Monitor hangs.

Every time i shut down BF1 my monitor hangs, everything still works on my tv but my monitor just hangs. I have to unplug the power and put it back in to make it working again.

I have a asus ms228 led monitor. I use a cable that goes in the DVI port of my GTX980 and on the monitor it goes in the HDMI slot. My tv cable is HDMI at both sides but on my tv there is no problem.

The problems started after the patch.

    Can you let us know if this continues with either only the TV or monitor connected please?

  • Yes the problem also happens when i unplug my tv.

    I also tried to use the HDMI cable i normally use for my tv to connect my monitor and it still happens.

    This monitor is about 5 years old and it has done this maybe 2 times before in the past.

    But now every time i shut down bf1, even when i don't play, just start it up and shut it down it happens.

    It's just a little inconvenience that i have to reset it but it is a weird bug and it shouldn't happen, i hope you can figure this out. cheers.

  • I have a similar problem when trying to "quit" any MP game. Screen goes black but I can still hear the game music. Unplug my monitor power, replug in, and either the game has already crashed and is back to Origin home screen or I have to force close BF1. I have none of the other issues mentioned by some players(freeze, FPS drops, stutter, etc), keep up to date on Windows updates, and system drivers, run a pretty clean system overall, no overclocking/tweeks.

    The game ran fine for me in trial, had a few issues with Windows Update that caused my game to freeze for 5-6 sec a couple times per minute, but Windows Update repair solved that brief issue. Game ran good for me, and it still does, I just have an issue when trying to quit out of a match or quit the game altogether. I have had the problem since the BF1 patch the other day. 375.70 Nvidia drivers were what I was using before/after the patch, same result with crashing upon quitting game. Gave the 375.86 Nvidia drivers a try, no new issues, but still crash uopn game exit. I have done the "Repair Game" feature as well, to no avail.

    Running Win 7/DX 11

  • this also happens to me. never happened before the patch that released the other day. i quit the game, the monitor screen goes black, have to unplug the power and plug back in to fix.
