You're right though, seems like all there's left to do is hope they fix it, or use a different computer that doesn't have these issues. I suppose I'm lucky in that matter, as my laptop works fine, but... it's kinda frustrating that there doesn't seem to be a "simple fix" for those who don't have an alternative option :/
Ahhh yes you are lucky lol. I have no alternative unfortunately. But I think I will still login and just do my daily roulettes and other "non-endwalker" stuff. I abandoned my MSQ at the first EW dungeon after just forcing myself to put up with it for the sake of playing EW but it was just making me resent the game and SE for not fixing this during the extra 2 weeks they had to find and fix bugs. So I will just be patient and wait for the fix before I continue. It's not the end of the world, it's uber disappointing, especially seeing all my FC mates and friends enjoying the game without me.... But I guess I will just have some catching up to do.
