yup cant get into a single round without trying the alt tab trick, but then i find half the stuff is missing , no HUD no map no chat


worst patch everrrr ( and i was around in closed beta for the artenis fiasco)



oh not to mention that the brightness / gamma is all way up and wrong now so even normal maps looks like frozen city blizzards

Oh good, the latest match I finally get into...7 minutes AFTER the game has started, and my team is all dead.

[BananaNutMuffins]

its not just the non americans who have this problem im in texas and cant log into any match on 3 different computers all up to date nvidia ati it dosnt matter. It seems it has something to do with pings anything over 150 and it just hangs after the map loading screen to a black one alt tabbing abunch of times does nothing me. ruined team practice tonight.

[Darkblood]

alt-tabbing seems to help me. I get the black screen and alt tab in and out till I get in. Usually can do it before the match starts.

[Uyama Kurita]

Happening here too. Only 1 successful load into match out of 10 tries or so.

Something is definitely wrong with this patch. Does PGI not do testing prior to releasing patches?

[Philmebeer]

Same here in Melbourne Australia. Ping has gone way up over 290 and sometime up to 400. Normally 220 - 250 range. All drivers are up to date. Omicron.log sent via PM

[Marj]

Same here - Australia. Using an old nvidia driver, downloading new one now.

[Sudden Reversal]

Add me to the list of disgruntled Antipodeans.

Last vestiges of Premium Time ticking away while I cannot play.

Must be PGI telling me to stop playing.

[Uyama Kurita]

Especially telling is the lack of official response to the large number of complaints about this.

Understand this PGI. If we cannot launch into matches, we cannot play the game. This is a large step down the path of losing your playerbase.

[Marj]

Alt tabbing seems to fix it. First game switched back and forth 15 times, in before the game started. Second time worked after switching screens 4 times.

[Primetimex]

This black screen is a "showstopper" Ie. we can not play the game. Can we be compensated for our premium time while you twiddle your thumbs along with lack of official response to this bug?

[enerider]

Reinstalling helped a lot - now I can Alt-Tab to get past the black screen and chat works again

playing from NZ 230 ish ping same black screen issue
also no text chat if i join a game late

[SLAK Ghost]

Hello. Just saying hello to all the other non North Americans!

+1 on this problem. My ping is usually 260+.

Map splash for just a second before black screen wait. Seems worst in the Cicada than in my Stalker or Atlas for some reason. Perhaps they are giving the Assault mechs a head start.

I suspect this is a coincidence, I have gotten in game a few times without alt tab while sometimes I have alt tabed 20 times with no result.

[SLAK Ghost]

Oh, and for that crazy Kiwi, I cannot text either if I join late. No more banter about sheep.
