Thread: Warden Log-in Issues

Is anyone else have issues logging your Warden in. I have no problem getting on any other toon but my warden takes several attempts. After trying to load for several minutes I get a connection to the server has been lost message. It only happens on my Warden and even if I am lucky enough to get in it takes 5 times longer than any other class. Curious if it is a class issue or just a bizarre coincidence that my connection issues only happen when on the Warden.

I believe this was happening right after Update 6. I figured it rectified itself though since I have not really heard anything about it lately. People may have just stopped complaining though. Ha ha. My point is, I saw others saying try logging into a different character first... log out of said character... and then log into the Warden. It seemed to work for them. Hard to diagnose connection issues though.

Hello,

It's still an ongoing issue, it takes twice as long to log on my warden as it takes on any other toon (in my case, Hunter, Burglar, Minstrel, Guardian, Rune Keeper, Champion and Lore Master).

Also, everytime I log in, I get the Inventory tooltip info panel on screen... It's annoying!

Cheers!

I can generally swap from another toon to the Warden but I am now even having problems with that.

Hm. Unfortunately I cannot really help you then. It seems to be like the lag issues. This one doesn't effect me though as I can log in perfectly fine all the time to my Warden and Hunter. Have you tried the LOTRO Client Defrag thing lately? Could be worth a shot. I do not know what else you could try though, sorry.

I cant even log in at all It takes ages to get to the world selection, with our without the automatic connect to last server, and then it just stands there and in the end I get some weird group box error and the launcher quits... I was last logged in about 22 hours ago...

DO NOT use the Defrag tool if you are running the High Res Client.. (see the top sticky in the Technical Support forum). I already followed the procedure outlined therein to correct the corruption cuased by it (and it annoys me a bit that it wasn't made more prominently clear not to do it), and it helped me, but there are still problems..

AGAIN: DO NOT DEFRAG HIGH-RES CLIENTS!

Most definitely this ^^ (I won't say "annoying," though, but completely mystifiying is on target). This baffles me. I'm not a programmer (though I played one for a while in College), but I don't understand what could cause a difference in logins based on class.. I look forward to a solution, as playability for me right now is next to nil. Lots of client crashes in general (unless I disable my audio, which is working correctly and using the most current drivers for my mobo, and even with audio disabled, I do eventually end up at the same client crashes.. Just takes longer). I really enjoy(-ed) playing this game when I didn't have these issues.. Be nice to get back to it sometime..

Here is the original thread in the support forum :

http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...en-not-loading

there are many people with the issue, and some workarounds are discussed in the thread. Honestly the fact that it has now been months with this problem with no resolution is crazy to me. Along with the lag problem that is ongoing and tonnes of other bugged and broken content it make it very hard to justify my monthly subscription.

Yup, still a problem with Bilbema, lvl 54 Hobbit Warden.

I reported it five weeks ago and I'm still doing the one idea a day email troubleshooting with the Turbine support staff. I have yet to receive the suggestion to do a complete reinstall of the game.

The problem has improved... I can now often get my warden to load up first out of the box. The lag is still horrible and she remains my only toon who lags out of the loading screen or crashes out of the game. The inventory usage tooltip persists. None of my other seven toons has a problem.

Several of the things that Turbine has suggested have done NOTHING for me. Others seem to have had a moderate impact.

One of their suggestions that did me the most good was to empty my warden's inventory as far as possible AND empty her vault spaces as much as possible. Send the stuff to your alts or put it into shared storage. Then completely log out and then log in straight to the warden. I don't know why that worked but it shifted my warden logs from "almost always fail" to "fairly often succeed." Because my alts all have their storage full and shared storage was full I ended up having to sell a LOT of my inventory. *much weeping* So I don't know if it was getting rid of something in particular or just making the game rewrite the inventory and vault contents. If you can afford to do it, see what happens.

Best of luck. Other people share your pain.

Ingiogal is my first toon but Bilbema is my warden.

Yep. Had the problem some weeks back, and then stopped having the problem after 6.1. The problem is now back and has persisted for around week or two. Cheeks isn't a happy camper right now D:

Sent in a ticket and was working with Turbine, but there's no way for me to get on to my Warden anymore without levelling a new toon to get into Mirkwood to do the workaround so I am of no use to them anymore.

I still have this trouble, too, for my 75 warden on Landroval. I have to remember when I first log in to log into another toon, even if the first one I want to do anything with is my warden.

If I open the game and attempt to log right into him, the client hangs. If I open the game and log into any other character, I get in. Then, I can go back to character select and get the warden and wait for 2 minutes while he loads. :/

Interesting.

I've been having this issue on my account for a while now. However, my wife wasn't having this issue on her account...

... until I added Rise of Isengard. I wonder if it's something to do with Rise of Isengard items?
