We just wiped my system and went back to Win7. Installed dxredist 2005 to get the client to run. Made sure d3dx9_30.dll was present. Same exact result. Buttons on char select do not respond to mouse. Can log in if I hit enter instead, but all the npcs and my character seem "jittery", like constantly shaking. Walking speed is extremely fast as well.
Have also ruled out WAN/firewall issues, by bringing pc to LAN and connecting. Server VM has firewall completely disabled. Other pcs on both LAN AND WAN able to play without problems, on both win7 and win10. This rules out the server and firewall/router.
Same exact copy of client from working machine being used, so this rules out the client as well. Clearly the issue is with the pc itself. Client version from logs below.
If anything else might be helpful in diagnostics, let me know.
