I had a strange situation with my level 7 toon on test. Had completed citizenship some time ago then didn't play for a long time. I mention it because at one point I thought it was responsible for the bug...thought I don't think so any more.Anyway I found that with this toon I was unable to zone into any non-city zones. I could run around the city to my hearts delight zone into any other city zone I wished. As soon as I attempted to enter a non-city zone i.e Oatmyst forest, I would zone in to black screen. All of my UI was functioning (except compass), I could chat, cast, sit/stand, emote and the rest. I could not move and could not see due to the black screen. I asked others I could hear nearby in the zone if they could see me and they could. I was able to escape a couple of times using CoQ but soon as i entered any non-city zone same problem. Logged to charcter screen and logged to desktop, repatched and nothing helped. Keeping in mind that I play without issue on live server I figured it was not a driver issue.I don't remember how I arrived but I eventually came to the conclusion it had to do with my UI. To my knowledge I was using strictly vanilla default UI. Eventually I renamed both my UI/defaut and my UI/font directories and did a full scan to reload them. This resolved my problem and have had no issue since. I thought I should post this here as I have read many people having problems with similar blackscreen issues and many of them were unable to find resolution. If it helps anyone it would have been worth the hours I spent figuring it out.<div></div>
