Yeah, not all the time, a lot of it though... Maybe it's the change characters thing. When I'm soloing with hires that thing makes me have to release because there's no way to quickly port a hire out of harm's way or make him appear on me to get my stone in time. After that useless load time passes the hire's dead.Not only you, but there is not always that black screen. It's when the game or I myself have lag. Or if I have changed characters several times (terrible for performance)
