Perpetually Loading Inventory

Let's set aside how horrible the entire new inventory system is for a minute...

Having to relog all the time to do anything inventory related due to this perpetual loading timer is making the game unplayable.

This problem seems to be happening more frequently the larger my inventory becomes.

If I have 10 ships in hangar no issue, If I have 50 and I want to hop into a new ship loading starts spinning and never stops.

If I attempt to access a container that mostly empty, no issue. If I attempt to access one thats jam packed it will be time to relog.

I never had any problems with the old system, why can't we just bring back the previous system already.

Several people (including me) have been having similar problems, although I don't see a thread for them on the front page any more. Most of them found that undocking while inventory spinning would result in blackscreen.

For me, originally I could undock and there would be nothing on the overview and nothing would load, but the right click menu would allow me to interact with things on the right click menu. One of the threads for the issue recommended clearing the mail cache, and after doing that now undocking doesn't load space at all -- the hangar stays in place, but stops working, and upon relogging I am in space sitting on the station.

Apparently, CCP has been unable to replicate the issue in house.

As I type this I am relogging for the fifth time trying to get a working session. Interestingly, the problem only seems to affect one of my characters.

EDIT: Assuming the problems are related, they seem to present in a variety of different ways. Several of them seem clearly related to the inventory in different ways, such as mine and yours; others result in blackscreen on logging in so it's impossible to tell, still others blackscreen on entering space.

Hold the phone. I might be on to something.

I started a new run of logins and found that it failed 3 times out of 10. I think the running average is around 1 time out of 2. Then, I switched ships from a T3 to a shuttle and the failure rate changed to 0 times out of 10.

If some or all of the inventory spinning issues are related to t3, if you could answer the following questions it might help nail down the issue:

1.Do you ever get inventory spinning upon logging in?

2.Do you ever get inventory spinning while not in a T3?

2a. If you don't, what subsystems do you have on it?

2b. If you do, are there T3 in your hangar? If you remove them, do you still get inventory spinning?

1. Yes, 4 out of 5 today
2. Yes, 3 out of 4
2b no T3s, 3 of my alts cannot even fly them.

This bug also prevents the planet list for PI loading, the overview, the asset tab, undocking means you can't see anything not in bracket or overview and cannot therefore go anywhere. You have to log in space, right outside a station to fix, in low null this blows chunks.

I am just curious how long did you wait for inventory to load, which system and how many items you have in station/POS?

In my main base I have several hundreds items spread across several containers. For me it take au to 10 seconds to load all the items. And I don't consider it huge assets list.

Gave up after 80 minutes, otanuomi, 39 items.
