0.4.0 deadlock detected

Error: Deadlock detected.
Happened after accidentally pressing alt in a map with a lot of loot. Unable to create a bug report because logging back in is impossible (I believe because when you log back in, the lootfilter is disabled for a split second).

Right now it's also impossible for me to login. I can login but the loading screen after having selected my character will crash with "deadlock detected", sometimes showing the map for half a second and then still crashing.

Why are these issues still present in PoE2... PoE1 has similar problems with maps covered in loot.

I guess the only workaround is simply waiting until the entire instance is deleted but if you got a party member with the same problem, it could take hours before you can login again due to that party member retrying over and over again, constantly refreshing the 'instance deletion timer'.

There should also be an option to force spawning in your hideout/empty town after login or something for both games.

EDIT: Apparently we can relog into our hideout. This will at least fix the problem from reoccurring over and over again.
