Final Fantasy A large number of players reported that when switching scenes, resurrecting or teleporting in a dungeon, the game would often get stuck on a black screen, and the loading time was even much slower than on other platforms. In response, Square Enix also quickly issued an announcement, admitting that it has confirmed that the problem exists. The corrected version is currently in testing and hopes to launch an update as soon as possible.
The more people there are, the more serious it becomes, and the black screen will follow all the way to the end of the instance!
According to the official description, the problem mainly occurs when a large number of characters gather around players when entering a dungeon. Due to the abnormally long time required for data reloading and cache clearing, players may encounter a long black screen when transitioning, teleporting, changing maps, resurrecting, or even using Return or shortcuts within the dungeon, and this situation may continue until they leave the dungeon.
Official: The corrected version is already being tested
Square Enix stated that the team has identified the cause of the problem and further optimized the data loading and caching mechanism. The updated version is currently in testing. The official emphasized that in addition to the black screen loading problem, other known errors will also be corrected and promised to “release updates as soon as possible”. Players are asked to wait patiently.
It’s disappointing to encounter this kind of problem in the first launch.
After the news was exposed, many players expressed the hope that the official could fix it as soon as possible. After all, “Final Fantasy XIV” is an MMORPG that relies heavily on smooth reading experience. If you have to stare at the black screen and wait for every copy transition, it will indeed greatly affect the gaming experience. Some players also believe that this type of performance problem is a common running-in situation in the early stages of a new platform. As long as the official can launch a corrective update as soon as possible, they are still looking forward to the Switch 2 version.
