Forever black screen

[Kal]

When I load in game with current or new character, i hear them die and then just black screen with blue cursor and i can hear the game but i see just black screen, I dont want to restart, hopefully theres a fix LOL EDIT: Fixed the black screen issue by restarting PC then making a new world and loading into new world on same character, saving to main menu then joining world with black screen issue, fixed. Second issue from that was ship was stuck in terrain, I was able to build a shipyard next to it and the yard sucked the ship out of the terrain and got unstuck. Hope this helps anyone with same issue

Bump, just logged in with this same issue. This is the second game I've had to make, too, since my first one randomly locked me out of interacting with everything on my ship in the middle of nowhere (sails/chests/helm). Gonna try your fix and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'm not sure if I want to start a new game or quit at this point.

edit: it worked. was hilariously bugged when I zoned in. died immediately and got thrown around a glitching ship. I'm glad I parked on a shipyard because it fixed itself soon after.

Glad that worked, I didn't see the black screen issue listed on their known bugs, but I believe the interacting issue was listed

same for me now... dont want to start over again...

[Blackwater]

make a new world same character, login to new world, after go back to old world and done. worked for me

[Kal]

yeah, thats what i did, I put it in my edit but appreciate you posting a fix. glad you got the black screen resolved.

I skipped the whole bit of restarting my computer and it still worked, FYI

Welp, I thought that might help me solve the issue with the new world I have from when this happened on the first world. Game respawned me on an island with zero sources of Atlas....

But when I returned to the first world, it instakilled me, and on respawning on my ship I was stuck (could move camera but not interact or move) and respawning at the Ark did,'t instead spawning me on the ship. But my corpse bag is embedded in the island nearby, 10 units under the ground and inaccessible.

I think I'm done until they do some proper QA on the game.
They've done a massive amount of work on some things, but basic gameplay experience is just painful. It really needed more TLC before release into early access.

Enshrouded spoiled me.

I have had items and blueprints and even a bag myself get stuck in the map, it sucks, but the game is early access so here's hoping it gets fixed. Sucks that it happened to you, maybe if they end up fixing these issues, your bag will pop out of the map and be on the ground like if they make a system that prevents things from being stuck in map and just leaves them on top in an open area like not near other parts of map or anything to prevent them getting stuck.

Ay, glad it worked

Well it worked and didnt work, I was able to get back into my original world, which of course autodeaded me, but wont let me respawn on my ship (nearest ark only) even though I can see sky, was last parked at The Spine so not a lot of land mass

[Kal]

I had to re open my game, load into the new world that I made, then load back into the actual world that I play on and it fixed that issue for me because it happened to me today, hope it helps, because the spawn on ship was greyed out for me, no idea what causes it but i was afraid i'd have to restart lol

[Rangoak]

The fix worked for me, although I had to do it twice. The first time I was instakilled, couldn't respawn on the ship, and got stuck in an infinite death cycle trying to respawn at an Ark. The second time worked as if there was never an issue.

[Kal]

I see, glad it worked, I've had to do this multiple times as well, lol

Can confirm this works. First time an online fix ever worked for me, so I'm super thankful.

Gladi it worked : )
