okay... Stuck on the Loading screen after each update happens.

I'm not getting this. posted once before on the problems/tech forum, but this is REALLY starting to tick me off. Yes yes yes yes, I know you'd rather I plastered this somewhere else, but I'm tossing it out there anyway.

Last few times they've updated the game, right after the update downloaded I get stuck in the 'Loading Screen' limbo.

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone else figured out how to correct it?!

If so...

HOW?!

-going slowing insane with a tech issue she thought was fixed.

    How about thread titles that actually tell people what the thread is about? More likely to find someone replying something useful, or at all?

    This. So much this.

    Have you tried running the game in safe mode, then upping the settings once your in.

    can't run in safe mode as it doesn't even get past the INITIAL loading screen. So can't access options. Going to look at the Loader. Maybe it'll let me do that.

    You can run safe mode from the launcher, it's under options

    I used to have this issue - try In the launcher under options, go to command line, put in the following '-d3d11Enable 0'

    Yep. Had to put in it safe mode through the Loader. Worked. but unless I can fix the problem, which I still don't know the cause of as it has something to do with what they've done in the update, I may be stuck with a less than desirable visual.

    ah well.

    better than being unable to access the game at all, I guess...

    Thanks for the tip, @anyonka. Completely forgot about that access point.

    No problem, it doesn't work for everyone but it's worth a try.

    game crashed when I tried to use warp.

    Loading screen came up and locked up.

    It was fine as long as I didn't GO anywhere.

    Did you check if " on demand patching" is disabled? That is a common cause for crashes.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    made sure that was off and then tried opening the game back up. Started reuploading the update AGAIN! maybe it'll work this time...

    That's an indication that it probably got stuck while downloading content for areas. Good luck down the road.

    I forgot to mention I enable "reduced file streaming" under advanced - options in game. this stopped the game freezing during map transfers. I enable this as soon as I get to the character screen.

    Unfortunatly i have to do this each time i load up the game.

    I think it may be down to certain graphics cards, but I don't really know. Some people will log on with out a problem, others like me have problems unfortunately.

    I get this every time, too.
    I've learned to leave it alone and about 3-5 minutes later the game starts just fine.
    Once it's done this I don't have to again until next update.
    It's doing something with textures i think.
