Platform: Xbox Series X
Game Mode: Rush
Frequency: Approximately 2 out of every 3 matches
Severity: Critical - Match becomes effectively unplayable
Losses: Critical - Match Coins - unable to complete challenges - DNF losses and Disconnection Penalties, currently now serving my 4th 30min time penalty trying to get the score goals challenge done.
When loading into a Rush match, the game successfully progresses past matchmaking and team selection. The match itself starts and continues to run normally in the background; however, the playing field fails to render and the screen remains completely black.
The issue occurs frequently, affecting approximately two-thirds of Rush matches.
When the bug occurs:
- Screen is completely black where the pitch should be displayed.
- Match timer continues running.
- Player indicators remain visible.
- Score display remains visible.
- HUD remains visible.
- Audio continues normally.
- Crowd noise can be heard.
- Ball sounds can be heard.
- Player movement still occurs.
- The match is actively running despite the visual failure.
The game has not crashed. It appears to be a rendering or graphics loading issue affecting the match environment.
- Approximately 2 out of every 3 Rush matches.
- Not an isolated occurrence.
- Problem has persisted across multiple gaming sessions.
The following recommended fixes have been tested and did not resolve the issue:
- Fully quitting FC 27 from the Xbox dashboard.
- Restarting FC 27.
- Avoiding Quick Resume.
- Full console restart.
- Full Xbox power cycle.
- Clearing Xbox cache.
- Checking for game updates.
- General connection troubleshooting.
Issue continues after all above steps.
Other FC 27 players have reported similar Rush-mode black screen issues where the match loads and gameplay continues but visual elements fail to render correctly. EA staff have also acknowledged awareness of a Rush-related black screen issue in community discussions.
Based on the symptoms:
- Xbox hardware is functioning correctly.
- Audio and gameplay systems continue operating.
- User interface elements render correctly.
- Problem appears isolated to Rush mode.
- Issue appears to be related to rendering/loading of Rush match environments rather than a game crash.
This suggests a Rush-specific rendering bug rather than a console hardware fault.
Please investigate the Rush mode rendering system on Xbox Series X/S and provide:
- Confirmation that this issue is being tracked.
- Information on whether a fix is planned.
- Any temporary workarounds that have proven effective.
Thank you.
