I continually get the "black screen of death" while trying to launch the online portion of Ghosts. Local play or campaign work just fine as do all my other games for online play (i.e. BF4, Killzone, etc).
This started occurring with the latest update package for the game. I own the disc version but game forces the update to download before it allows online play. When I select online play the console waits about 2 seconds and then the screen goes black and never recovers.
I can press the PS button to return "home" where I can navigate through all of the menus there. The only way to recover the game is to close down the application and relaunch.
A couple of items to note:
1. I have tried multiple PS4 systems with the same results.
2. I have deleted and reinstalled the game at least 3 times with same results.
3. This issue seems to have started with the latest update/patch. Online worked perfectly fine prior to the latest update.
4. I have tried both wireless and LAN connections with no difference.
5. I have tried multiple PSN accounts with same results.
6. I have also tried changing the output video settings from 1080 to 720 but it made no difference.
7. I do not believe this is a console issue as all my other online games are working correctly.
8. Disc is very clean.
This is extremely frustrating as I purchased the season pass on top of the game and I can't use either one of them. I know this has been posted by many other users but have not seen resolution posted yet.
Thanks in advance if anyone has come across the solution.
