For some years now there has been an issue with the game: After passing the first few levels (it happened to me with two lvl 18 characters), it becomes impossible to play said characters. What I mean is when presented with the screen showing the characters, clicking on play will not do anything.
Other lower level characters will react correctly, creating a new character will work as well, but characters with level higher than ~15 are unplayable
The issue has been know for some years, there are some forum threads about it and alike issues
- Game won't let me select my character :/
- Cannot log onto my main char!!!!!!!
- Main Character Won't Load! PLEASE HELP!
- [IMPORTANT] Character Loading Issues
Proposed solutions
- changing firewall settings
- running as administrator
- running in compatibility mode
- repairing install
- waiting after clicking on play
- installing latest drivers
None of them seem to fix the issue. As hinted with the last link, as of january 2014 the devs seem to be aware of the issue. Is there any consistent way of being able to actually play our characters?
