alright, i've checked the first 10 pages and this seems to be the earliest thread mentioning the blackscreen occuring only in coop after character creation and the only thread mentioning that only the definitive edition is affected.

this still happens, we are using a vpn (hamachi) as well as crossplay with steam and gog but as mentioned that works just fine for regular original sin 2. additionally with the definitive edition the client experiences significant latency in character creation meaning it takes several seconds until the character model and textures actually load in and match the selection (which is certainly not loading from memory). on top i noticed that the definitive edition client started uploading more data to the host than actually downloading from it after character creation and that capped out at 20-22kBps up vs 2-4kBps down (certainly not limited by the connection). that should probably never happen (?) and is also in stark contrast to the regular version client. so netcode seems to have been changed a bit which seems to cause problems in certain constellations?
