same
For me, it's not permanent, it comes and goes. It's super strange because the game is still running normal, and I can see the health bars of myself, my minions, and the enemies.

Same. Game is unplayable. Screen goes black in the middle of playing.

Never ever had a problem like this with any POE game 1 or 2.

They definitely broke something.

All that and a bag of chips!

Yes, indeed. Character can move, but nothing loads. Ppl say the same thing on the subreddit
Black here, game unplayable until a fix.
I'm seeing the same bug. For me, updating the water detail level setting from low to high seems to fix the issue. If anyone has their water detail level setting set to low, try updating it to high and see if it fixes it.
Same issue here too. currently seems to be in the center of Ziggurat Encampment

I had my water detail level at high and I still have the issue... thank you for the suggestion though
