Title says it all, have too close program and restart to chage toons sometimes.

But now I cant even log on my ranger after I received a error unlike risia it would let you

This is a real pity - it was happening almost every time I ran up the Risia client (and only an alt-F4 and a relog would fix). I bug reported it, and also posted in the Risia forums about it... It would even happen from a fresh start of the client sometimes.

This is going to annoy a LOT of people - especially those who see a raid happening that's needing a cleric, try to switch to your cleric, and end up having to alt-F4...

I had this happen closed the program tried logging in same character and got an error. Logged in another character on that account logged out and logged in the errored character and was fine.

I was testing if talking to Nyx again gave the extra new slot which it didn't...

First toon is stuck going into a tavern, second stuck on first attempt to log in. 2 other toons no issues - extremely irritating

If your loading bar isn't moving at all then you should alt-F4 and reload DDO. You will then get the amazingly informative 'There has been an error' message when you try to login as that character again, but then it should work after that.

You'll know you're stuck because a /logout (typed blind at the loading screen) will not do anything. If, instead, a /logout results in a black screen, then you're not bugged and should just hang on.

From running on Risia, this problem only occurred a first character login, not while zoning between instances - if you're having problems entering a tavern then it's a different problem (perhaps lag related to everyone logging on at the same time)
