same issue, exactly as described in original post, also a steam user
same issue, exactly as described in original post, also a steam user
Same thing here, Steam user. Game launches into a black screen and nothing happens. The ingame cursor is visible , but that is it. Game can't be closed, except with task manager. I did a fresh install and a PC restart. Will SE fix that? Im kinda new...
Worked for me, thanks! :) I tried submitting a bug after logging in and the entire game just crashed lolA temporary fix for the issue until SE fix the Steam Overlay integration that is causing this
1. Launch the game through Steam
2. Log-in with your account details, but DO NOT press the Play button
3. While the launcher is on the screen where you can see the Play button, launch the Task Manager, and end the Steam process
4. After Steam has been forcibly closed, press Play
5. The game should work as normal
Still not working without the workaround, both on launch & exit.
Same issue as everybody with Steam : after cliking play on launcher, blackscreen never vanish until mouse click and shutdown game.
The fact an emergency hotfix hasn't been announced is puzzling.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
I have the same Issue playing through steam. Is any looking into fixing this because I've not been able to play for 3 days now.
I praise you and Purplebun.
