Didn't see this post when making mine, I found the error and reported in my post, will copy paste it here:
"
When selecting "Select Character" from the in game menu (Already playing a character at this point), I get put into the character screen with all my character not appearing. While in that screen you can't make a new character, select switch server, or close the game. At this point you're force to close the game via Task manager and reopening it.
Way around this is to return to server select then return to the server you were in, lastly select the character you want to play. hope this get fixed soon.
Edit: from reply 3 in this topic.
here a vid of what happens. Seem you cna make new character but, cant exit game, or switch server.

Edit: After rewatching that video, i saw a messege. Interesting so it the same bug with when trying to switch servers aswell.
The messege says "The game is being stopped becuase of an attempt to log on the account"
So, it seem the game get confuse when i try to switch chars.
In a technical perspective, I'm assuming the program sends out two or more request to enter the character screen thus resulting into this error.

Well, it will send out multiple request so it can reach the server(standard networking), but the problem is when the server end up recieving the same request multiple time and it does not know that it was sent by the same user(uselly cause by delay on one or more request messeges). Thats the main problem. So, need to either reject consecutive request in a small time frame or add another layer on the request messege that identify that its the same user sending the request and using that to determine that the request is just a dupe and resend a recieved messeg to the user that sent the request.
