Tekoneiric.6817 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I've noticed since yesterday I've had a bug with the character select screen. When the game loads to the character select screen I'll see my characters then it'll switch to a static image for about 15 seconds then back to the active character select screen. The first time it was a static image of my characters with another character showing instead of my last played one. It's not animated. The last few times it's just showing the Gendarran Fields loading screen then back to my active character select. It seems to be pulling some static image buffered from somewhere and displaying it. I ran the data file repair and still get the issue.Win 7 Pro 64bitAMD FX-8150 8 core processor @ 3.6Ghz24 GB ramNVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GBDrivers/software for gfx card up to date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablue.5710 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I don't know if it's the same issue, but my wife had the same thing you describe happening. Apparently when he PC updated/restarted so did discord. The discord overlay was blocking her mouse and causing the character screen to freeze. Any app that might have an overlay that you use might cause this issue. I closed out of discord and her issue went away instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated my gfx card software last week and I didn't have any problems until yesterday. They usually push some change to the game even if it's just the gem store update on Tuesdays. The only overlay I have going is the NVidia FPS counter in the lower corner. Something had to have changed in the game yesterday to cause it.

Could help get to the root of the issue. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a game ending bug. More just visually annoying for a moment. What graphics card does she use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntromanIAC.5760 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 @Diablue.5710 thank you so much for pointing that out, it was preventing me from choosing a character and it was my discord causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they must have tweaked something off the record to make this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
