I’m not sure if this is a bug with the game or an issue with my computer so I flipped a coin to pick a section, if necessary the topic can always be moved.
I seem to have a really hard time logging in to any character who is in LA, and not just at peak times.
It’s especially noticable now when I’m trying to collect influence by logging into each of my characters in turn. I logged into my 5 alts who are dotted around the world (including some very busy zones and other cities) in about 5 minutes total, I’ve now been watching the loading screen on LA for a further 5 minutes and based on past experience after about 8-10 minutes it will say I lost connection and restart the launcher. Then the same will happen again until I give up on playing my main.
I’m not sure when exactly this problem started but I first remember noticing it during Wintersday. At the time I put it down to abnormally high numbers of people in LA and assumed it’d go away with time. But it didn’t.
The strangest part is if I go to LA from another zone (ie. through an asura gate) it will load fine and not take much longer than any other zone, it’s only if I log off a character while there and then try to log in to them again.
Does anyone have any idea what’s causing this and what (if anything) I can do to fix it?
