    I'm getting the same problem, I tried just letting it sit on the black screen to see if it was still loading, after 2 hours nothing changed.

    Maybe should have said "Moon returns with new features" to stop people from complaining.

    Mepps posted on another thread that they are investigating the black screen issue and the patch issue.

    Thank god no weapon mastery. Hopefully now that you're sober u have realized that removing the advantages of clipping is stupid.

    For a later hotfix in dcuo, make the sorcery weapon purple again, that would be great and I think a lot of sorcery users who had purple suits match their power or something would agree. :) Also, it would look a lot more attractive. ;)

    Ok, here's what I did...(currently using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)

    I had the game running in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode. I black-screened out every time I attempted logging in.

    I changed the compatibility mode for DCUO to Windows Vista (Service Pack 2). Viola! I'm in. Here's how you do it:

    1) Click your Start button.
    2) Find the DCUO game icon. Right click on it.
    3) Select "Properties" at the bottom of the pop-up box.
    4) Click the "Compatibility" tab at the top of the pop-up box.
    5) Select the check box that states "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
    6) From the drop-down box, select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" <note: you may have to click on the "Change Settings for All Users" button prior to doing this>

    If that doesn't work, select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" or make another selection to see if it works.

    I don't know why this works for me, and it's stupid that it does AND the devs need to actually offer a real solution...BUT, I'm in game now.

    Hope that helps everyone, but I'll be happy if it helps anyone.

    So another thing they might want to mention:

    After update installed I logged into my lower character and could not purchase any feats. You need to login to your main character then logout and go back to the character that you want to purchase feats for!

    7871 MB......7 Gigabytes an update. Really? Do you guys mind fixing this issue a litle sooner, we only get 500 GB and your updates are bigger than complete games on the PS4. On top of that, our Ps4s are probably not moving at max speed because of your 1 game taking almost 100 GB by the end of the year. Please fix it. Injustice is a 9 GB game. This one update is almost the size of injustice with its add ons. That's a problem.

    what happened to the T5 PVE breakout trinket?
  15. KRR New Player

    Not what I was implying but thank you for the information.

    Have no issues here logging in, downloading etc. Didnt even have to wait forever for initial start to begin. Maybe next GU will include termination of F2P. LAG would sharply reduce. Not to mention weeding out the ghetto crowd a bit.

    Unfortunately, Nothing in the Hotfix to help those getting the black screen. I have now been waiting almost 10 hours to play the game after restart. But we do have fixes for people who have access.

    This is actually useful, Back when GU33 was released, I was having a similar issue and I did exactly this. it seems like every new update tries to mke itself compatible with later SPs but doesn't, so sadly this has to be done
  19. synergies New Player

    ok im in, not sure if they did anything or not but all i did was go into the properties and un-check run in compatibility mode then switch it to windows 7 and left it un-checked. restarted the client, it would not load so i clicked on the maintenance tool and updated files list and poof im in.

    Note this could quite be SOE at work and my motions actually did nothing what so ever but just in case

    Don't know why it worked, but it did! Thanks for posting!
