Topic: Unable to get past loading black screen

All that happens each time i go to login is this:
Select char > Loading terrain > Completes to black screen > nothing for upto a few minutes sometimes then error recovery comes up and says failed to find the dump files.

As devs are unable to move chars into terminals and only along terrain seems im pretty much buggered for bothering to do anything. As nice as it is to know theres lots of people around tm-a would be nice to see them. [as im guessing thats probably the issue.

well heres the crash dumps that have finally starting being put into the folder Gargaj but still not being sent to the server.

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

I am also having the same issue.

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

The issue for Steeldragonz has been worked around; Warshadow, do you have a second character which works? If so, find a DEV ingame.

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

My secondary character has the same issue as this one. I cannot get past the black screen at all into the game interface after the terrain is loaded. It does however play the music at the blackscreen as if it loaded but crashes inevitably asking to submit the report yet none is found.

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

I am crashing too just after I pick a character and the terrain is loaded, but my crash reports seem to go to the server without any problem. However I cannot play the game with either of my two characters. I have never seen the inside of the game, just FYI... sad

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

Dittos, continuous crashing @ 'Deploying to Terrain' screen. Get 'Error: Crash Data Not Found' or something like that. Will try other account.

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

how much ram do you have in your pc's and what gfx card[how much memory is on it too] you are using.

I have 4GB Ram and an AMD 4870 GPU with 1GB GDDR5

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

hmm thats very odd. as i thought it might of been a gfx memory thing. see. the workaround i use is to have a second char out in the wilderness away from the terminal and other players that i log on first [as its only the first deployment to the terrain that gives me an issue if there are alot of people around the terminal].

then it doesnt matter after that first deployment each client run, as long as i have already deployed to the terrain once using the second char the game run with no problems. hmm, what you may need to do is try and organise a time when you are going to log on with a dev, so when you do and your char is in the cache they cvan moveit to a empty spot, so your second attempt will be in a clear low /zero population area[as this is something i worked out during obt was the problem on some systems -not sure why yet still working on that] then either take this char to the terminal or you can log off and make a new char and leave that one in the wilderness. and take the first back to the terminal to play like notmal [its not a pretty workaround but it works]

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

I to am stuck on Deploying to Terrain... I have yet to get in. I just installed the client.

Re: Unable to get past loading black screen

Having the same issue: Downloaded the clent yesterday got to the login screen made a char. So far so good. Clicked the char to the load terrain screen. Loads the full bar or almost the full bar gives me a black screen for atleast 30 secs then returns to desktop. Gives me the popup to report then says server error: couldn't find crash log.

Created 3 diff chars from each corp all end up with the same issue. Uninstalled/reinstalled.
Sometimes sound keeps playing but sounds laggy. Haven't seen the ingame so far and out of possibilities.

Intel dual core 2.6g
Ati radeon hd 4890 1gb
1gb of ram

greets
