same here.

ever since last patch was installed, i havent played the game.
its either a blank screen..or if youre lucky game will load but expect colored polygons a minute into the game.
this patch sucks.

[MechDoble]

Add me to the pile of black screen on launch corpses ( Switzerland with a regular 150-160ms ping if that helps ). The map loading screen appears for me but then it'll go black for 5 minutes and spamming alt tab hasn't helped. Nvidia drivers ( GF 560ti ) all updated so it's not because I didn't do that.

[PanzerMagier]

It's now happening EVERY SINGLE ******* GAME.
Mega annoying

[Ancalagon]

Same over here, in New Zealand with an ATI Radeon HD 7970M, so it's probably not a driver issue.

I am, usually, the player with the shitiest ping when all games start, from Dubai, UAE..

After this patch, am getting this black screen when I launch a game and I cannot do anything about it.. Its annoying and alt+tab seems to do nothing..

I eventually get tired of waiting and quit the game..

I dont know what I will do with the rest of my life, If I dont get my daily dose of MWO asap!!

When a map actually loads, its usually on the end of game screen:

3 games, 2 black screen of death.....

[Darkkalen]

Same Issue too.. Aussie with 290 ping.. Plz Fix

[Jay Z]

15 games, black screen for over 1 minute in 12 of them. From Australia, ping always under 300.

[Lukestah]

Two attempts at playing the game post patch. Both time black screen and wait. First game managed to get into game after a couple of minutes wait with UI issues (IDFF missing, unable to get lock on for missiles, etc). Second game alt+tab+del and shut down the program. Fix this patch please.

[Caesar_NZ]

Same here.
Every game I have had I have to alt-tab out and back in to get the cockpit up.

[Winterchill]

Black screen of death for the win!! GJ

[Marneous]

Same crap. It's a server issue. PGI has a lot to answer for.

They need a quality control team/person that actually does the job... so that hot fixes aren't that frequent

Same issue here, persistant black screen. Training grounds works fine.

[Affront692]

If posible people should like the original poster so that the admins can see how many people have it and that its serious

[jeebers34]

Yep, same problem that everyone else is reporting, Aussie too. Tried to play one game, black screen, alt+tab repeatedly and manage to get into the game about 30 seconds after most of the rest of the team. Once I do get into the game, chat does not work (so I could not tell a moronic team mate to stop shooting me), minimap was also not working. I finally get into some combat and the targeting pip is not aligned with where my shots/lasers are hitting, a minute later the game completely freezes and I have to end the process.

Hmm, I really should not have started that founders premium time ticking down last week, thought I could trust PGI to not completely break the game...

[Darkkalen]

Just tested to see if the black screen happens with the Testing Grounds . Did this a few times, it does not,. All loaded up in no time and the map was fine, no black screen which seems to be something other than graphics related prblem. (mind you, still had HUD problems in one test but thats another story) .

Then tested a real match and the black screen was back, hung for a good 5 min before I was dropped into a almost finished match.
