Black Desert: Issues with the Headstart – Unexpected Error -100 [Update]

The Black Desert starting today has problems with the head start. An unexpected error has occurred. Players are unable to log in.

At 9:00 AM this morning, Black Desert was supposed to start, but network issues are affecting BD like many MMORPGs before at launch.

Important: A short patch was released just before the launch. It may help to close the client and restart it to pull the new patch.

Currently, players are receiving the error message “Unexpected error -100.” There seem to be network issues behind it. This seems widespread. On reddit, posts like “Can anyone else not log in?” have popped up like mushrooms.

Surely expected somewhere, in the first minutes of many MMORPGs it went this way. Hardly one was spared. However, since players had to pay quite a bit for the head start, it is still a surprise. And also unpleasant for the publisher, after all, players spent quite a lot to start immediately.

We will keep you updated in this thread about how things develop.

Update 9:23: It looks like they got the issues under control relatively quickly and a bunch of imps are also at the start. Good!

Head Start for pre-order players of the Conqueror’s Package has begun!
