    That happened to me all evening yesterday, but I just got in now without too much of a hangup on 98%.

    Same thing is happening to me (again). This was a problem for me several months ago, was fixed, and now is happening again. :(

    I thought that after the game had two updates, would be fixed for me, but no. The same problem. This time, Task Manager wouldn't even come up, and I could not Alt-Tab to another window.

    This is also happening to me too (stuck at 98% when using the Lunar Rift). I also get the Shroud of the Avatar.exe is not responding when it happens.

    A little birdie told me last night that changing his settings from 'custom' to 'beautiful' oddly resolved the issue for him. This was after he has completed a bunch of other steps to try to resolve the issue.
    Of course, everyone has different machines and not everyone can run the game on the highest video setting. I post this information to see if it will help others - and to help us narrow down the issue. I do not know what his settings were when they were set at 'custom'

    It seems so face this problem repeatedly while others including myself never see it once :(
    I hope to get this fixed. I know this problem is not fun to deal with.I am stickying this thread as we continue to troubleshoot this.

    This is continuing to thwart us. Am on 'Fastest' settings. Trying beautiful.

    So this worked for you? Simply switching from fastest to beautiful?
    Anyone else have luck with this trick out there?

    I was stuck three time about 7:35 to 7:50 pm last night loading into OH and each time it got stuck at 98% Equpping Avatars. Had rebooted between each time. Even loaded to the Overworld and tried to enter, but still stuck.

    Then saw your note about switching graphic options and it went through

    As far as I can tell, it's random. I can have trouble getting in (I am right now with 760!), and sometimes it's just fine. Changing video settings is probably just a red herring. I normally run on Fastest. Or maybe it's some single piece of deco or player gear causing the problem.

    Of interest is that it seems to behave like I successfully entered the zone. If I get back on fast enough, I can get the "Log out/Resume" dialog.

    EDIT: ...and like I said, it's random. I did a Start on World Map and pow, I got right back in, no change to video settings. I think the time it takes to change video settings may be enough to have something time out, fixing the problem.

    I have had various good luck entering Owls Head by entering the town from the overland map (taking the boat to Hidden Vale from Brittian). Also tried Binding to Owls Head (because I can craft Recall Scrolls now) and Recall has so far been working for me as well. I do not have a good video card so I can’t try the Beautiful option, as I have most everything turned off. Maybe some of these tips might help?

    It could be a red herring. I did know some people can get in if they try again (without changing anything) but if it works for some, it may be worth mentioning.
    It may not even be a 'change to beautiful' thing but perhaps just a change in settings alone. I'm not convinced it is it either, however. The only people who seem to have this are using 8G video cards.
