[EA app] Mass Effect 2 Black Screen on Collector mission
I played with no issues for 20 hours. While I was doing the first collector ship mission my game started to freeze for few seconds, show a black screen, then shut itself off. I couldn't find a fix anywhere, after a few tries managed to finish it without crashing.
It showed the black screen almost every mission, but I could finish the mission with no issues after few tries, but now the game became unplayable since it shows the black screen after 5-10 seconds of gameplay. I play on PC with no mods installed, bellow is a list of things I've tried.
1) Lowering graphics, disabling any effects.
2) Repairing the game and re-downloading via EA app.
3) Running in compability mode
4) Running in windowed mode
Nothing has worked so far
There are VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED errors in your DxDiag.
This means that the video engine is not responding within a period of time specified by Windows and therefore the video driver is reset.
This causes the game to crash. (And probably the black screens as well).
- Follow this manual to the letter to cleanly uninstall all AMD driver components.
- Install the graphics driver > Go online.
- Test.
