This has also just happened to me.
It's been fine in previous games. I never had this before the update we downloaded on 15/03/2013.
After patching, i played several games of all game types with no problems, but squadmates would tell me theyv'e blackscreened. At first it seemed to only happen to people spawning on the MCC in skirmish, but i've since found it's happening elsewhere.
It just happened to me on Ambush OMS, i was spawning with a freefit Assault - Frontline fit on a logi character.
What i found was that i could bring up the neocom, the map and the team screen.
If i pressed dpad down to bring up the map, followed by dpad up to bring up the team sheet, then cancelled out of both, i could then see again.
Once i could see i tested a bit..
Firstly holding R2 showed no equipment or guns at all. So firing obviously did nothing.
I could walk and crouch and jump, but i couldn't sprint.
I found a supply depo drop so i tried to hack it. It let me hack it and take it over.
Then i accessed the depo which showed me my fittings, i tried a few different fittings but they would not equip, each time i remained without guns and equipment.
I also could bring up the vehicle menu with dpad right, i selected to bring in the free fit LAV. However, on selecting it, nothing happened, no request was made.
That's about all i managed to test.. i also tried suiciding a few times from the Neocom to respawn and each time i was black screened again.
I have not had this problem previously, nor have i got this problem on other games or media on the ps3. This is soley down to Dust 514, due to the patch today.
This is what you posted today reguarding the patch:
"Dear players,
Today DUST 514 will go offline for an extended period of time starting from 11:00 GMT. Server is expected to come back up at 12:30 GMT. Today's hotfix will eliminate the bug that caused some players to disconnect after selecting their fitting in battle.
Thank you for your patience and understanding."
It sounds to me like you actually introduced the bug while trying to fix the fittings problem.
I hope this information helps.

Reading what noob45 has said... He's actually right.
It is a different issue to the majority of posts in this thread, but noob45, your right.. you have the same issue as the OP. It's all of us who assumed this was about the black screen when loading into a map who are in the wrong.. we've all jumped in here and changed the actual problem.
So to clarify:
(Problem 1):
there's 2 posters in here complaining about a loss of TV signal when 'launching the Dust 514 game', those posters being the OP and noob45. To you two, i appologise for having jumped on the bandwagon and commented on a similar but unrelated issue.
(Problem 2):
The majority of posts in this thread are about the blackscreen which happens when 'spawning in a 'battle' Which seems related to the patch we received on 15/03/2013, and has been detailed by many of us in here. Admins if you need more details, please recheck post #31 on Page 2 of this thread for as much information as i could collate on this. Post #33 also on page 2 adds further information, and Post #12 and Post #47 both mention they have recorded footage if required. |

I already mentioned how to get out of the black screen in Post #32
Dpad Down, Dpad Up, Circle, Circle
Which equates to:
Open the map, open the team sheet, cancel out of both
Then you can see.
For more details of my testing, go back to Page 2, Post #32. Others have posted additional details after that.
... .As for that vid that's posted just above here.. lol, that is awesome with the inertia dampeners.. Though it's also worrying just how many people are being effected by this.. that's 4 people straight off who can't contribute to the map. |

+1 So RE-INSTALLING fixes the problem ? FFS guys, stop complaining and read the possible solutions !!!
I believe that this glitch is more random than that.
Just to outline.. I in no way am related to CPP in any form of development, but i am a game programmer myself. So simply using an edjucated guess (Which could still be wrong). I believe that doing a reinstall will change nothing.
My explanation for why i believe this, i do not believe there are any corrupted files, in my perspective reinstalling will simply restore the files to the state they are currently in, then your just waiting on a 'random' occurance to happen again.
There doesn't seem to be any way to force yourself to get this glitch as yet from what people have reported, it may happen, or it might not, that is the nature of 'random'.
So personally i'll wait for a patch, and just provide feedback in the meantime.
On a seperate note, remember everyone... the game is still in Beta. Which is what we call builds when they are not 100% ready for mainstream release. Sure it's open beta, which means more people can join in, but in the eyes of the developers the game is still not ready. Therefore we are their eyes and ears, their testers and our feedback is important to a developer.
So there's two extremes, those who demand fixes and complain about the state of the game, and those who think that giving constructive feedback to the developers is 'whinging'.
What you should all be aiming for is a midpoint, where you are not 'blaming' ccp for the state of the game, but just submitting feedback so that they can use the information provided towards creating a fix.
The more testing we do and feedback we provide leads to a more well polished game.
So please don't whinge, please don't mistake constructive feedback for whinging, and please supply the developers with test case information which can help them resolve any issues.
The Dev's have seen this post and let us know they've seen it which we are grateful for. They've also said there may be information via the announcements forum, so we just need to keep our eyes out there for a potential fix. Until then, just continue to supply information from any testing you have done and i'm sure the dev's will be grateful for it.
Cheers.

Where do I find these "Announcements"? There is no forum section with that heading. Forgive me if I'm totally blind.
Here:
DUST 514 Forums -+ DUST 514 Information Hub -+ Announcement and Events
But currently there's no post about it, i keep checking back now and then. |
