Same problem. I was signed in, the black announcement box thing started to pop up, but then there was an error. Sent an error report, then the game auto-reloaded, and stuck me back with the error again.
yeah, I've been able to load the game a couple times, and I get the blank black box stuck on my screen and a bug report window. Game auto refreshes before I can type a bug report on it.
New reload window I've never seen before... it asks if I want to reload with a yes or no button, and gives me a link to the selftest... anyone get that?
