Any update on neverending black screen bug?

They actually just announced that they found the fix and they are going to roll it out in the next few hours.

@treefittymonsta From what I understand it only took a couple hours to fix it. To my knowledge it took them like a day or two to figure out the problem with the almondbeard thing. Have some patience. The game will be good again soon. In the mean time just play with a friend, that's what I did. Had a blackscreen issue and was able to load back in because he was still there.

I don't think there are many benefits to playing solo, friend.

@treefittymonsta That sounds a bit like a recipe for disaster in and of itself. Haha.

Well, I'm sorry you're constrained like that but be assured they are working to patch things up. :)

I've been getting this one a lot today.

The most frustrating instance was when I was soloing a Skull Fort. I had completed 12 waves and died. I exited the Ferry of the Damned only to be stuck on a never ending black screen. I even got one of my friends to try joining but they kept getting an "alabasterbeard" message. :*(

Why oh why don't Rare introduce a rejoin option for solo players?!

There is a patch to fix this I've just noticed. I hope it works.
