Didnt see that issue ever....did you also have similar things in past?
Were you able to login before this update??
If you were able to login before the last update maybe a portion could also be related to your video card in a way?
----
and WHEN do you get the black screen...when you press Launch ? --> if so..you can access the tools section in Client loader right?
-->then go to Tools and clear the cache and reset graphics....->uncheck all planets in Download section...
then try to reload it...

Sounds like a completely separate issue, does it have a thread?Ok, all this talk about C++ distributable blah blah, but WHAT DO WE DO IF WE CAN'T LOG IN DUE TO BLACK SCREEN?!
Sounds like a completely separate issue, does it have a thread?
Note: I understand now why the client loader has to install vcredist. Hopefully a wipe and reinstall will straighten my issue out.
Let me help then: in my case, it's because downgrading from modern Linux to Windows 10 would be like buying a Yugo.Its weird, I never have an issue updating the client.
Im running Windows 10 (and always latest release) and 64-bits architecture.
Why stick to old?
But maybe some ppl are using XP/Win7 32-bits or even Linux?
Still cant figure out why tho, because it sucks if you compare to modern OS.
Its like buying a new car and ripping the modern engine out and replacing it with a wood gas generator so you can run it on timber or charcoal.
