7 months ago - This type of soft lock is probably happening because the server needs to release you from event lock. Since the event failed to start due to not loaded yet, it can't release you.
- From my understanding you can break soft locks by "blinking" your character. Next time it happens change your equipment and it should break the lock without the need to cash your client.
What does this bug affect? Your character gets Soft Locked
Steps to Reproduce To reproduce this you need to zone into an area and interact with an NPC or anything else like an Auction House while it still shows downloading data at the top of the screen.
Expected behavior You should NOT get Soft Locked
Additional context This happens a lot when using outpost warp and talking to an NPC to teleport before downloading data finishes or getting teleported and talking to a renting chocobo npc. I have to crash my client to fix the issue.
