Hello everyone!
As we near the end of the Closed Beta, I can see that the Forums have become fertile grounds for interesting discussions but also a tonne of c**p.
That being said, I feel like a subject has not been approached with enough attention or any attention at all.
The White Screen.
I know that the White Screen is used as a loading screen as you load into your Ship and that it is a process that is required mechanically. That's fair. My issue resides that some of us have to suffer these White Screens for a very long time.
As an example, I was playing with my buddy @CNT-Thelrox earlier in the day. As we were enjoying fighting and sinking the other crews of the server, we inevitably had to go through the Ferry of the Damned and a couple of Merm Ports. Thelrox runs on an XBOX and I run on a PC. On several occasions where I died first and had to go through the Gate first, I was stuck on a White Screen for over 30 seconds. Thelrox, on the other hand, would go in second and would spawn in first.
While I can understand that this might be affected due to the Specs of my PC, I cannot express how painful and aggravating it is to be stuck on a White Screen for 30 seconds and hear your Ship gurgle its way down to the abyss.
I feel like these White Screens need to be addressed as they can seriously endanger your survival on the Sea of Thieves.
