What if my DOF was already set to “off” and I get the Black Screen Glitch? ---

Make sure to go back and turn it off afterwards.

Thanks ill try it out next time. Still no excuse for this to be happening though, especially this late in the game. Hopefully it’s fixed soon. ---

One weird little trick that I like to use when I get the black screen is to remember that BF1 is an EA game and play a different game. ---

Excellent find, if true @HardAimedKid Will try it next time. It’s so frustrating joining buddies in Operation only to get blacked out. Given how damn slow the menus are in this game, that sometimes means an entire 5-10 minutes waiting for things to load backup ---

Thank you. I always wondered if there was a work around for this. One of my biggest peeves with the game is spending 5 minutes getting into a game only to be greeted by the void. ---

This likely wont be stickied folks, we have a fair amount of those as is - but what it will do is, it should help our team track down what is causing the issue a little bit better. So thank you for providing input on that! ---

For those that have this issue frequently are you quitting online play from the game menu and waiting for the “Quitting” to complete in the game or just exiting the game by using the xbox button? I started to quit within the game and waiting for the battlefield menu to come back up before I leave the game or turn off the console and I don’t have this issue anymore. I was previously just hitting the xbox button and leaving the game that way.
