I’m having a strange and debilitating issue logging in today. The loading screen takes about 10 minutes to pass, and when it does, I’m greeted by emptiness, countless generic players running around, and occasionally a graphic will load.
Here is my experience over the last 30 minutes.
Client log-in normal. No delay.
Character selection screen normal.
World selection loaded words but not the black background for several seconds.
Enter map, loading screen stayed up for nearly 10 minutes despite Divinity’s reach background audio playing.
Screen loads with me at the statue of Dwayna but my character is not visible and the screen appears to be in first person, no ground, few ambiant buildings visible, a few pillars, a doorframe. All players within a wide area visible in a generic blackened form. Many “Player” titles visible below me.
Camera seems to be able to rotate, but no movement possible. Camera seems to be misplaced on its axis.
A few objects such as stairs, plants, and solar system mobile become visible. Players as far away as the entrance to seraph HQ targetable via left click. Ateempts to move forward result in strange skipping around of location. Jumping moves the camera diagonally down instead of up and down. Jumping while moving skips the camera back and forth between two locations.
Suddenly camera is on the stairs in the garden. I get the “Do you want to enter the instance” option for Queen Jenna’s room despite not visibly being there.
Chat function is normal. I am able to speak in Guild Chat with no delay.
Castle loads without ground underneath it. Movement still scrambled.
Ground loads. Movement improved but still seems random and I still get stuck.
My character loads and everything is normal.
