Black screen of death and odd resume game behavior

Yes, I have become "that guy" and stolen the old one... *hangs head low*

I'm honestly just excited to see content in Elysium and to have a variety of areas accessible across the map. The quality of life changes though... they are very special, and very amazing.

 

Yea my character is totally frozen at Twin Mountains.

I enetered to Blackscreen, Tried to zone out, had to use "start on world map"

Now when I enter the game with Resume I start on top of Twin mountains on the world map, and my keyboard and mouse don't work for movment or much of anything. I can do "esc" thank god, and they seem to work find in the menus but cant move character or pull up chat or use skills or anything.

If I use "start on world map" I get the black screen on 1st game load, which is weird cuz im already on the world map.

 

@all Testing 336 right now. Looks like there's still some things that need tweaking to get the blackscreen effect to go away. Still working on a fix. Thanks for your patience and support!

 

I was finally able to zone into Hometown without getting the black screen. I also zoned to several different templates within Hometown without any issue. So the latest build has definitely been a vast improvement for me at least.

 

We believe the issue involved loading into scenes with ambient light sources active like torches or the light spell. I would caution against having any active when changing a scene while we're still investigating. But glad to hear your experience has improved.

 

@all we have a promising build out today that we believe resolved the Black Screen issue. We encourage players to hop into QA to try and reproduce. Ideally it should be resolved as of build 337!

 

So far I haven't seen it in 337 but I'll keep running around to see if it happens more. Hopefully it's dead forever!

 

337 Looks good so far.
