Quiplash not loading
Hi Guys,

We were just playing the party box 1 and 2 with a group of 7. All games worked like a charm aside from Quiplash. The introduction worked fine and it showed the connected players, but after that nothing loaded besides a semi-black screen. Music kept on playing and I was able to navigate back to the menu with the keyboard. Was playing on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.5.

Anyone that is familiar with the issue?

Had this the other day when we loaded up quiplash after playing a game of fibbage - had to close the game client then re-open it and quiplash worked normally again.

Very sorry for the problem, we're trying to get it resolved ASAP. Force closing Quiplash and re-trying will fix the issue :fartsandwich:

It actually did not, the solution was to completely restart my machine! The loading screen had a black background color, afer restarting it was green. Might have been an issue with the fresh install and playing straight away. Thanks for replying during Christmas weekend!

Glad to hear it's working again. Let us know if you have anymore problems

This is happening to me too... Can't get Quiplash XL to open no matter what I try... Luckily I own the stand-alone version of Quiplash too with the DLC, so could play that, but was v. disappointed to not be able to play XL :(

Try completely exiting Steam and then try Quip XL again

Happening to me as well, restarting Steam and restarting the computer did not fix it. I wonder if it's related to having the standalone Quiplash installed (I uninstalled it after I installed Jackbox Party Pack 2).

I have this problem too. Have never been able to play my Quiplash. Tried 3 different pc's during the last 14 days to no avail. Black screen on all of them. All other games working perfectly

This happened to me two different times in Quiplash XL, and I'm led to believe it's when I have the audience play-along feature enabled. It worked like a charm while it was off, and then I experienced the black screen freeze when I enabled it. It's been working fine with audience participation on, except tonight it did freeze on me once. Closing out and restarting resolves the problem for me.
