      I'm having this issue all of a sudden where if I start a co-op campaign, it'll play through the initial cutscenes but when it gets to my ACU spawning in, it just remains in the cinematic view with the black bars covering the top and bottom of my screen. I can't interact with the game, pause it, control anything but it is active and running. I will occasionally see an AI ship fly over the ACU.

      I've tried running a new campaign mission Black Dawn as well as Meltdown, or some of the unofficial missions. I disabled any mods I had and the issue persists. I've tried a complete reinstall of the game and the FAF launcher as well.alt text

        I'm experiencing the exact same problems since the latest patch. It makes any co-op mission with a "black-bar" cinematic unplayable.

            I still have this issue but not at the start. I can never leave the first cut scenes after 10 minutes. Is there a solution for it?

              @gugae Have you downloaded the latest game files by playing online?

              You can confirm your game version in the lobby. You can hover over the 'Game version XYZW' text. It should show something like this:

                  Then please share a game log where this happened. And perhaps it is a UI mod that is causing issues. You can try disabling them, see if that helps.
