Had this happen today once. Frozen City map. Third drop of the night.

[McGroober]

I've only experienced this while spectating. Seems to happen immediately after switching to a different teammate's perspective as they are taking damage. Switching to a different teammate and then back again seems to fix it.

Had it happen a few times today. Two times it occurred after I was tabbed out while the game loaded, and then I tabbed back in (previously never had this happen). Using ctrl+shift+ F11 does allow me to have some visibility, but no HUD.

I've only experienced it once.

This bug happened to me too for the first time.

How often does this issue occur?
Has happened twice since the latest patch (none previously). Initially uncommon (every 5-10 matches). Played about two hours worth of matches and haven't seen it since the second incident (watch though, that bug will mark my words in a future match! =P).

Does this occur on a specific map or any map?
Forest Colony: 1
Frozen City: 1

More Details
As others have may mentioned in the thread (adding my confirmations/observations here):

• Yellow grain filter is retained throughout pilot loadout screen & into the match.
  
• HUD elements (weapon groupings, heat, etc.) are not visible
  
• While 'tab'bing to show the scores, yellow grain layer disappears and reveals normal map colours
  
• Chat text is unaffected
  
• Night/Heat vision still exhibits yellow grain layer

It only happened once, but this is a bug that strongly affects gameplay. Will update my post if the problem continues to occur.


EDIT: Happened again, but on Frozen City.
EDIT: Updated frequency.

[Ungolf]

[Zwerch]

Happened first time to me on Forest Colony Snow, using an nVidia GTX670.

[CPL Madison]

its a new feature that seems to replace the black screen...

next match is followed by 4 fps

[Darionik]

experienced ones in about 10 games yesterday (forest nornmal)
and one time to one of my lance mate (caustic)

thermal, night, shutdown toggled in various order did not fix the problem

Experienced it few times, usually right after the map start (before match starts), on different maps.
Radeon HD 6790, Catalyst 12.10, Windows 8, DX 11

[Straylight]

Had this happen to me on Forest Colony, Centurion.

I could still access all my sub-screens (battlegrid, team roster, chat, esc menu) and controls responded normally, just... no HUD, and the yellow "signal interference" filter. While I was in a sub-screen, the filter vanished just as the HUD does normally.

I'm not sure if this is related, but: I think I was a late joiner to the match. Instead of the usual "waiting for pilots" time and the countdown, the client loaded me into the map and I was immediately unlocked and able to operate.

Since the yellow filter is a normal occurrence as the game's visuals "cycle" through various spectra (pay attention; it flashes by briefly every time you load into a map), I wonder if there's a link between the error and loading into a match the instant the match actually starts. Anyone else correlate?

[Mekata]

I had this bug on the 3rd drop after patch. My screen went yellow after load in with no HUD but terrain and mech's visable.

[evilC]

Had it once in all my games and it was prior to the Nov 20th patch.
This is not a new issue with this patch

Questions

• How often does this issue occur?
  
• Occurred once in about 15 drops last night- nothing you can do to clear it. Its the same screen that appears when I overheat and shutdown which would normally clear when you power back up. Tried to power off/on, alt+tab out and back in, heat vision, night vision, nothing worked to clear reset it.
  
• Does this occur on a specific map or any map?
  
• Happened on caustic valley
  
• What are your basic system specs? (OS, CPU, GPU, RAM)
  
• Win 7 64bit premium, i7 3.4ghz, Radeon 7870 2GB RAM, 12 GB system RAM

[Evex]

I encountered this bug on Forest Colony Snow. From what I can tell its just the filter that is screwed up, as I can still move around and use my weapons. Here is the following I noticed when encountering this bug.

Area Bug encountered: Forest colony snow
When it occurred: when loaded into the match
Other things that might be relevant

* No hud elements will appear on the screen
* Still able to move around
* Still able to use weapons, minus targeting cross hair/arm targeting circle
* Unable to tell friend from foe.

PC specs

OS: Microsoft 7 64-bit home premium SP-1

That happened to me once last night. Rebooted and cleared my shader cache. Seemed to clear up the issue.

[PiroGoth]

Just had this happen.

On Forest Colony Snow, Founders Cat.

[Subsandwich]

Never had this bug before this Nov 20th patch. Happened 3/15 matches last night. Powering down and back up did not fix. Neither did Alt-Tabbing out and back into game.

[Madoc Owain]

Prior to this patch, I have *always* experienced this at the very start of the game in Caustic, but it was a split-second event that stopped once the pilot names started populating in the display.
