So after beating the story the screen will flicker black but I can still see the HUD. Also if I look in a certain direction the black screen will become permanent until i restart the game. I can still see the HUD and the red runners vision though. I have tried restarting my Xbox, reinstalling the game, and taking the disc out. Does anybody know what this is and how to fix it or will I have to wait till the next update because I cant play the game now.

  Hi everyone this is happening to me as well. It's happend at least 3 times and I've had to close the entire game. I have also stumbled upon a whole host of visual glitches here unfortunately. I hope this has a chance of getting fixed.

  Hey guys, I haven't played this game since i created this topic but I played yesterday and everything worked fine until I snapped Youtube to play the game's main theme. So I quit it and I'm playing it right now and It's working fine. I'm still testing it but I'm 90% sure it has something to do with the snap feature on Xbox one, that is why it is happening only to Xbox players (I think). Try not playing it for a couple of days then play it but don't snap anything while you are playing it. I hope this helps.

  Same here with groove music. Definitely seems like a RAM issue with the snap feature.

  Since the update on PC, I get a black flicker during the white load screens, and also if go to the video settings and try to adjust the brightness, e.g. Things seem otherwise fine while in the game and map screen, etc.

  I just just now experienced the black screen flickering with slight runner vision being the only thing present. I honestly thought it was the drones flashing my eyes. Really frustrating. Xbox One btw.

  same here on XBOX 1. I've been playing the game for about a week, and suddenly today I'm getting a black screen when I turn a certain way, and lots of graphical glitches. FWIW I hate snap, and never snap anything, so I'm not sure why it's happening. I quit the game once, and it cleared up, but it's back again. Gonna do a reset on the console and see if that helps at all.
