Sorry to kind of necro this thread, but has anything been done about this? I’ve had the issue since I first installed. Yes, I AM on win 7, yes, I also get the “leave queue” dialog when I try to back out of the “retrieving character list”. It takes easily 2-3 minutes to load the list, which, whatever, I can wait, everything else works awesomely and I’m just thankful to be “home” in City regardless, but I wouldn’t be upset if this problem went away.
