I haven't been able to actually find the answer on the forums, just a bunch of people who think they are more intelligent than everyone else saying it is this or that and constantly being told their ideas don't work. I had just signed up again today to try the new combat system. Never had issues before and now, I can't even get to the character screen. Just a black screen that loads and loads but never goes anywhere.
Drivers are up to date. I don't have team viewer installed. I placed all exe's in the game folder to run as admin. Still nothing. Currently reinstalling the game. Oh, I have more than enough computer for your precious minimum requirements. Please by all means tell me another one. Do I have to stand on my head while pressing engage?
Every tech person here that thinks this is my first MMO and first computer. I have beta tested 20 - 30 mmos including this one. I know the silly steps. Not posting my DXDiag because it's getting to be very obvious that has nothing to do with the issue.
If there is a solution and I missed it, please point me to it so I can get in and play.
Oh, and WishStone can just stay away from this post as he likes to close threads without attempting to help or even read about the issue.
Mhh your first problem is also recognized by me, but a simple alt+tab or ctrl+escape (minimizing) and returning to the game solved that for me.
For the long loading times, Ive read that you've just came back and want to test out the new ground system.
In this time, cryptic introduced the Mini-patching, and its standard enabled.
This means that it will no longer download the whole Season 4 patch but rather download the pieces bit by bit while playing the game. (This can be the cause of your longer loading times)
This option can be disabled at the launcher in 'options'
Not sure if this all helps you or not, but at least i tried ^^
CheerS!
