Insane load times and crashes

[Droog007]

I'm having similar problems.

Lately, I typically fly right up to the server select screen, but after that my experience ranges widely.

Sometimes I get stuck at server select with a wait cursor until I eventually fail back to the login screen.

Sometimes I advance to black screen that takes anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes to progress to character select.

Entering the world and changing zones either takes forever, crashes out after waiting a while, or just gets to some point in the process and just hangs.

Other times it works great... but once I'm in the world I dare not try to zone or camp unless absolutely necessary.

My wife plays on the same network and has been having 0 problems. Seems to point to my PC, but I haven't changed anything other than maintenance-type things after the problem started manifesting.
