Launcher Loads to black

Post#1 » Wed Apr 15, 2020 5:12 pm

Played fine for two days, after closing and reopening WAR my software loads to a black screen after clicking "connect". Uninstalled, reinstalled, same issue.

Looking at other threads but they all seem to have different issues.

There's been lot's of patchy type things going on which has meant server is up and down like a yo-yo, amongst other things.

Probably need a while for everything to settle down but it seems to be getting incrementally better. Dont worry too much until everyone else isn't seeing any issues I reckon.

The server has been up and down a lot recently - does it work now?

Same here. Tried on wife's computer and works fine. Computers are identical. Worked fine earlier. Just goes to black screen with intro trailer playing in background ( usually does that with patch unless I close launcher first) so not quite sure what wrong.

Can you move the files from your wife's computer onto yours?

I had 0 seeds on the torrent but I recovered the files from my Recycle bin. I see a lot about a "patch" but don't know where to find that. Most people look like they are saying the patch doesn't fix things but might as well get on the same page as everyone else.

Don't know if this is the exact same issue, but I could not get the game to load correctly with it going to the old server select window, etc.

I now have it working.
Usually I would access the game via the shortcut for the launcher on my desktop.
However, I got it to work by going to the game folder and opening the launcher there.
Since then the shortcut also works fine.

As I said I do not know if this is relevant, but I hope it helps.

tried switching to 32bit (which I notice this game runs as 32 bit even when I set it to 64 bit) and I get the following error:
