When it updates I literally am forced to delete the game and reinstall it. Then it loses all my levels and mastery progression and rewards which is incredibly frustrating given all the time I’ve invested in this game. Now I am level 3 when before I was over 100. I didn’t pay for the mastery pass but there are still rewards and -as dumb as this may sound- a sense of achievement in being a higher level. I’m sure I won’t get any of them back which is pretty upsetting. I feel like every month or so I have to start from scratch again . . .

I can download but every time it updates I have do delete the game and redownload. I have an iPhone 10. That is fully updated. The error message is “outdated client version”

Hi same here MTG arena Do not start, please help i bought the mtg arena mastery pass and i cant play it

I have the same issue but on MacOS, does anyone have a workaround?

Hi

The problem is due that four files are missing inside the installation folder c:\Program Files\Wizards of the Coast\MTGA\MTGA_Data\Downloads\AssetBundle\

Please add the follow files inside the folder:

- bucket_1201_657f949a0b27b824ec9e09cad7167a1f.mtga

- bucket_1201_657f949a0b27b824ec9e09cad7167a1f.mtga.dat

- bucket_1202_73d1bddbbeb10d2d9e9ddbb99c9fe84b.mtga

- bucket_1202_73d1bddbbeb10d2d9e9ddbb99c9fe84b.mtga.dat

If you have an Epic Launch installation, the path where add the files is :

c:\Program Files\Epic Games\MagicTheGathering\MTGA_Data\Downloads\AssetBundle\

You can download the above files here:

Thanks Vicé for the collaboration.

I am having the same issue where the game gets hung up at requesting format data while attempting to play would love an update.

Similar issue on android, gets to requesting format data and hangs

Same.
Could be that "you need to load the latest Microsoft C++ dll" problem we've had before?
I am looking for online directions for that now.

Hello,

It sounds like you may need some more troubleshooting advice. Please review our Technical Troubleshooting articles for what advice we have available.

Thanks!

this whole thread is from 11 months ago and has undoubedtly been fixed ages ago, and yet nobody from wizards ever removes all these ancient posts that clutter up everything? no wonder nothing much ever improves in-game!

Updating visual studio made the game running for me.

Guys,

to fix the black screen, I installed the c ++ package and solved it, follow the link

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

I changed the network t private an turned off the windows firewall for private networks and it worked, well, so far, downloading right now.

Same here, i've tried everithing in the post and nothing. Another buggy update.

I have the same problem no matter what language I put. I have tried to uninstall install it even delete the folder and nothing. Nothing comes out the screen goes black. It may be that due to the update the access server is overloading when too many people enter at the same time. Since if I open the program again, having one open, I already get the one in the image below that if I don't know if the two processes are colliding with each other or it is a server thing. You could fix it.
Thank you,
Greetings,

Same here. Black screen. English language.

Moreover, after a disconnect in the middle of a game, the reconnect button led me to a weird admin panel (see screens attached). I exited the game and tried to reload it, but now it's only a black screen

Me too.
Launching as Administrator does not work for me. Black screen with MTG cursor

Launching as Administrator does not work for me. Black screen with MTG cursor. Rebooted, disabled firewall, rebooted again. Still nothing.

starting the MTG software as administrator worked for me (Windows 10). It installed a bunch of updates (around 1 GB) . Then I had to login again. At first it said "Waiting for server" seemingly forever so I canceled the task, restarted MTG again and then it worked again.
