What if my DOF was already set to “off” and I get the Black Screen Glitch?
Doesn’t work for me
Great I’ll try this next time it happens to me thanks
(ouch just bumped my head on this thread if only I could get a sticky plaster)
If it was off (which mine always is) still turn it on and back off.
Wow thanks man! Saves me a lot of time. Got this bug like almost never but still.
No problem
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
Yep, works every time. I keep waiting for it to happen to I can give video instruction, of course it’s not happening now though lol
Have a video to post
No you don’t 
It worked for me on a first try!
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!
tried the trick on xbone tonight and it did’nt work 
Here is a video so everyone can see exactly how to do it. Follow it exactly and it will work for you
Go to video settings
Turn on dof
Go back to deploy screen
Go back in and turn it off
If you play with dof on turn off then back on and follow the instructions
@T0TALfps @LOLGotYerTags @Braddock512 video is here if you’d like to pass it on
I bet you were wishing you’d get the black screen so you can record the fix
Haven’t had the black screen since you put the thread up but thanks for the post
Kind of was. Don’t think some believed me lol
The first time i got the black screen of icons. I thought it was battlefront all over again. That;s all I got in that game unt
some of them stickies up the could use some Googone…A sticky of quick fixes and helpful hints would be better than some others. …cough,cough…Giants Shadow.
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.
