We also had someone come into IRC 10 minutes after the black bar glitch normally starts and said it only started for them when they left Trade City. This may be just a coincidence but there also may be something about Trade City that is different and stopped the bug from occurring?

Oh nice hitmon. It could also have to do with loading maps while having the bug...and computers.

I wish I had a BBB account so I could experiment with this instead of relying on others. So many things to test out and I can't.

You can still move if BBB strikes. But if you engage in battle or move to another map, your stuck. That also happens if you log in when BBB is active.

Thanks to a bit of hardwork and highly valuable input from Tenchi666, we've found a possible fix.

If you have Black Bar Bug (NOTE: NOT a black screen) set your computers to english. So far, after 6 other people have tested it with success, all of them had languages other than english on their PC.

(Ignore posts that are listing questions because this original post had different stuff on it)

Well done Zeb, i knew some awesome progress was going to be made soon.
But not all credit goes to you X3. Well done Tenchi666 also. Now we don't have to tell everyone individually what that black bar is on Jan 7th.

Can we celebrate good times now?
