I just came back to DDO two weeks ago and I've had this same issue now three times. I'm in game playing and get a long load screen between zones followed by a connection timeout. The real problem is that when I restart DDO and choose that character from the Character Selection screen, I get a 4m20s (probably a dumb dev joke) load screen at 0% followed by "The connection to the server has been lost!" I AM able to log on to other characters when this happens. The first time I submitted a ticket on Standing Stones website and they fixed it *somehow* after about 16 hours. The second time it resolved on it's own after a day or two, maybe from a server reboot. This third time it's been 2 days and I still can't log in to that one character. Just submitted another ticket. I've tried rebooting my PC/modem, mucking with connection speed and DirectX versions, even a client uninstall/reinstall. Any ideas how to work around this without waiting on slow tech support to fix it?
