This is an issue I have been experiencing since I first started playing DDO again around two months ago. Every time I log on to DDO, and pick a character, it takes upwards of 5 minutes to load, and then once it finally loads, I get the red connection symbol, and a few seconds later it says connection has been lost and the client closes (logging out during this doesn't work). After that, I am able to re-start the turbine launcher and run DDO again, select a character, and it loads in under 1 minute and works fine after that. I am able to close and re-launch DDO any time within a few minutes after the first successful launch and it works fine, but the first launch after a few hours without playing or after going into or out of sleep mode (closing my laptop and opening it) I get the red symbol and client shutdown. It gets a bit aggravating having to launch the client, close it, and launch it again every time I want to play. I am using windows 7 64-bit.
