Help.

Loaded up game this morning as i have done everyday, when game loaded to main Character home page, all the scenery is Black.

My gear score shows 9000. None of the game options work (shop, kingdom etc).  
I cant even go to drop down to access settings, account etc.

Version 2.4.0.34927  
REAPER616\_RLGL  
I play on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7.

I had this happen a few days ago, . (first time in six months). I was able to force close the game in the background on my android phone restart the game and everything was fine.

I assume people have tried this already but just in case…

We have released a potential temp fix for players being locked out - this is in the process of being pushed out.  
One of the issues was caused by players having Season battles marked as their favourite (an odd one to cause problems) so we have pushed some data to change this in players accounts from Season battles as favourites to the Story battles.

If you notice this change, for now, we advise to not reselect Season battles as a favourite… it is also already displayed on the main screen ✨

This is an initial fix for **one** part of a number of issues at the moment, so if you still find you are locked out loading PQ3 due to black screen or generally cannot even launch - then unfortunately this was not the fix for your issue and the team is working to resolve these critical issues.

Appreciated, yes. But what about a compensation for everyone losing a whole day of gaming because of this @Jeto ? Or is this still a thing?

(Jumping in while Jeto is out) We are waiting for a Hotfix to be approved at the moment that addresses the little cluster of issues around Adventure. We’re hoping we will get the greenlight to release that in the next couple of days, then sorting out any Adventure scheduling and comp needed shortly after that!  
Thanks (as always) for bearing with us.
