Seems like every so often, I will be placed into a match with my squad, and when I am placed into the game, I will have a black screen. I can hear the in game audio, if I fire my weapon i can hear it. I have tried pressing the pause button to bring up the menu and the screen remains back. The only work around for this that i have found is to have a squad mate tell me how to run out of bounds or into water to drown. Upon my death, the visuals of the game will begin to work. Its super random, has anyone else had this issue? ---

It has happened to me multiple times as well. I always pause the game and choose to redeploy and just like your fix everything is normal afterwards. ---

It is interesting to see it re-appear in BFV hopefully the net code can reappear in BFV… ---

There must be a visual glitch that causes this, as I get black screens in other places. Like sometimes zooming in with the tank it goes black (and corrects with a refocus), or randomly with the special weapon binoculars. ---

I also will get a few other visual glitches, such as 1/2 of the screen black when trying to call in the rocket. And sometimes when you pause the game, the overlay of the menu will remain on the screen, you will then have to pause the game and resume to alleviate that issue. ---

I started seeing this in-game glitch as well (achievement info on screen). Kinda related to the friends list showing up. ---

The 1/2 black screen when calling in a V1/JB2 is due to another one being in the air. All black screen… as somebody else said previously… start, twice down on d pad, A … Gotta love these little hiccups. Something similar would be like… I just bought this brand new toyota… but occasionally it just shuts off randomly. ---

Something similar would be like… I just bought this brand new toyota… but occasionally it just shuts off randomly. but didn’t top gear do an awesome special on killing a Toyota…lol Didn’t know the V1/JB2 was in the air thing…it is stupid they place a use timer on the reinforcement…if that happens i usually miss out on the large group of ppl i’m trying to get. Thanks for clearing that up, makes sense now. SMH but it makes sense. ---
