Shaun Iwairo DUST University Ivy League 138	Posted - 2015.10.17 09:21:00 - [1] - Quote Just a bit of information to hopefully help with this: Players that have spawned into a black screen have their character model in what looks like a default, un-animated pose but their arms are down by their side rather than stretching out. They can move but it's only their legs that are animated. It was possible to interact with them, I could melee a blue and I would see their shield effect go off. When I had a black screen and I suicided, as soon as the death animation started the scene began rendering in. I've cycled between spawn > black screen > suicide > pick somewhere different to spawn > black screen etc. a few times today (yay apex suits) and eventually I would spawn correctly (except for the few times we backed out because squad mates). I wish I was taking more notice, but I can't remember seeing any pattern to it. Hope that helps a bit. EDIT: Another thing, it seems to be specific to the battle. I could tell when I got one because I'm a slow spawner (lol playing Dust from Aus) and I'd get a lot of 'x committed suicide' at the start. Spawning in usually confirmed it. It didn't appear to happen to everyone though as the objective would usually get hacked in the normal amount of time. If you didn't get any suicides at the start then it was usually not going to happen at all. Something is killing new player retention.

Now you tell me how many friggin games out there have to do this? Black screen lagfest = fun times. What ever. To be fair, even if it doesn't work it still helps the people trying to fix the problem to rule out corrupted data. Something is killing new player retention.

Add this with the fact that the scene also starts rendering when you enter into a death animation, it seems something consistent has been found. Something is killing new player retention.

We believe that the upcoming change in the next downtime at 11:00 UTC will resolve this. Please let us know how it goes after the server comes back up at that time. Awwwww yisssss!
