Same here and gives black screen with cursor keep circle poping...
Already 4 straight hours freaking black screen. Uninstalled and installed the client and the game several times already and it doesn't work still black and freaking freaked out cursor...
Ton of resources wasted, few hours to starting the events... and still this black screen. Seriously, if that is how the event starts for most people... won't be cool at all.
Most people do not use the forum and when they face this TOTAL crash and broken client due to the latest update (3rd one of 3 in day and a half) will probably freak out, especially if they know the events are coming and the resources are going down the drain - both active resources, regenerative resources and time resources in the inbox... yeah, TONS OF RESOURCES wasted right before the events... all f2p players will be f'd
