the client.exe crashed while loading a waypoint to broken bridge from forest enc and i could login after restarting the exe (there was no old executable instance running) but wasn't able to load any char in default league as my former party companion was still in forest encampment. tried for 5-10 minutes before switching from the europe server to america which worked instantly.

the fix for this is to just switch to another server. load up the encampment or if its an instance go to the other server and make a new instance of the one u got stuck in. currently i live in Ohio and i have issues when playing on Europe servers with this. never really had it with the american server. although Europe has less lag at peak times for me. :) i didn't read all the pages so this fix has prolly been told over 10 times :P just thought I'd reiterate it for u
I'm sure this problem is hard to fix or it would patched already. I hope it gets fixed soon though, I'm crashing at the load screen like every 4 areas or so.
Have anyone of GGG noticed this bug? Because it's getting really annoying when you try to get to the quest point (passing 3 loading screens) and crashing somewhere in the middle. Now it's just a survival game from one waypoint to another.
This is the most game-breaking bug, imo it's the one bug they absolutely have to fix before they can go to OB.

It is something we're aware of, definitely - It's just something that is hard to fix, because it never happens locally. We're definitely planning to have something that creates a new area if it fails to load.

Thank you for looking into this, it's very frustrating to have to change servers to play.

BTW euro/us same thing.. no difference accept latency i would guess.

Please!! Get your suggested fix in! Happens way to often..like daily!!
Hello All,

Started several days ago as a Beta Member. I have enjoyed the game very much, with the exception of the loading... screen. The wait time is long to very long. Long is over 2 minutes. By the look of this thread, this issue is well known. Simply put, if I need to wait for more than 3-4 minutes for the game to load, I end up playing something else.

Please fix asap.

Thanks

When I play solo I rarely see this bug. However it happens quite often in this scenario:

Playing in party of two, the game crashes on one of the party members (usually my wife's laptop), after relaunching and logging back in it will get stuck on loading the encampment if my character is already there. Once I leave (shore OR forest, happens on both) then the next time (after force quitting) she can log in and it loads the encampment just fine.

Both clients are running via Wine on a Mac.

Hope it helps

I finally found the source of this bug.

The vital bit of information I was lacking to reproduce this was that the two accounts have to be on each others friends list.

If a friend stood in town, and you were in a party that was disbanded via disconnecting from the game in another instance, then when rejoining you would get the infinite load until all of your friends in town left.

Expect a fix in 0.9.10 tomorrow.
