I have only ever gotten a black screen once, and it was mid game. I could still hear everything going on, but the video was completely black. Not 100% sure it wasn’t my TV though.

New PC build with a GTX 1070. Fresh install, had the same black screen issue. Weapon DOF fix did nothing, windowed, borderless, fullscreen, didn’t matter. Tried multiple driver versions. Finally discovered the fix was video settings in game.

Ambient occlusion, HBAO → SSAO  
Anti-aliasing Post, TAA → FXAA High

Is this still a thing on Xbox even after the latest update? I’m planning to purchase the X soon, and it would be really depressing if this is the case.

I still regularly get it on my PS4 Pro and it has caused my death a few times already.

The screen just turn black and then the video comes back after a few seconds.

this doesn’t work for me. It only works for me when i put the settings to medium. Even if i let the game optimize by nvidia experience (which is ultra), i still have to revert it to medium settings.

I stream and most of the problem starts with players during a in game party system. Today it did it to me in the menu. The music would not even load fully. I strongly feel this server issues only!!! Please EA fix the servers.

Is there such a thing as an overenthusiastic medic? Most of the ones I’ve played with seem a little apathetic…

I played BF1 on PS4 for over 700 hours without any issues ingame. Now I got kicked out of two games with a black screen. This is something driving me off a game immediately. Stability on a console is really the number one thing to fix.
