Steps to Reproduce

1. We were finishing the stage 2 elevator battle.
2. My friend died right before the elevator opened.
3. I ran into the elevator; the ready screen appeared.
4. We both clicked ready.
5. We selected the threat vector on the right, which consisted of creepers being twice as tough to kill.
6. Wait for loading screen to end.
7. Confronted with black screen.

Explanation

On depth 2, a friend and I just finished the second level and riding the elevator down (loading screen) and when the loading screen ended, I encountered a pure black screen, with all sound gone. No input would do anything (I tried controller, keyboard, and mouse input and nothing worked). My friend was still in-game, able to see things normally. After a little while, the black screen just disappeared and it appeared the game crashed, but no window or pop-up that said the game crashed. I reopened the game and joined my friend's session and everything seems to be back to normal again. I can't be sure, but it seems like I didn't get any experience.
