Black screen after logging in

Postby Hotodogu » Tue Oct 11, 2016 12:58 pm

Hey guys I just downloaded the game and after logging in I am stuck at a black screen with my cursor. I updated my graphics card driver a few days ago so that can't be the problem. Does anyone have a fix?

Did you try deleting and redownloading the .exe? It might of downloaded wrong.

Yeah, couldn't remember the filename for Java so used .exe since most people recognize it haha. And odd, is it a new or old character and also have you updated your java?

Hey! I have the same problem now : the black screen after loggin in. In the past, when I was playing the game, it worked (I have the same isp provider).
The same problem i have it on my laptop, so its not a PC problem. besides, when I connect to the interner via Data connection (3G/4G via phone) I can connect to the game, and actually play.

things I tried:
*remove the router from my "network", doing a direct connection (modem).
*the DNS- workaround

*my ip address (dynamic): 79.113.59.219 (romania) - the unworking ip :)

Please reply if there is others things/ideeas to try to connect to the game, OTHERS that the VPN...thing.


have a nice day !

The screen staying black without any error message typically points at VPN/ISP issues.
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.
