The game worked fine until today, but when I tried to play it gave me black screen.
I followed the instructions for "Are you getting a black screen/a malfunctioning full-screen/bad resolution?", it gave me black windowed screen, so I deleted the game from my app data folder and reinstalled it; that did nothing to fix the problem.
Next I deleted the projectx registry entry, the game, updated java, added exception to windows firewall (I am behind a router without an exception but it doesn't seem like it would be causing a blank screen anyway), and reinstalled the game from scratch but it's still broken. :(

What kind of video card do you have? Have you checked to make sure you have the latest video driver for it?

So...

I did a system restore to before game was broken for me, uninstalled Java and reinstalled from scratch, and downloaded the installable game client. I think it'd have to be an issue with the most recent version of the client, which doesn't make much sense considering the changelog is minor stuff...
