n/a, was my retainer "Puka"

Monster Name:
None

In-Game Time:
Can't tell; the partial UI lockup causes the clock to disappear

Steps:
When I summon my second retainer, "Puka" in any market ward, the UI partially locks up. It is stuck on the screen as if waiting to summon the retainer. The Retainer menu has disappeared, but the UI clock has not reappeared, and I am unable to access any of my menus. I cannot /clock, /logout, or any other text command. I can, however, talk in /ls, /s, /sh, etc. I -can- summon my retainer "Puka" from a retainer bell. When I force-quite the game, I log back in, my retainer has not appeared.

Update: Okay, its not as pervasive as it was before; now my second retainer is only failing to appear in Mender's Row in Ul'dah. All the other market wards appear to be functioning. But any time I summon "Puka" to the Mender's Row, I get the partial lockup in the UI and have to force quit.

Thank you for filling out the form to report your concerns with summoning retainers. I can understand how very disruptive it can be to have your UI freeze, so I have made sure to submit your information to the development team for further investigation. I recommend checking on this thread for any details about the investigation. Thanks again for your report!
