Stuck at 96% loading, game will not start

Well when the servers were down I could get in no problem. Now they are back up and I'm stuck at 96...

We are the 96%...

Yep same here 96% and stuck

Same here; I even rebooted like someone suggested.

First time I had the 96% issue - but either Steam or SOE f***ed it up.

Tried the "verify cache"-thingy with Steam; 4086 files will be downloaded - so in normal speaking "The whole game"
So, as an advise: Verify Steam files could be a bad way to fix it

And there goes my Outfit-Op

To the test server!

Sigh.. why can't they update their login server.. srysly soe?

I was stuck at 96% now I´m stuck at 98% lol.

Well, I'm past the 96% and am on the character page...stuck at loading screen now.

Got past the 96%, but now it hangs up at Character Select. Guess I just need to go distract myself and try again later.

I restarted my computer and now im stuck at the logging in screen after selecting my character

Share your magic with us.

Do you guys even compute?
Imagine how many guys are trying to do the same has you, stuck on the login server, now imagine what happens when a big ammount of people try to pass through the same door. That it is what is hapenning.

If not, validate game files, works for some and you do not lose anything.

-> 96% and stuck

Same.

Never do it through steam, so many people already said the same.
And btw, who does OPs in paches days, do not people learn?

But, but, I'm the skinny guy! I'm supposed to be able to squeeze through those narrow cracks between all those other "big" people and the door.

All to the test server guys

Guess today is not your day hehe

well guess its more like warthunder evening ;d
