Stuck at loading screen (85-90%)

Hello all,

I'm new to the game and cannot get past the charachter selection screen. I created a character, but after pressing play, the game loads to about 85~90% and then just stops loading - note that it did not freeze as the animation is still playing.

I tried all of the "old" solutions provided on the forums:

1) reboot pc

2) reinstall multiple times

3) reinstall using non-streaming technique

4) alt+enter during loading screen

5) alt+z during loading screen

6) added the game as an exception to my virus scanner and firewall

7) login to server, then switch servers, and switch back again

8) try to login on different server (both europe and american server)

9) removed the "DiskCacheArena" file multiple times

10) removed the .xfr files and config

None of those methods worked. Any other suggestions?

Added is a screenshot of the game to the point is can actually load the game and the dxdiag generated by the launcherDiag.exe

    This is caused by a odd thing in that the currency settings that affects the game like this.

    To get around this follow the below

    Press the Windows key and select settings

    Go into Time and language, select region and language on the left

    Click additional date, time & regional settings

    Under region click the link for change date, time and number formats

    Click additional settings at the bottom

    Click either reset , or ensure . is decimal symbol and , is digit grouping symbol

    Want currency to display as $ 1,000.00  and not as $ 1.000,00

    Confirmed, I recently have been toggling back and forth from the "Star Forge" North America server to the "Darth Malgus" Europe server.  I think this is messing with the region, not letting me log in.  Resetting the region to UK and back to US in my PC seems to fix this for me.
