I was only like 3 days into a 7 day boost also, but I guess that's no matter. Before the hotfix it loaded to 98% and then just went to a black screen. After the second hotfix, it goes to 15 or 37%, and then a black screen. Game never stops responding, or doesn't lock up. Just a steady black screen for hours. All of my other games work (TF2, Payday, etc.) I haven't found much about this Googling, at least nothing from this year. Help - I'm starting to have withdrawals.
It's entirely possible you're experiencing the result of a corrupt game file. Try this, run your Planetside 2 Launchpad and log in, but do not press play. Click on the Advanced Tools icon (looks like a hexagon surrounding a wrench) in the lower left and then choose the option to open game directory. In the window/folder that comes up, locate, make backups of, and delete the following files PlanetSide2.exe ActivityUserData.ini LaunchPad-user.ini LoadingScreen.xml InputProfiles.xml SoundSettings.xml UserOptions.ini vivoxoal.dll vivoxsdk.dll Once these files are deleted, close the Planetside 2 window/folder and go back to the Launchpad > Advanced Tools/Settings menu. Click on the Validate Game Assets menu option and then press the green Validate button to have the Launchpad check your game files, and download any missing or corrupt files.
