    The game keeps freezing at 98% loaded, took me 6 tries to get into owls head.

    Please use /bug especially so for critical reports. I am not able to repro this. Have you restarted your PC/mac/linux machine since this occurred?

    I cant bug it because it when it happens I have to close the game. Did seem to find a work around, if I do not go to the default entrance it seems to work.

    @Lexie , I've had this happen twice. Once a few days ago, and once this evening. I ended up closing the game after waiting a few minutes. When I log back into the game, my avatar appears at the Owl's Head zone in point, as opposed to the overland map. If that helps. It made it that far in the transition process.

    I'll bug it the next time it happens so at least you have a time stamp to look at server data. ..... In fact, if it helps, here is the Chat Log from today. I originally logged in the game at the crossroads just west of Kingsport. I went to Owl's Head, as I had some sales there. The result ...

    The seven minutes between sessions is indicative of how long I waited before I closed the game.

    The time is EST.

    I don't know what causes it. Though I remember such happenings some releases back.

    I haven't been able to load into Owl's Head for 2 days now. I've tried teleporting to other players, teleporting to party members and loading in from the overland map. I get to 98% and the loading hangs up. Max I've waited is 10 minutes

    Also happening to me.
    Got in when Gix teleported me in. (he TP'd me to NBNN broadcast area)
    Cannot teleport in in FO or MP
    Cannot enter from overworld - to default or west entrance
    Have tried both in windowed and fullscreen modes - tried varying switching back and forth
    Have tried naked and equipped (both in RL and game :))

    Cannot get in OH period at this point.

    Ditto for me, just started last night. I am unable to teleport in or enter from the overworld. Freezing up at 98%, and it's not saying anything else at the bottom, it just goes unresponsive.

    Using the Lunar Rift today, I had no problems entering Owls Head. Did not try other methods .

    Just happened several times to Tasha Aeon. Same as above but we noticed the option to choose an entrance was not appearing, rather when clicking on Owl's Head to enter, it simply started to load town then stuck at 98%. We tried from a different PC and finally got in to town, but did not have the option to choose an entrance.

    each char only gets the option to enter a specific entrance if they've previously visited it within the town.

    If you guys haven't done this yet, can you check for updated video card drivers? So far I have two confirmed cases where this stop happening after they were updated. It may be a coincidence, but it is worth a shot.
    I haven't been able to repro from multiple machines. I do wonder if this is a bug related to 8gb memory video cards. If this continues, please use /bug and post your spec information please. It's not happening to everyone so we'd need to gather some info.

    This happened to me multiple times yesterday, at least 6 times. This morning it's happened 3 times. Not just entering Owls head, but some other towns as well. When it happens the game will freeze and i'll have to restart the game, other times I may get a BSOD and I have to reboot my pc.

    amd fx 8350 @4.72ghz
    Windows 10 64bit
    16mb ram
    sapphire r9 270x 2gb graphics card on latest driver 18.3.3
    500gb ssd

    I hope this gets worked out considering it makes the game unplayable and launch is in one day.
