Anyone else having trouble switching characters?

I've recently noticed since the last patch (or the PIC one) that when I quit game to switch to another character, MS just closes down on me, but only about every other time. Is this just me, or pretty common?

Friend of mine says this happens to him frequently.

i get a black screen when trying to switch characters sometimes but that's about it. just started happening a couple days of ago.

I get that black screen too, its too annoying.
Oh yeah sometimes happens too when I CC at apq place.

It also happens to me when going or exiting MTS. Usually I get dced (black screen, just frozen, or maple exits with completely). It started last weekend. CCing was a problem too until yesterday. Also, after I dc and try to go back on, maple usually gives me the "check your firewall or it's a SC" message a few times before it starts again.

Never happens to me. :f6:

I get this same problem. Usually when I log on my NLC mule, I store whatever I need and quickly log off, but then I get a prolonged black screen until the Login screen finally shows up for a split second and then MS just closes. Pretty annoying...

This happens a lot to me too. That's why I start MS via the desktop icon after logging in to the website.

Does that help the dcing problem?

Right now, I log in from the website and keep the site open. It seems to make my dc problems a little less frequent but it may be superstition.
