Game crashes after logging in on any character

[Justsomeguybro]

After fixing another, unrelated issue with the launcher I ran into another problem. Details below.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Launch octo-wow launcher
2) Press play
3) Sign into my account
4) Log in on any character

END RESULT: Game crashes

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS:
- Cleared WDB folder, manually and using the "always clear WDB at launch" option
- Ensured add-on memory was set to 0
- Disabled all add-ons
- Disabled all launcher DLLs
- Tried the above in various combinations between different characters as well

Hope this helps. Let me know if anything else is required to assist with investigation efforts.

Figured it out, but holy shit what a ride... In a nutshell: It was the octo launcher going to system tray, and then popping back up and forcing window focus onto itself. This, somehow, would interfere with keyboard input, and the mouse was still usable- but that was it. At first I thought it was a crash that didn't completely nuke the running wow instance, but instead it was just the forced focus on launch window.

I disabled the "minimize to system tray" option and it's gucci now.

Nevermind... Now game actually crashes 100% of the time when I log in on my druid.

Can't play the game currently

This started happening for me as well after updating the launcher (?)

My game just freezes up after login and entering the world, but no crash or error so far.

Latest update helped, and I was able to log in again without automatically crashing. However after playing for a while longer I tried to swap to travel form and immediatley crashed. I suspect that the changes to the client might be causing indigestion with the Turtle HD patches.

Removed the Turtle HD Modpack and things seem to be stable for now.

Just for giggles, and to satiate my paranoia, I re-downloaded all of the Turtle HD Modpack (the relevant modules and all dependencies for the ones I use). Same issue arose. Removed them, and able to play again.

100% the update introduced something that gives the client indigestion whenever the HD Modpack is used.

I got the same issue, could play on my main, but when switching to my hunter alt I can log in for like 5 seconds before the game locks, and stays there, clicking anywhere just crashes the game.
