Seems like after the latest graphical updates a lot of people are getting random blackscreens

They are not random. I get them whenever I am suppressed. (Arty, grenades, being shot at and when spotting the :IS2:)

yeah i had that too

i think its only supposed to appear when being killed but i got it while heaving artillery or suppression nearby

i think i fixed that by changing in ROEngine.ini Distortion=False

but it could be considered as some kind of "cheat" because you have no distortion by arty or suppression anymore

Happens when Arti explodes near you, when you get wounded, etc.

It's not playable anymore. Constant blackscreens, and I mean really black, ruins it completely.
You can still see the cap zones when you hit T, etc. But that's it.

This sounds like you have a corrupt effects package. I would suggest attempting to verify your cache.

If that doesn't work, try deleting all the files NOT located in deeper folders in the following 2 locations and verifying cache:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\ROGame\CookedPC

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\ROGame\CookedPC\Packages\Effects

Will check that and give you feedback afterwards

I'm seeing a pattern.

I've got an Nvidia 8800GTS, but I've not experienced this. No surprise since it's not one of the new series.
