EQEmulator Forums - Client hangs when zoning into instances

Been dealing with this for a while and have been completely unsuccessful in diagnosing it. Hoping to get some more eyes on it.

Essentially when zoning into instances, there's about a 50% chance the client will hang permanently during loading. If you close the client and try to come back into the game it will hang again, while loading. I have to manually remove the player from the zone (unless the instance closes, then they are ported to bind on login).

It is not specific to races, classes, gm status, grouped, raid, solo, or anything else I have thought to check. It does not seem to be script related as I encounter the same issue whether they enter via script or I try summoning players into the zone.

As far as I can tell, who it affects is random. While I can't replicate it 100%, it's common enough that I can get a client hang within a zone or three.

From my dbg.txt, this is where it stops everytime the client hangs:
