I was away for a bit and returned. Downloaded the new manifest and now when the game start up I have the audio but the startup screen is black. I hit escape and the audio stops and all I have is a black screen and mouse pointer.
Do I need to reinstall and if I do a reinstall will I lose my characters?
Or is there another solution?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Re: Black Screen at Startup
You likely simply need a file repair, yes even after a fresh download.
1) Close/kill everything and re-run the launcher "as admin"
2) Do a file repair and relaunch the launcher, again "as admin"
3) Run the more stable 64 bit client (found under launcher --> settings)

Thank you so much for your help! I will give it a try!
Re: Black Screen at Startup
Same problem ( + not even sound).
Rerun, repair etc. did not helped. any other ideas/solutions beside a complete new installation?

Re: Black Screen at Startup
I had this same issue once. I deleted the Cache folder and it fixed my issue. If the problem still persists. Try removing (not deleting the Interface and User folder). See if that helps. I recall someone saying that an addon caused a similar issue in the past.

did not work. did a new installation via my old ror installer. now i can hear the intro, but still a black screen. repair did not changed anything again.

Re: Black Screen at Startup
If you are still having issues even with a new installation, then something else is going on. Have you tried updating your graphics drivers? Try doing a repair, if all else download the client using the Torrent? It's almost as if the graphical settings aren't compatible with your client even if you do a fresh install.

Re: Black Screen at Startup
think there are no more updates for the 6870 xD.
was installed on this old pc for years, had no problems until now (not played since ~january) and changed nothing. anything else works fine.
nevertheless, thanks for your help.
