Anyone else getting this? Earlier, post-patch I was able to play Lockdown just fine. And then something seem to have happened, because now whenever I try to join a game, it sticks at the black screen of not-loading. I suspect it has something to do with the anomalous number of players claimed to be "playing" Lockdown at the moment too.

Edit: Some other anomalous behavior, while in the black screen there is no music, but I can bring up the main menu by hitting ESC, and return to Haven successfully. The chat log then shows that all the other players have left the match. However, my Coliseum panel is stuck "waiting for a game" even though I'm not actually waiting for a game, and hitting Withdraw yields "an unexpected error".

Yup. I'm getting it on all

Yup. I'm getting it on all modes. Just started happening to me today. The regular dungeons or whatever done it to me as well the first time I entered. Stopped playing so I don't keep wasting my energy and crowns just to see a black screen.

Lockdown blackout

Yeah, I've got the Lockdown blackout too. Worked fine before the update.

The more important thing is, are there people who aren't having this issue? If that's the case, we should see if us afflicted players have anything in common.

Hm, well here's what I did: I

Hm, well here's what I did:
I was messing around having a general good time in T1 Lockdown, got invited to a Jelly run, so I went and joined in d14 (Arena). Did the Jelly run, got some dessert, and decided to go putz around in Lockdown again. Might have checked the Auction House or something too. Got into Lockdown, played a match (only one, I think? this might be important) and when I hit Play Again, the screen faded out when the timer finished (as if going to the next match). Except the next match never started loading, just sat there staring at a black screen.

Good luck Nick, I hear they're locking you in the office (or chaining you to the desk?) until you put together a bugfix! :D

Hpland has found something of interest.

I logged off and then logged on again and it came up that some people who are my friends were playing Lock-down but when i tried to get in i got the "black screen of death and evilness". Is it because i live outside the US and don't have strong connection to the servers?

turns out though that if you

turns out though that if you return to haven when the black screen shows up, everyone left and you still have the same money anyway, but i'm not saying that this is not a big problem that needs to be fixed.
