Same issue. After 10min, I got an error message. I tried to log in again and after 2min, I managed to get the game started.
Same issue, I fixed it by updating drivers, but even then most UI elements are missing
Drivers are not likely to impact this issue. UI elements missing feels like game assets are missing, could be need to reinstall / repair.
Same issue. Had to restart
I waited for around 10 minutes and it finally moved on to the cutscene.
The character creation part of the game is probably enduring a lot of traffic. My advice is to be patient. Waiting for 10 to 15 minutes at the character creation screen is much better than waiting for an hour or so in the login queue!
same thing just happened to me
idk what i expect from a glorified mobile game though
glad i refunded my pre order last week!
Same issue. Now back to another half hour queue.
Smash your ESCAPE KEY to get out of this hell without having to queue again.
Mine eventually started the into cinematic after a 10min’ish. Give it time and it might let you avoid the queue.
This worked for me too.
