    So, I press PLAY, game launches, there's a black screen, planetside2 mouse cursor appears for 2 sec, then it turns to like the desktop mouse cursor, game stays on black screen indefinitely. I waited 2-3 min, restarted the game several times, nothing. Solution?

    I too am experiencing the same issue.. Everything says the Servers are Up, yet only black screen with arrow cursor. Ahhh! Talk about a huge upgrade FUBAR.... so much for testing!

    Having the exact same issue you are not alone. Maybe mass people trying to log at the same time is bugging the server out. They should have done this update at like 2 am or something... or maybe they did and its still fubar I dunno.

    I get to the character screen and when I press log in, it just stays there.

    It happens exactly the same for me, probably for everyone else as well.

    Servers will be up in 90 minutes. Remain calm.

    Same "black screen" problem here and for a friend, too

    edit: "Servers will be up in 90 minutes. Remain calm."

    I thought the servers were already up like...a while ago? The downtime for the update is 90 minutes, is that where you're getting that number from? That time has already passed.

    for those of you who are saying the servers are getting hammered with log in requests, it should at least give us a server is busy error and if they were decent guys queue us up for login...

    same as OP
  17. SturmovikDrakon

    Same here, validated game assets, problem persists

    ROFL! Wonder why Planetside 2 is losing players and SOE is having to shrink it's servers and FUNNEL people to other servers.. SOE! It's because of your LACK OF TESTING! PERIOD!

    Same. Black screen.

    Woah woah woah. Thats WAY too logical for SOE. A black screen is fine for them :p
