Start of match, entire screen is black. This has happened once before. Occasionally (usually while holding down some keyboard button) I get flickers of vision. Everything is very blocky and I can't make out any text or numbers. All letters and numbers are replaced by rectangles of the matching color. All mech icons are rectangles of the matching color. Pretty much everything that is supposed to have a defined shape is a rectangle. Post-match the bug persists and I can't see status screen or who won or any of my cash gains. The sound works fine during all of this and all inputs are correct. I have full control of my mech and chat but can't see. Not a clue what this is.

[If there is a bug forum please direct me there or move this thread. Thank you. Funnily enough, during the breif bits of vision, I managed to make my way over to the enemy capture point and get it 90% captured before I was attacked. I don't know if we won or lost that match because of not being able to see the results screen. If you know the outcome of the match, please tell me.]

Oh, I suffer from this every other day. It's a known bug... extremely annoying and only goes away with client reboot. There's a thread about it here: http://mwomercs.com/...nching-a-match/

Haha wow weird, On an up note it kinda reminds me of the good old days on MW2

From what I've read though a simple client reboot does the trick, have a read in that thread that Zphyr linked.

Update to blindness bug.
Screen is flickering rapidly when I can see with everything being rectangles.  When I can't see it is 100% black screen.
I noticed today that when I am turned 180 degrees away from the enemy base the flickering is most rapid and the screen is visible nearly all the time.  The more I turn towards the enemy base the slower the flickering gets.  When I am 90 degrees away it is on roughly 25% of the time.  Pointing my vision anywhere less than 90 degrees away from their base makes my screen entirely black.  This will probably help a lot in figuring out what it is.EDIT: sorry about bump, letting this thread die. Switching to the one zphyr linked.

I hope they fix this soon. The brightness/darkness bug in Forest Colony still hits me now and then and it's also annoying.
