When I spawn in with a Starfighter in Galactic Assault on Kamino my screen is totally black except for icons. I can't see anything else. Where I'm flying, or what I'm shooting at. Not sure if this is happening to anyone else or on any other maps but it's extremely frustrating.

I've included a URL to a video showing what had happened to me. I then spawned in as a normal trooper and things were fine. Respawned as another starfighter and bam! Darkness. Other people in starfighters could clearly see me. I REEEEALLY hope this isn't a problem that's going to take forever to be addressed. Starfighters are a huge percentage of the fun for me in this game.

    Heard others complaining about this in game. Unfortunately, the standard is... Waiting for the next month's update.

    I'm still waiting for them to fix the game so it doesn't CTD every other round.

    I'm still waiting for them to fix the CTD issue on startup. It's caused by the uncapped FPS but EA/DICE just refuse to fix it even though they listed it to do TWO PATCHES AGO.

    Remember how they broke the orbital strike on Hoth AT-AT's in patch 1.1?  That still hasn't been fixed.  Not holding my breath on this one either....

    I have the same problem on PC, and many other players were complaining about it in the in-game chat.

    In the LAAT, it gives you a huge unfair advantage because you can identify targets much easier. I killed 6 troopers in about 10 seconds because of this. In starfighters, it makes gameplay impossible because you inevitably crash into something you can't see.

    I also am having this problem on the PS4.  I selected a fighter on the Kamino board as the droids and the screen was entirely black.

    I've only had this on Kamino, so far other maps seems o.k.  I've heard that others are seeing it on kashyyyk, but I was o.k. on Kashyyyk.  For me, Starfighters have also been fine on Takodana, Tatooine, Starkiller, and Hoth.  I'm on PS4.
