[SOLVED] Black Screen Ingame

[Downysaurus]

Rust is known for being a dark game but during night time, anytime I look at a dark surface, for example a wall or large rock, my screen goes completely black. However when I look a a surface lit by any light source, there is no issue. I have 1k hours on the game, I know its dark, but my entire HUD is also consumed by the black screen. This also occurred in Siege when my drone was jammed. When a drone is jammed, the screen becomes a dark distorted mess. This and the dark surfaces causing the issue in Rust lead me to believe that dark images that my GPU renders cause the display to go completely black. Further proving this theory is the fact that when I watched a YouTube video titled "Black screen for 1 hour", the display went completely black and the loading bar at the bottom was absent. I have an EVGA 1070ti and a 75Hz 1080p ASUS monitor, I will provide any other details if asked.

Do you have a seperate monitor you can try? The card could also be dying. Make sure your drivers are up to date and you have the latest windows update aswell.
