Hoping somebody here has some answers for me as I am unsure of what the issue could be at this point.

So I tried to come back to XI after a fairly long break, only now when I start the game regardless of vanilla, windower, etc. My game goes into "Not responding" on the character select and screen before. Never fully crashes just sits there.

Have tried to enable simplified character creation as a few pple on other forums said it solved it for them but unfortunately did not help my case.

Thanks in advance to anyone that may have answers!

Sounds like firewall, virus checker, or your connection is timing out or something.

Not responding means it lost the connection to the server.

Don't think its my connection as I don't have this issue with any other game. Black Desert online, FFXIV, Ark: Survival Evolved(steam), etc. All those are fine.

Checked firewall was 2 different POLs in there and each was set to either Public/Private. Put both instances to both public and private.

I can get in the game now actually so thank you! However for some reason after hitting the "Play" button where it takes you to the blue "accept or decline" screen it goes into not responding for like a minute or two when trying to pull up that screen.

Something is definitely interfering with your connection to the XI server.

Do you have controller enabled but dont have that controller plugged in? Mine crashes like this and it is a reminder for me to connect my xbox controller! About 30 seconds after I connect, all is good.
