stuck in black screen when forced out of diving multiplayer

[broken lintel]

• Reproduction Steps this has happened twice to me (host) and another player. the first time it happened we were both diving and had just finished the bronze kelp diving area and found the mermaids, shortly after this cutscene, the time hit 11pm and we were both forced out of the water. I then had the cutscene with Ling about finding the mermaids and the other player was trapped in a black screen. we assumed his game crashed so he just closed it and rejoined and it was fine.

The second time (I have a steam clip of this one) I was diving alone and the other player was waiting in bed to end the day. again I was forced out of the water at 11pm but this time I had the black screen while the other player could exit the bed and continue. I didn't want to close my game and lose the day's progress so we decided to wait and see if I would pass out at 2am because I could still hear in game sounds. thankfully that worked and the end of day screen was normal

Confirming this. My wife and I are experiencing the same thing. It's not cutscene related as far as we can tell, but either player who dives until they get forced out of the water gets black-screened until they pass out.

Reproducible 100% of the time we dive too late. Like OP, we are also both playing on Steam/PC with the most recent patch.

Same happened to me and my boyfriend, when forced out of diving he got the black screen until next day, i'm the host. Steam/PC. Same network. Keyboard both. For us just happened the second time. First time we both dived until kicked out and nothing happened. Second time i left early, he was then later kicked out and his screen was all black. Could hear ambient sounds and some prompts but nothing else. I didn't checked if his character was still somewhere, just went to sleep and waited for 2:00am
