Confirmed

Infinite Loading/Black Screen After Returning to Marker or Completing Challenges

Platform: PC, PS5 (platform-independent)

Description: Since Season 3, returning to the session marker (D-Pad up) occasionally causes the game to freeze on either the loading screen or a completely black screen. This happens approximately 1–2 times per hour. Same thing when completing challenges. The screen does not resolve, and the only way to recover is to force close the game (Alt + F4 on PC).

Additional Details:

  • The game continues running in the background. You can hear other players, and matches (e.g., OTL) continue without your participation.
  • Occurs on both PC and PS5.
  • Attached: video recording showing the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Play the game normally.
  2. Return to the session marker using D-Pad up or finish a challenge.
  3. Occasionally, the loading screen will freeze or go black.

Frequency: 1–2 times per hour

Impact: Prevents gameplay and requires forced shutdown.

    Hey there,

    Thank you very much for your report. This is currently being investigated as marked in our Weekly Grind.

    • Returning to the session marker while 'getting unstuck' can get the player stuck on a black loading screen.

    Hi there,

    This is not related directly to the ZexyZek issue. This is a known issue the team has been investigating for a while and has been reported in our Weekly Grind.

    This is happening a lot more since season 4. It was some what bearable in season 3 but its almost unplayable in season 4. PC Specs: Intel I9 / 32GB ram / RTX3080. Hoping this gets fixed soon. Its been extremely difficult doing challenges, especially when in a party.
