Resolved an issue that was causing the Welcome Screen to no longer appear when first logging in.
Now it appears on every character login when changing toons - still not working correctly.

Are you seeing it when you switch to another toon, then switch BACK to the original toon? Original toon you signed into should NOT see the Welcome screen.
That is the way it is supposed to work.
Once for every character upon the first time selection, each time signed in from launcher.
You should NOT see it on subsequent selection of the same character from the selection screen, unless you log out.

I'm not sure about the OP, but it's popping up when changing characters virtually every time. I think it may not have on a couple of characters since the patch, but I definitely tried logging back onto a character that I had previously logged into that same session, and it popped up again for her. Like I said above, it appears to be rotating through different event announcements, so it pops up again each time one of the panes changes, which is consistent with observed behavior. If that's the problem, then it will continue to behave like this as long as it keeps switching between the 3 events currently running.
So, we get to figure out how it changed, then write bug reports and follow through to make sure they "get it".
Well...don't forget to add complete details.

Holodeck ticket 4,798,939: "Welcome Back" screen appears on each login (not only the first)
I've included a history of the bug going back to 05/10/2018, when the "Welcome Back" screen was added to the game.
No, what I'm saying is that the fix has nothing, or next to nothing, to do with why we're seeing it on (virtually) every character that logs in. What's causing that is that the events that it shows us aren't stable, lie they usually are. Rotating between Winter Wonderland, Tholian Red Alert, Age of Discovery and who knows what else can and does change the contents of the window from what it was when you last saw it, causing it to pop up on every character. This has been observed behavior of the Landing Page for months. The bug is that the thing can't choose a stable set of things to advertise. If I'm correct, then it will stop when the extra events being advertised expire, taking them out of the rotation, at 10 AM PST on Monday, assuming that they don't fix the issue internally before then, which they likely will not. I would expect that you will see it on every character one time the first time that you log in after that time, but that will probably be the last time that you see it on more than the first character that you log in with per session until the contents of it change again.
But you took a big step toward explaining in detail what you observed...That should help.

The point is its not supposed to working the way that it does now so its not working as intended. I'm glad you like it but few others do. The more characters you have the less likely that a player will enjoy that one extra press of the esc key. And you are right now outnumbered 11 to 1 lmao and I am going to guess you were one of the ones that enjoyed the FUN patch excuse for a balance pass too huh lol.
