Random black screen

Since updating to .2 I will randomly have the screen go black for a few moments. Then it comes back, but zoomed in like crazy. Then it goes black again for a few moments. Then it comes back to normal and I can play again. If it happens in a map, I lose all the mini map progress I’ve made. Everywhere is “new” again.

I also have been having the issue since updating to 0.2.0. happens around 30 minutes of play. I have 2 desktop PC's and both are doing it.

PC1
AMD 7800x3d
32GB Corsair CL36 6000mt Ram XMP
Asus Tuf 4090 running nvidia drivers 566.36
Asus Tuf X670E + Wifi Mother Board connected to internet via on board ethernet
Samsung 2TB 990 Pro SSD
Windows 10 (all updates installed)

PC2
AMD 7600x3d
32GB G.Skill CL32 6000mt Ram Expo
Asus Tuf 3080 10gb Running nvidia drivers 572.83

I'm having a similar issue. Seems to occur during combat, but no triggered by anything in particular.

*Edit: Seems to be a rendering issue. Using AMD and NiS does not want to play nice.

*Edit2: Seems to happen in HUBs just as much as maps. Can be "triggered" by walking to certain areas in a HUB, some areas are free from the black screen, others seem to "turn it on" like a trigger.

*Edit3: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3763107 FIXED

Same. Just started happening to me today on 15th. No system or setting changes. Obviously rebooted, cleared and updated drivers after that. Getting more common too.

This just started happening to me after installing the latest patch released 04/15/25. I am fighting Viper in Act 3 and the screen randomly turns black. This appears to happen more often when I throw the explosive spear.

I have been fighting Viper for a few hours today already and there were no major issues until I updated.

Guys, revert to Nvidia's Dec 2024 driver.

It's nvidia's fault.
