    It's an issue at our CDN Provider which services all of our titles, that's why its affecting all of them unfortunately.

    any way of bypassing this issue?

    Not a consistent one that has worked for all players, which is why I haven't shared one. There are a couple solutions that have worked for people in this thread but I can't guarantee any of them will.

    This is becoming a problem. I try and be respectful and not complain but i'm going on day 4 of not being able to log in and play the game I am paying to play. I preordered the expansion so I could try out some beta. We are missing out on Heroes Fest, Missing out on subscription days, Missing out on beta days, Missing out on daily quests we cant go back and get the extras on, Missing out on overseer quests we cant complete or restart. With the limited player base we have left, This is basically a disaster. Tried all the different solutions the player base has thought of but im sorry, Daybreak its time for you to get it together. 4 Days of having what, hundreds of players not be able to play, Should mean thats the ONLY thing you are trying to fix and constant updates as to why we should even stay. This game has an amazing history and imho is a great game in most cases. But that being said , if you cant play, people will move on, and we need all the players we can to stay....

    Be careful using the "unplug/plugin" internet fix... it bypasses zone loads and i fell thru the world 3 diff times in 1 hour... apparantly the zone files were bypassed and parts of the world my guildies had were not there for me and i was falling thru the world left and right...each zone i froze and had to use the unplug/plug thingie.....eventually within 45 minutes i just had to log.
    At the point i logged i started the launcher.. and let it run thru the " downloading assets" before selecting play... well that took over 3 hours..............it has NEVER done that.. so instead of selecting play i am now going thru the " Validating Assets" to make sure the "unplug/plug " stuff didnt screw my files up..


    Of course my roomie is having no issues at all and we share the comcast hookup...i currently while during downtime have constructed voodoo doll of him....

    Try disconnecting your desktop from the internet when on 99% then reconnect a few seconds later. It worked for me, although I have to continue doing it every time I zone
