50% of the Time I log in, I crash every time.

[August]

Ever since the most recent patch, here is what my EQ experience is like.

1) I log into EQEMU server select
2) I select P1999: RoK Blue
3) I go to character select screen
4) I 'enter world'
5) CRASH (without seeing the world, or character at all)
6) Load back up EQ
7) Select P1999: RoK Blue
8) "You currently have an active character...."
9) Two-minutes or so of waiting
10) Log into character select
11) Log into character - play all day.

Anytime I switch characters, the FIRST TIME i log-in, I crash and have to wait. I'm a patient man so I just have to log-in twice, which sucks, but whatever.

Known issue? I never once had my client 'crash' on me before this patch. Now it happens every time I try to log in, the first time, that is.

What do you need from me? I am computer literate, I have tried most things that are suggested outside of reinstalling. I use no additional UI (just the client UI).
