Well I suppose that it’s unlikely that something that has gone unaddressed and can be fixed by some Cracker Jack method such as this and brings more attention to the issue probably wouldn’t be stickied lol. ---

Excellent find, OP! I can confirm this works on 3 seperate occasions (3/3). I always have my Weapon DOF turned OFF anyway, but simply switching it causes the black screen to go away once I return to deploy menu. Bravo Zulu ---

No problem. I’m about to link another guy who has some problems to this thread @LOLGotYerTags this isn’t directed at you, but frustrating. My friend and I have provided a simple way to deal with the black screen since it obviously is an issue and has been since day one and hasn’t been fixed. You guys close thread after thread for repeating the same topics. I’ve seen 4 today on black screen and they aren’t getting closed. There is one thread on here that can help EVERYONE who encounters a black screen. Why you guys letting my thread get buried? @T0TALfps @StarscreamUK @Braddock512 Anyone?? ---

Never seen that on PC. Thank god, if I saw that I might thought my VGA is malfunctioning and bought new one. ---

Thanks for this little work around. Unluckily(or luckily depending on how you look at it) this happened last night on my first game of the night after work/patch, little tinker in the seetings back out/back in and the black screen of nothingness/markers had been replaced with the lovely squad screen visuals as should be. +1 to OP ---
