All black screen, game still playing

Product: NHL 23
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? l-PR3Y-l
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Idk, I loaded into a game of squad battles in HUT, maybe try that
What happens when the bug occurs? Game is playing, shows player names, icons around characters, scoreboard & clock but everything else is black green so it’s unplayable. Instant loss fo the game, lose out on points towards squad battles rewards or lose coins trying to play the match again.
What do you expect to see? To be able to see the ice, players, puck etc. so that I can actually play the game.
Was the issue in online or offline mode? Online
Insert Game Mode or Feature here Squad battle (HUT)
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 9:20
What is your time zone? PST - GMT - 8:00
EASHL issues? Please insert your Club Region. N/A
What is your game language? English

So far only saw the problem once but I’m worried to play more games because I don’t want anymore guaranteed losses, and I’ve seen a few other posts about this bug on here.

  • No lights in arena / game. Recurrent problem. About 20% of game. Same problem on my Xbox S & Xbox X. Resetted both console. Deleted the game and reinstalled it. Still same constant issue.

    During game play my screen is black, the player names light up but cannot see anything.  This brings a new meaning to night games.

    What happens when the bug occurs? The screen on the ice itself goes black. You can see player icons and that’s about it. Oh, and you can see the scoreboard so when the computer routes you for nothing you lose either way have to reset the game pay 500 coins to retry and guess what black screen again
    What do you expect to see? This fixed properly

    No, I got tired of taking pictures of the same thing that I posted at dozen times please fix your game. This is completely unplayable. The black screen in hut squad battles is getting worse now it seems to be every single game is a black screen. I reset the game pay 500 coins try it again and it’s a black screen. now it’s a loss and it can’t be played at all.

    Hello,

    This is something we're currently investigating. When we have some news, there should be an announcement on our official channels.

  • I believe this happens when the games goes idle for some period of time but havent done any extensive testing myself.
