I can log into the servers fine, my characters are all still there as well in the selection screen... however when I try to load a character the game loads for about 1-2 seconds and then freezes. Windows just says 'not responding'. I've tried this across several servers, so it's definitely a problem with the client.

Worth noting I guess that I'm using the EQEmu Launcher to start, since it patches for specific servers. Though IIRC even if some files were wrong cross servers it should just display dodgy missing textures and such, not a complete freeze.

Sys Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64b
Intel i5 2500k @ 3.3
Nvidia GTX 570
12gb ddr3 1333 (which I should note the client only detects as 4gb)

I have updated my OS since I last played the game, and I'm using the same installation as before. Oh, I'm using Seeds of Destruction client as well. I might just try reinstalling if no one has any obvious suggestions.

[EDIT] Forgot to mention it tells me I own 0 of 0 expansions in the server list, which I find a bit strange. It used to display all of them. Didn't stop me from joining servers, but maybe that's why I freeze on game-load.
I have stopped supporting the Launcher since the support for it has dwindled.

The Launcher does create a backup folder within the directory you have launched the program. Restore your files and don't use it.

Let me know if that helps.
