Game Goes Black, Then Disappears.

[Bazooka101]

So, I've recently decided to get back into the game, however, quite regularly, I get a small glitch where the game would freeze, go black, then disappear. The game is still there, sounds and interactions still work... but the entire game is missing. No errors, nothing. It happens on both Borderless Windowed and Fullscreen.

 

This means a restart, and because I am a solo player... this means all progress is lost. While most of the times I don't mind, it gets demoralizing when you've gotten quite far in a defense or survival mission, only to have this happen and lose.

 

Specifications:
GTX 780 Ti - NVIDIA Driver 350.12
Intel i7 4790k @ 4.0 GHz

8GB DDR3 1866Mhz Memory

Windows 7 Home Premium

The game runs butter smooth, so there's really no problem besides the crash-esque glitch that I am getting. Tell me if there is anymore information you need.

I'm having the same problem and it's been happening for a year now.  I've complained about it, reported it on the forums, and no one seems to care about this or care to respond.

Damn... it would be so bad if it didn't happen so often, like once every two hours, but it happens so erratically that it's hard to plan for it.

If you go to event viewer do you get an error with event id 4101? I've been having similar problems with a black/colored screen crash which results in me having to close the game. I'm using a GTX 970 4 GB SSC, which runs the game great... when it doesn't crash, from appearantly my display driver.

The same is happening for me. It's impossible to do any long missions anymore since I can't rely on being able to finish. It's seemed to started happening more frequently lately.

I checked, and I got an error with id 4101. That might be helpful if anyone knows what it means.

It means the display driver for your gfx card has crashed. It's been happening to me with my GTX 970 recently with all these hotfixes being thrown out left and right. I even tried updating the drivers to the newest one available, and I still get crashes.

I found that setting warframe to disable visual theme, disable desktop composition and disable display scaling on high DPI settings fixed this issue for me. Did the same thing on 3 other computers.
