If you are affected by the black-bar glitch (illustrated in the image above), I would disadvise creating any new threads on it in the meantime; it's unnecessary to do so, as the information you're asking for will be provided in this thread.
Glitch Information: The black-bar glitch invariably occurs at the 22:00-24:00 hours in poketime—it's a 40-minute duration in real-world time (poketime elapses 3x faster than real-world time). When this glitch is onset, the most noticeable symptoms of it—to those affected by it—are the client's inabaility to render an HUD (instead, there is a black bar, as shown in the image above), and the user's inability to move while the bug is in effect.
Solution: This is a client-side error which occurs due to language-pack settings on the end of the user's OS; they must be changed to English, which can be done under the Regional & Language settings under your Control Panel.
Furthermore, after the mentioned poketime period elapses (22:00-24:00 poketime), the error should disappear by then as well, as it's only particularized for those hours of poketime; changing your OS's language settings will field a more permanent solution to it in the meantime, however.
For a more permanent solution, we are hoping to have this universally fixed in a future client release. It's an error that's existed in an older client version, and has resurfaced in this release, but it is a priority to have fixed in an upcoming batch of client-update changes.
