Hotbar causing crashes

[deggial]

I had the same thing happened. I had some items in my hot bar, then, as I wanted to switch some bags, I moved them to another inventory slot. Next time I zoned, I got stuck at Updating enviroment map. In order to solve it, you must clear the hot bars that have items.

SOLUTION:
Assuming that hot bar 1 does not have the problem:
Remove or rename your server_char_eq2_settings.ini file, so that the UI reverts to default. When you log into the game, type /clear_hotkey_bank X, where X is the problematic hot bar that causes the problem. If it's the 3rd bar that contains inventory items, then type /clear_hotkey_bank 3. Then, you can use your old .ini file again.
