lol that’s awesome thanks man. I do have to make clear to anyone who may not have seen, I did not find this, just helped a friend spread the word so that as many people could see this as possible
Not sure if this situation has already been mentioned, but I received the black screen last week and I turned off Weapon DOF and it fixed the issue and I just left it off, never turned it back on and never noticed anything different.
Well, last night the black screen happened again and Weapon DOF was already off, so I turned it back on and it fixed the issue again!
I guess weapon dof is supposed to blur out the edges of the screen when your sighted in on your iron sights, but I never notice either way.
Don’t know if this has been mentioned before, but yesterday when I got loaded into the match I got a digital snowy multi-colored screen like on a tv set that lost its signal. I used this same fix and turned weapon dof off and when I went back to the game it fixed itself and the game screen was normal again.
Yeah man. Halfway through Conquest on Giant Shadow. Ibwaa in a Bomber, got a quad kill on F and BOOM. Screen went black instantly. Ibwas srill flying and was able to turn the plane around and got a triple kill on a marked tank. Then I crashed lol.
Tried the fix in the OP of this thread, didn’t work. Had to close the entire game and reenter BF1.
Guys, I’m on a PC and have logged over 350 hours with a rank of 84. I can reproduce this black screen issue ALWAYS when I choose a bomber enabled plane, then when flying, toggle between the BOMB AIMING HUD in order to target where you want to bomb. BAM it happens with no recovery no matter what you do in the VIDEO settings. Only resolution is to exit game and restart.
I talked to EA tier 2 support , and they looked at my logs and examples and told me it was a HW issue and to validate by going to this URL and running the detection:
I have a i7 3770K CPU and Nvidia GTX 670 GPU non-overclocked. Minimum CPU is *Intel Core i5 6600K. BUT, I see many other people seeing this issue, including XBOX and PS4 users, so it does NOT seem to be a HW or Platform issue, but rather a BF1 Video bug.
Is there any other way besides messing with the VIDEO settings in game to resolve this to keep playing? My next attempt will be to try to overclock my CPU to see if it works. If it does, I will post results here.
