[patch 1.122] Game launches to black screen with main-menu words but no picture
I accidentally update my game without knowing that the mod and cc are broken since the marketplace is out. It updated like usual, but it won't open after that. So I tried to repair it on the EA app before trying to open it again. Failed, but I kept trying to open it without thinking to remove the mod and cc in the game. After awhile, it did open and load like usual, until the menu appeared like that. I can't interact with anything, even the escape button. I need to forced the game closed to quit the game. I might try again later with mod and cc removed. - title edited for clarity - Luth
Dude, seriously, fix error 1478078408 Its not solved!!!
This is infuriating man. THIS STILL HAPPENS. YOU MARKING A LIL THREAD AS SOLVED DOESNT MEAN THIS IS SOLVED. I never had that lil skate cpt thing man so stop with that, it aint that. Me and the other ppl having this problem are SCREAMING at thier monitor at you because it's still not fixed, And you ignore their cries for help because u think u solved the problem. You didnt. I can only play the game for 5 minutes like clockwork, when your servers shoot me out of a cannon to the main menu here it wont let me back in until I close and reopen the game. 15 years. Fix it man, seriously.
How to fix the invisible friends/players bug
Step 1.) Your friends/players are invisible Step 2.) Go to the >pause menu >hub >social & spectate Step 3.) begin spectating your friend Step 4.) Cycle through spectating every player in the lobby till you loop back around to your friend(s) Step 5.) Teleport to your friend from Spectator mode Step 6.) It should (hopefully) be fixed. This has worked pretty consistently for me, I believe the issue is from desyncing with the lobby/server causing everyone to disappear, by doing this method you manually "re-sync" with the lobbly/server. Super bouncing out of the map may cause desync as well. Let me know if this method worked for you and if it does upvote if that's even a thing on these forums. If it doesn't work for you, your last resort is to restart anlaki, I'm sorry GG.
