When I get to the splash page (with update notes), I click "Login" .. then is says "Talking to server, please wait ...". And the status at the very bottom of the page says "Logged In, waiting for character list" but it never goes to the character select page.

I've done plenty of troubleshooting, no network changes but tried multiple networks anyway, no software/Windows updates, uninstalled/reinstalled the game, but same issue.

Only happened since downloading patch and was working the night before.

A wireshark .pcap strangely shows bits of in-game global chat so it appears I'm logged in.

Any ideas?

Thanks
