Black screen bug in certain raids

in Bug Reporting
In certain raids, if a player stays at the starting point while another player run aheads to trigger the cutscene, the player that stays at the starting point will get a black screen for a few seconds after the cutscene. It does not matter whether the cutscene finishes playing or is skipped. Players that have moved infront of the starting point before the cutscene is trigger do not get a black screen. The black screen is the "fade to black" transition kind. While the player is having the black screen, he can still be attacked and damaged by the boss.

Raids that experience this problem (off the top of my head) :

Regina
Eochaid
Lavasat

This is very easy to replicate. Simply get two GMs to do any of these raids, and have one stay still while the other runs forward to trigger the cutscene. The GM that stays still will get a fade to black style black screen after the cutscene. This is 100% reproducable and affects every player in the game. This is probably caused by the game moving the players from the starting point to the battle area.

    Can confirm this is a bug & this does happen. Notorious in Lavasat raids as well as 24 man Elchulus. Never had it happen in Eoch/Regina though.

    Can confirm that this also happens in Neamhain too. Had it happen to a friend of mine. I want to say that it seems to occur right after the cut scene of Neamhain making her entrance into the dungeon, but it seems pretty rare.
