Just a FYI in case you are getting as frustrated as me when I can't log in my main hunter

Re: Lock-up on entering game world
Two things that have helped:
(i) In many cases I've been able to log on after a faction change (and then back again). It resets a lot of things, including your hearth. That worked every time except this last one. Perhaps the changes in this latest patch mean that no longer works, or perhaps it's just chance. To be able to faction change you have to wait till that option cycles around for your character (I think they change hourly or so?), you also can't be in a guild and can't have any mail. I've deliberately stayed out of guilds on my hunter for this reason.
(ii) In the latest patch I just had to leave it logged in and unresponsive until it timed out and I got logged off the server. I know this took more than an hour. In the end I left it running while I went to bed, so I can't say how long it took. I woke to find myself disconnected from the server and my hunter was active afterwards.
Oddly... I dual boot Mac OS X and Win 7 on this computer. I fixed it in my Mac client, but my hunter still freezes if I try to log in on the Windows client. It could be that whatever it needs to do during the long time out is saved client-side. It could also be that the Mac client is just behaving better at this point. Or it could, again, be chance.
I know that having your pet out or stowed away makes no difference. In the latest instance I had no active pet and it still froze up on login. Switching to minimal graphics/resolution and turning off sound all make no difference.

I've not got the beta set up on the Mac but that might be worth a shot also.
I've tried leaving it going - usually the monitor goes off first and I come back to a black screen!

I tried loading the environment on my shammy once, but it didn't work for me. Maybe it helps for some, though.Kalliope wrote:HA! I think one of the suggestions in the thread worked: take another toon to the location the stuck one is logged out and get the environment to load fully before relogging to the stuck one. Bam, worked. Course, I also tried a same faction race change too, for good measure. Woot.
The pain of the faction change is that it removes your FPs and that's been especially annoying for Vashj'ir. Fortunately they have the portal working for there finally.

Yeah, it didn't work for some. :/ It did work for me this one time on the PTR at least.Wain wrote:I tried loading the environment on my shammy once, but it didn't work for me.

Re: Lock-up on entering game world
I've left it for a few hours - and it's not fixed.
I've tried clearing the cache. I've tried different PC's and a Mac. Swapped faction a couple times. Tried logging on twice to kick the first attempt off in some attempt to fix it. Nothing.
I can only hope my "real" hunter doesn't "inherit" this same issue when live is upgraded to 4.0.1!
