Here's an odd issue that I'm getting that I haven't found any previous postings for.

My game runs fairly straightforward, except for one issue.  Every time I've exited a conversation back into 3rd person view, the screen goes black.   Mind you, it's not a crash - I can access the menu using the 'Esc' key, and sometimes you'll see odds and ends, like NPC health bars and such, but the environment is pitch black.  I can move the character around the screen, and the audio seems to work fine.

So far, my only solution has been to save, then reload the file - that seems to restore the 3rd person view.  However, in moments that are followed by action, where you can't save, I've been stuck - I'm staring at black screen, while the action goes on in the game.

My Specs:
Windows XP SP3 machine, AMD Phenom II x4 965 Processor, 4 Gigs of RAM (3.41 read by XP - yes, I'm waiting for a moment to upgrade to Win 7 64bit), 1x NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 GFX card running 195.62 NVidia drivers.
DirectX 9.0c drivers installed.

Seeing some of the other problems people have had on here, I'm half-lucky, I guess.

Oh yes you are really lucky that you can work around your bug. My is almost impossible short of a full blown on hijack exe fix. I can't load galaxy map and as a result I am stuck in the area where you first load normandy.

Yeah, I consider myself damn lucky, to be honest.   I ended up rebooting my computer, and played with some monitor settings, and it seems to have mended itself for the moment.   No idea what happened there.   But I'll keep an eye on it.

Alright, just for those taking notes and looking out for errors like this. I think I've been able to get this particular error to repeat, as well as cataloging how this particular error affects the game, at least in my instance.



It starts a scene being played out in the Communcations Room of the Normandy 2. The scene will play out, interactions and everything. However, as the conversation ends, and the view returns to the 3rd person, the room goes completely dark. The game does not crash, and you can navigate around the room. All non-3rd person screens show up, including the map as well as the Escape key functions, but returning to the 3rd person results in a black screen.



I've tried saving the game in the Communications Room, then reloading, only to get a black screen. However, using the map to navigate out of the room, saving and reloading brings the 3rd person view back up. This results in some errors afterwards, unfortunately. Further instances where a conversation exits into a third person view have chances of going black on the screen. Also, on the stat point add screen entering a mission, you can't see the heads of the crew as you move through the 3 characters in the party.



Saving, then exiting and re-entering the game seems to fix the problem, at least until the next time a cut scene in the Communications Room occurs.



Again, this is more of an annoyance, rather than a serious error (at least until you hit a point where you can't immediately save, such as entering combat right after a cut scene).
