I'm in the same boat as hash. I can login fine but, I get a plain desktop and a cursor after logging in. After waiting ~10mins the screen goes black and nothing further happens. Any ideas on what could be going wrong? When I log in from Windows it goes straight to my character selection screen (not the server selection screen). Could this be the problem? I'm using NVidia 290.10 drivers in Arch 64bit to drive an NVidia 9600 GSO. Any ideas?
As a guideline, what happens after hitting "Play" here is: - 15-20 seconds: plain desktop background (blue) - ~1 second: black screen - 20-25 second: initial game loading screen
After that the character selection is visible.
Where "here" is a quad core i7-2630QM CPU with an Nvidia GeForce GTX460M and 270.41.06 drivers. It's an older Ubuntu 11.04 system with a custom kernel.
Hashs log appeared to be similar to my own so no ideas here. :-|
You could try to activate some debug flags concerning directx (e.g. d3d9) and try to gather from the logs if something goes wrong during initialization that might tell why things go wrong.
