@KnowsNoLimit, I would be grateful if Popcap fixed the long black screen glitch at the beginning of a match. Often I can't even start a match anymore without the loading screen taking about 20-30 seconds past the start of the match. Usually, a hard reset would fix it, but as I progressed further in ranks it started to not fix it anymore.

My theories on why it is happening:

Too many customized characters
Rank is too high (Started happening at higher ranks)
Playtime? (As my rank increased, playtime increased, so that could be a factor possibly)
Servers (I noticed it happened a little more frequently when at peak times. I play in US West Region)

Hopefully, the rubble fix will also fix this glitch as well...

This happens to me too. But then on the very next round, I may load into the game before anyone else, and have to wait for others to join the match before the timer even begins. So I don't know just how long of a delay we're experiencing when we're the ones on the long loading screen. Might actually turn out to be the same. But yeah, it's annoying. I'm guessing it's on their server side though.
