Hang on "Exit to Character Selection"

Same issue as everyone else. In hideout. Go to exit to character selection screen it hangs. Try to go to transaction shop hangs. Try to go to login screen it hangs. You get the point. The ONLY thing that works is to exit the game completely and start again. Please fix

Same problem here, regardless of whether I use the regular client, or the client with the no asynchronous loading switch/tag/whatever one calls it.

This happens to me also on a 2700x and Nvidia 1070.

Press exit to character screen and the game hangs 100% of the time.

Exit works immediately and has no such issue.

Likewise. Animations and whatnot continue to play, afaik this means it's a server and not a computer issue.

I'm getting this issue as well, running an RX 580.

Can confirm I am also getting this.

It does not matter where in the game I am.

Choose exit to character selection and the game freezes, but static animations continue, like auras and firefly wing flapping.

Just started getting this issue in the past few days. I doubt it is hardware related.

Exit to char selection -> Game hangs as if there were terrible lag.


Exit Game -> Game closes instantly (even after it is hanging)

The odd thing is that there is no issue when I relaunch the game with authentication etc.. It's actually much faster to just exit to logon or exit the game and relaunch it than to sit there and stare at the game not knowing how to back out to char selection.

I am also getting this issue. Would be happy to post system details ect if it helps troubleshoot.

same here.
started happening for me immediately after the ddos.

Bug reproduced. This also affects the in-instance Log Out option, but only if an attempt was made to switch characters from the pop-up menu - that is, if you hang on attempting to switch characters, you'll also hang when attempting to log out.

Current workarounds:
1) Go to your hideout, use a skill, then attempt to switch characters
2) Go to any hostile area, then attempt to switch characters
3) Exit the client

Note that the hideout option specifically requires the use of a skill.

Curiosity question: was this related to one of the 3.4.5b hotfixes, or just 3.4.5b itself? I don't recall this happening until after the b patch was released.
