New player cant log in to servers

[Mrpink64]

hi everyone, i previously posted this on reddit.
I have made my account and was able to log on and create my character, once i camped the whole screen goes black and i cant alt tab out of it. I restarted my pc and now it keeps doing the same thing after i select my server and try to enter. I cant even make it to the character selection screen.

Someone on reddit suggested i changed compatibility to windows xp service pack 2, and it did work but only once. I played for a bit on my character and once i camped i went back to the same black screen.

It is not frozen as i can move my cursor. I also changed my graphic settings and followed a few of the suggested tips in this forum but nothing seems to be working.

Anyone have any ideas or tips ?

thanks for you time.
