i have a strange issue that started mid gameplay. i was sitting around east commons tunnel selling stuff for a few hours while watching tv, when someone asked if i could go to west freeport to hand an item over, i did so and after completing the trade and re-entering east commons my client froze. i tried at least 20 times to get back on to no avail, constantly freezing after 1-2 seconds of being able to move. i logged on everyone else, and can run around this same zone just fine.

After i delete my UI i can run around on the problematic character as normal. and i can also restore the UI when NOT in east commonlands and the game functions as normal. i have been running around for about 30 minutes now in north ro, east/west/north freeport/oasis, etc. but the second i go into east commonlands it freezes again and i have to erase my UI so it resets to default. anyone know what is going on? makes no sense to me. had no issues for almost 2 months and have not changed anything at all since i started playing on this server.

It's very likely that you have a corrupted UI file for that toon, so here's what ya do.

1. Find another UI file in your <eq_installdir>\UI_Workingtoon_project1999.ini

2. Make a copy of it and it should look like this <eq_installdir>\UI_Workingtoon_project1999 - Copy

3. Take your original UI file <eq_installdir>\UI_non-workingtoonaname_project1999.ini, and create a backup of it by making a copy of it and pasting it in the same directory. It should look like this:

<eq_installdir>\UI_non-workingtoonaname_project1999.ini - Copy

4. Delete the original <eq_installdir>\UI_non-workingtoonaname_project1999.ini

5. Now rename the functional UI file from <eq_installdir>\UI_Workingtoon_project1999 - Copy to <eq_installdir>\UI_non-workingtoonaname_project1999.ini

6. Login non-workingtoonaname

7. Profit


Hopefully that helps.
