I had this error before, but it was a long time ago. Head over to the technical issues forum before reinstalling it altogether. Those guys will know what the issue is. (It may be that you need to update your graphics driver. I really don't remember what I did to fix it long ago, though.)
Thanks, I'll do that.. My GFX drivers are up to date though.

I read that you can still get into the char creator whether or not you're in the CB, but I keep getting "lost connection with DB server" right now D:

That is because if you are not in CB then you can no longer access the creator. New "feature" with this issue, and working as intended.

I thought they were still fixing things from their first attempt (I usually try to get on until I get the 'access is limited to Beta Testers, because you never know when the interweb will eat emails.)
Still here, even after all this time!

I haven't been on the Test server in about a year, and never before on this PC.
I followed the same steps as I did before, and looked at the threads here for guidance again to make sure I didn't so anything wrong, and everything seemed fine.
However, when I get to the Game Loading screen [I do get the Test entry screen in the Patcher window as normal], instead of the classic "Heroes approaching" on blue background, I am getting a black screen..
My cursor shows normal activity, the game loads up to what I assume is the Login screen, and has the login screen music, but I still have a completely black screen.
Any thoughts? I've tried deleting my checksum file and I have also verified the image repeatedly, my next step unless I get some advice on this is to just delete the test folder and try all over again.
Thank you for your attention.
