Did you ever think that the game not loading might be a pleasant blessing in disguise? I jest, but we all know this game is FUBAR!

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,

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

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.

I had the black screen for the last couple of days and none of the suggestions worked for me. This is how i fixed it: verify MTG in the Epic Games library and then launch. If you still have a black screen or stalled loading then hit the windows key and right click on the MTG icon in the task bar and run as administrator. It will then ask you to log in and then work. Strangely it will ask you to reconnect when you eventually quit but do that and then exit normally and all will be saved.
