Character Creation disconnects

Graycor · January 2021

Howdy!
Is there a trick to being able to customize your character in the creation screen without being logged out after like 3 minutes?
I have yet to be able to actually customize a character to my liking without rushing super fast to get it done before being kicked.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Oh noes. I've had that bug too, contact support through either the site, or the ticket-system ingame ^^
Feel free to tell them you're having the same issue I did including my un so they might be able to fix you the same way.

Maybe @ZOS_BillE could give you better directions? ^^

Are you getting a specific error message when getting disconnected?

@ZOS_BillE

Yes, it will say I've been logged out due to inactivity, even though I'm actively modifying the character.

Then, when I try again, the sliders will be in similar spots to where they were for the body, however, they're not actually at those spots in reality. So I have to move the sliders slightly, then back, to actually put it at that spot (like if it was all the way at the bottom for height, it's not actually there on the character... have to move it and then put it back at the bottom for it to be correct). This made me a bit crazy for a while wondering why a character I created was so tall, until I used a race change token and saw the height was actually in the middle, not at the bottom like it said on character creation. An annoying bug which wasted one of my tokens.

Exact error message:

Error 334 (3:1:1080:0)
Lost lobby connection.

I've recorded a screen capture of exactly what happens and posted it to youtube so support can see exactly what I'm saying since I'm not very good at explaining. I removed all addons before doing this.

I do a workaround to create characters with detail, while also avoiding the bug, take a look at the link.

Graycor · January 2021

This isn't a viable workaround for my situation. The issue occurs if I've logged in first with a character or not, if it's a new character, or if I'm using a race change token, I will only have a few minutes to customize, and nothing is appropriately saved so if I leave and come back, not only do I have to switch everything back, but nothing is actually where it says it is. Like if my height was all the way to the left, it'll still show as being there, but the character height is actually more like around the middle. Whole thing is messed up. Did a ton of stuff their customer support team has suggested to no avail.

This used to happen to me quite frequently (when I still had slots for new characters to be created). It happened a little less after I started using a VPN program.

To sort of preventing me from losing the progress, I always take screenshots of the sliders every 2 minutes or so. That way, if I get disconnected, I can "quickly" restore everything to where I was and then continue for a couple more minutes. But that is definitely not a solution.

@ZOS_BillE

Ya thanks homie I've been thru all that.

They sent my ticket to "advanced" support.
Then to the developers.

Waiting on some developer response I guess.
