Freezing when logging in

[Chikorita]

I haven't played for a while and just decided to come back to the game. I did get the game to run, but then at some point I crashed my client and couldn't get back in again. The next day I tried again and it worked. Then I crashed again at some point and again I couldn't get back in. The next day it worked again. It worked fine for two days then today I tried to log in and it never crashed - it just won't work.

I am able to log into p99 green and see my character. I login with the character I want and then it goes to a black screen and the music/sound starts looping over and over again (around a 1 second loop) and no matter how long I wait, it never loads the actual game.

I've tried reinstalling and rebooting and a number of other things including updating WinEQ2. I'm running this on Windows 11 and it's the same computer I used to play on without ever having this problem. So, something weird is happening and I'm hoping someone has had this problem before and could suggest some solutions.

Thanks
