Ashantara.8731 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) This has been an issue for some time now (at least since the Halloween Patch went live): The Character Selection Screen shows your character's second last location instead of the current one, which can lead to two subsequent loading screens upon clicking "Play". It can also lead to your character ending up at the wrong location. Example: My character was in the middle of Queensdale (near Beetletun). When I relogged, the CSS showed me Divinity's Reach as the last logged location (it's were I had been before Queensdale). Upon selecting the character, I was getting the Divinity's Reach loading screen shortly, then it immediately reloaded to Queensdale. However, the character didn't spawn at their last actual location (Beetletun), but instead spawned in front of the city gate to Divinity's Reach. The same thing has been happening with the Crystal Desert<->Mistlock Sanctuary and many other map sequences. Please fix!

Chaba.5410 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Did you log out of that character, log into a different character, then went back to character selection screen pretty quickly by chance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. And it's not happening with only one character but all, repeatedly, on occasion. Perhaps I need to delete the Local.dat. Will check back later... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bish.8627 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I get weird stuff sometimes if I dont let the character select screen load when switching characters quickly. Might not be your problem, but next time you do switch between, try giving the character select a few seconds to show everything first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's acted funny before with location when you switch characters quickly so maybe it's related to that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Rata Sum, then thousand needles, went to Mad King Lab. and left there, the game moved me to the newbie zone for Azura. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because youre using "invitation to party" to exit the lab, it always tps you to the beginner's location depending on the race you play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 It looks like deleting the Local.dat did the trick for me. Have not encountered the bug since yesterday. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Correction: the login screen still isn't logging a character's location (and profession spec!) correctly at all times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 This is still an issue. My character was in Lion's Arch first, then I went to Bloodtide Coast. When I relogged, the character was back in Lion's Arch. WTH? This is costing me silver, so it would be nice if the problem was being looked into. Thanks.
