Kicked to Character Select whenever I zone

Glaucus · 08-28-2011, 03:05 AM

Hi there, I think this is the right forum for my issue. I have been spending most of my time in game since GU in TT and Barren Sky. Almost everytime I zone, either from one island to another, or to completely different zones, the game screen starts to come up where I can see my character, then the screen goes blank and it kicks me to character select. It is only happening on one toon. Also, in a simi related note, when I /camp and /camp desktop, it no longer does the 20 second count down, also, only on this one toon. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance!

(Oh yeah, the toon is Adrastus on the Antonia Bayle server.)

I am getting exactly the same problem as you - and sometimes i log a char in ok, and then next char it will get to the point "Waiting for entities" and then go back to the char select screen.

Any clues anyone?

I am experiencing this issue also.

According to patch notes this issue was resolved. I vote you take another shot at it since now it seems to have spread gamewide.

Ok.

So... Noone is going to say anything about the large number of people ive seen with this problem?

Getting kicked to character select when zoning or sitting in guildhall. Then being given the "you have a character in the world"error.

Then if you can log in, it immedately kicks you to the character select screen.

Not to be dramatic, but if I cant play why pay?

Was 20 minutes late to raid today due to my problem.

I have been logging in and being kicked back to character select with a bunch of toons, seems to happen a lot when I change toons. I will get kicked as many as 15 times in a row on same toon. Many times I start to camp and get kicked before I am camped and have to come back in and try again because I get the character in the world message and cant alt. This has been going on all day today. Some lost the chance to hit yes on the unattune button because of it. (not that I personally care so won't be petitioning on that score hehe)

Thanks for bringing this up. We'll look into it.

Vandaria · 09-03-2011, 11:08 PM

Having the same issue and it is slowly doing this to all my characters so I cannot log anyone in. Crushbone server.

Calhannar · 09-03-2011, 11:13 PM

I am having a similar problem, but on the Permafrost server. I submitted a petition earlier today and got a response that said to try clearing the cache manuallly and scanning game assets.I did do that but I am still having some issues.

Is it possible that with the free weekend the servers can't handle the load?I have no basis for that beyond speculation. Just throwing it out there.

apwyork · 09-04-2011, 04:12 PM

This happens to one of my characters also. Only one of them, not all of them. When I leave my guildhall and /camp I am dropped right out to character select and when I sign any other character in, I get the "you currently have a character in the world" message. If I sign that character back in, I get into the game and then kicked right back out to character select. SO I either have to wait for that character to time out of the game itself, or I can keep signing in and getting kicked over and over until for whatever reason it decides to stop kicking me out.

Grisha · 09-16-2011, 08:39 PM

This is happening to me too, pretty much on all my toons. I also, when in my house, can't interact with anything at all, and eventually just get kicked to character select - so I'm a prisoner in my own home!

Gardapthia · 09-17-2011, 09:29 PM

I'm having the same issue here with my accounts. Log it and then get kicked randomly back to the character selection screen. Additionally, if I have a researched spell completed, it bugs it and I can't claim or start researching a new one SMILEY
