@JohnnyCLU van Damme#41591:

my store had me post my screenshot to their discord. and others are too. is that correct? or does it need to be social media so Wizards can see it too?

Nope, just Discord is totally fine!

(Editing to say that if this is your first time using Discord, it is SUPER easy to use and you're going to love it! I have used a LOT of voice clients to play games and Discord is by far my favorite.)

You don't need to go through Discord, unless that is what your local game store of choice is using to communicate with people. If your local game store doesn't link their social media accounts on their website, I suggest trying a game store in the closest major city to you.

This is a terrible event and you should pass this info along. There are a lot of people like me who don't have a local scene. The last card shop around here that did any events closed years ago. What am I supposed to do? Go beg on random Facebook MTG pages?

It doesn't have to be from your local scene if you don't have one, and you don't have to "beg". Just look at their Facebook wall to see if they're involved, or message them like "Hey are you participating in the FNM at Home Arena event?" In my experience, stores are most active on Facebook.

@JohnnyCLU van Damme#41591:

This is a lot of work for a sleeve...

If you deem that it is too much work for a sleeve, then you don't HAVE to go through the steps to get the sleeve. You can still participate in the event. The FNM at Home events is just one of the things we're doing to connect with local game stores in these hard times. We want to build community and connect folks (online). :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello ,
I experiencing black screen issue.
Two updates ago, i receive a black screen with Arena cursor and no sound. I've tried Wizard's fix they put on the forum and it doesn't work. I've uninstalled/reinstalled many times and used Wizard's supposed fix both times with no success.Found a way to fix it? I don’t play Magic for weeks now cause this problem.
I've spent days trying to fix this issue with no success so far... I tried everything and anything in the troubleshooting guide, I use the latest version of parallel desktop because I use a MAC, before it all worked now with new updates no.

Unfortunately Mac isn't supported by us yet, so if you have already tried the suggested update fix I'm not sure how else to help. :slight_frown:

@Toper Harley#09775:

Hello ,

I have the same problem (black screen).
I use a Windows 7.

Please fix it.

If you are running into a black screen upon update, your computer just needs to be updated! Please download the latest version of Visual C++ vc_redist.x86.exe to fix this. You can do so here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

I have an issue regarding "FNM at HOME" event. I cannot find LGS near me to claim codes for card sleeves due to I am only playing MTG Arena and not paper cards. Kindly help players like me to claim codes by alternative way (e.i. emails).

Keep reaching out to local game stores! I would bet that one within a few hours of your home is participating, though it may not be one in your immediate city. :slightly_smiling_face:

Patch Notes
