I don’t know if this game suffered the infamous “Black Screen if Death” from launch, I certainly never experienced it. However, it’s now happening to me after uesterday’s update. Anybody else getting this? I’ve just finished a round of Conquest in Panzerstorm and it’s stuck in this screen, with a few symbols in the bottom right, and the “loading” icon moving in the top right. ---

Happens every time I quit a game and then try and join another server. The only way I’ve found to get around this is to restart the whole game. It’s a rather irritating flaw to the game ---

Try to uninstall and reinstall the game. I used to get this and when I reinstalled it I wasn’t getting it anymore. It’s possible the hardware is to blame for this. ---

Had it happen today when joining a game, black screen and nothing would show up no matter what button I pushed on my controller. Had to reboot PS4 to fix. ---

Could be a new psychology test on the part of Dice. “What pisses off paying customers more - a black infinite loading screen or one with the same map they just played? Let’s test it out!” ---

Try the following: Press the pause button then down on the d-pad twice and hit x Note: you won’t see anything while doing this until you press x, which will then take you to the squad overview. This has been working for me. No guarantees but worth a try
