I'm used to all that bad programming, and I've been tolerating it because at its core Magic is a great game. I'm used to having to manually replace a DLL file because the installer doesn't recognize that I'm running Windows 7 and install the correct version of that file. I'm used to having to uninstall Arena using Add/remove Programs every few days because of the updater saying 'Whoops, an error occurred!' I'm used to having to re-download the installer, which then retrieves hundreds of MB of updates (why? it's the current version of the installer!), and then wait while over 4GB of 'assets' are downloaded. Posting this because I know WoTC reps read Reddit forums.

Until now everything worked perfectly, update after update.Īs soon as the Mac version is fixed (it has some issues) I will do that, but until then I would like to run it on Windows.ĭoes anybody have the same problems or any ideas? Could it be a. (It was the only Win version I had lying around) It installs fine, download needed assets etc.īut the map size is now only 2,5 GB or something.Īnd it still has the black screen with the cursor. Then I deleted everything and re-downloaded it. All is well.īut when I start the game, it only shows a black screen withe the mtgarena cursor.

It updates well, no issues there, deletes the old files, moves it to the 圆4 environment. I just updated the game, after it having 16 gigs in the folder, so it had preloaded the file earlier this week. IN YOUR PROGRAMFILES/WIZARDSOFTHECOAST/ARENA FOLDER THERE ARE TWO. AFTER DOWNLOADING THE NEWEST VERSION THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE GONE! SEEMS FIXED FOR THE BLACK STARTUP SCREEN, BUT NOT ALWAYS FOR THE BLACK SCREENS AFTER MATCHES: FOR ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VISUAL C++ UPDATER.
