I have noticed that the load screen is much longer. I think close to 1 minute of black screen. I should time it.
I have not noticed more mapserver's than usual, but I have noticed my talk-to-npc computer-locks-up bug has gotten much much worse.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
The black screen is happening for me too.

The Mapserver errors are server-side issues. As for the black screen, it's annoying but harmless. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

I have noticed that the Black Screen Of Wait happens on both my OS:X side CoH client, and on my WinXP side CoH client, in equal measure. Apparently, this is not something targeting just us Mac Folks.
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
Yeah, I've noticed it too. I talked with my SG and they're all expreiencing it as well, bot Mac & PC. I must say, when it first happened, I thought to myself, "What did they do to Mac now?", but I was happy to hear it was universal.

Hey everyone. The Strike Pack just came out a few days ago and after that the Devs did a couple live patches. Ever since then my CoX application takes a while to start up:
Open CoX
Click "Next"
Click "I Agree"
Stare at a black screen for a minute, then the CoH background comes up
Sit at that loading screen for another 30s (my original wait time)
Login Appears.
It never used to be that slow. Has anyone else noticed this when starting the game since the Strike Pack launch?
I'm also getting a ton of Map-server Disconnects since the release as well.
I'm running a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 with 4GB of DDR3 RAM.
