Issue Found? Loading hanging on Protector's Enclave

I believe I have determined the issue behind this problem.
I think the problem comes as a result of players setting their graphics details too high. Particularly with respect to character distance and texture detail.
When logging in to Protector's Enclave, particularly in an area with a high player count such as the auction house, the server must immediately send data for all characters such as their physical appearance, clothing, enchantments, etc in addition to dynamic world content. This must cause something along the way to choke.
I have found that reducing the character related detail settings closer to standard resolved the issue immediately without having to resort to safe mode.
Can others please try this? Thanks. Hope it helps.

Another thought. Did you completely close the program or just log out. Just wondering what gets cached and when that cache gets cleared.
It was only the once or twice and only on that day. Like Grimmrec further down, it was my level 60 that had problems loading. I did not change graphics or any settings to get in.
PLEASE FIX THIS B U G ! ! !
They probably added some optimization that doesn't sit well with lots of video card drivers or something. Safe more works fine, and you can up the graphics detail to max again once in game (PE) but entering the zone remains dicey.
Do this after you've logged in, but before you've selected the character you wish to load. The Options button should be on the lower lefthand side of your screen.
Select the character that's been having the issue and it should load properly, and quickly, but your game will look horrible. Once in-game, reset the graphic sliders to your choosing.
Many people have reported that other workarounds such as "Safe Mode" etc. do not work, and I have found the same to be true for me also.
This is the ONLY way I can get my Main level 60 to load into Protector's Enclave when first loading the game.
This IS a consistent fix yet it is very strange that only specific, usually one character, is plagued by the issue. As a Founder I have 5 Characters and only one has this problem - my main level 60.
my fps in questing and dungeons is 50fps or so but around the trade market it drops to below 15fps It was higher but the game overheated my better video card and I had to downgrade. I still had connection problems around the TH however.
What Class Are You?
That's the last time I ever log out near the AH.
I know that during the entire few weeks of playing I have never run into this condition. I just recently increased the texture distances and this started occurring. I would say, this is a very likely conclusion.
