This just started happening recently, but it seems like if I don't login and select a character fast enough, the game locks up, taking my computer with it. A weird high pitched screeching sound is played over the speakers and everything just stays frozen.
Initially I thought my sound card driver was funky, but even after updating it, I still have the aforementioned problem.
Any ideas?
Lockup at Login and Character Selection Screens?
