Whenever I select Terra my game FRE's. Can select the other servers fine (though I don't have any chars on those). Started happening after someone was trading me and I crashed out. Emailed support but no reply. This was over a week ago.
I have tried file check and full reinstall. Not made a bit of difference.
Any suggestions?

Obvious stuff: firewalls, ip blockers etc. make sure those are all off. Also, you may wanna try switching to dx7 in the configuration, I think that used to work for me when I had this problem.

switching to DX7 mode sorta worked - I can view the character select screen now, but only 1 of my characters has a portrait and it shows his whole body (not just his head in the box). The rest of the portraits are empty.
On logging in I cant see any most NPC's and the ones I can see are horribly corrupt. I'm going to attempt another full wipe and reinstall to a spare drive.
HUZZAH! Done. Looks like a corrupted cache file as I assume that these are not checked by the file validation.
However, 2 of my characters still don't have a portrait and completely the wrong descriptions. Spy/Preacher? wtf?Last edited by Omnituens; 25-05-11 at 16:47.

and ur sure these weren't that way before? because most chars turning into preachers has been the result of a database corruption a few years back turning most old characters into preachers or something.

There's a file that causes this bug. Terra.something
If you dig around in the forums you might find it. Just delete it I believe and the game sorts itself out.
And yeah, the no portrait/wrong description is a result of the great hair database fail/
