Hey new Player here. I would select a character and load in once the loading bar hits the end my screen would go black and i can still hear the music. I have sat for as long as 20 mins waiting but nothing would happen. I dont know what the issue is i played before no problem this was happening prior to this update and it still wont let me play. Yes i have the game through steam and verified files and also did a scan through the launcher no problems detected. Please help.

Same problem.

When I load the game, change settings on the main menu (before server/character), select a server, then go back to server selection, it loads, goes black to redraw the screen, and nothing.

It has never happened when I don't change settings - I can go back to server just fine.

They definitely have a hiccup when switching from a "loading" to a "loaded and ready to display" state.

Try reinstalling your graphics drivers from the website of your GPU provider. It helped in the past when the game loaded to a black screen with music
