Screen goes black while looking at Kuva Siphons

[TheEpicSatyr]

Hey all so I've been having a odd issue. When I'm running Kuva Floods or Siphons I'm getting this odd black screen when I look at Kuva Siphons. This mostly occurs when the kuva is active and moving towards it but has happened multiple times without as well. I'll attach some pics below.

[PurpsJL]

Got the same bug, got my own pic I'll post too. It only happens from certain spots/angles but consistently from those exact spots/angles. I feel like it has to do with maybe the smoke produced by the kuva syphon itself. It seems to be independent of anything else (mobs or the kuva cloud) that appears in the mission. It obscures everything thing in the black box area.

Just got resource booster today and decided to farm kuva, then this bug showed up. The earliest report on this forum were 2/19, hope this get fixed soon.

There's a lot of settings that could potentially contribute to that, please post a screenshot of what graphical settings you're using :)

Oh this issue has been reported many times since many months ago.

[(PSN)Crazy_Mr_J]

Same problem on PS4 ; just for info...

[Petroklos]

This has been around for over a year, I'll post a screencap + settings next time a get it.

All people on ps have the same issue , its NOTHING  have todo with gamesettings!!

[TARINunit9]

I am 100% sure that this is due to particle effects filling up some buffer in memory. Like in Mario 64 but without the game crash

[Psychonosis]

Same issue, 1080ti all graphics maxed except gpu particles at 25%.  New, have not seen the issue before the last week or so.

I got the bug today again. First of all, the Black Boxes didn't appear until after I destroyed the first braid. In addition to that, they disappeared when I got closer to the Siphon and reappeared as I moved further away.

Here's me looking at a Kuva Siphon:

Here's me one step too close, making the black box disappear.

I'm on DX11, Classic Renderer, and the following Settings:

As for Hardware and Software, I'm using an i7 3770k, 16GBs of RAM and a GTX 960 (2GB), on Windows 10.

[Aemular]

Yeah, I have the same issue. I'm running a i7, 16 GBs Ram, GTX1070, also on windows 10. From super far away and very close I don't get the black box, but midway (in game 20 "meters" to 50 meters) the box appears. 

[Renzo]

I already replied to another topic about this, but the issue is caused by the setting bloom and you can workaround it by disabling the effect in the options. Changing the intensity of bloom does not seem to have an impact on the issue.

[PhasOne]

SOLUTION for me: activate GPU Particles

[Psychonosis]

I run them at 25%, but it also didn't happen for the last few days.

[Petroklos]

Got it again today, in a completely unrelated Area and Gamemode. Turning off Bloom did indeed fix it, like Renzo recommended.

Bloom On at 10%:

Bloom Off:

This also has been happening on switch periodically 

[Psychonosis]

Thanks Renzo and Petroklos!  I was going to post that I did figure out that it's only at medium distance.  When I get closer it pops back to normal.

[Redfeather75]

Is this fixed now. I saw a post on reddit saying the smoke is invisible? If it is fixed I can do kuva siphon missions again. 😲

[Psychonosis]

With bloom turned off I can see the smoke clouds, I'll try to remember to try turning it on later to see if it's still messed up.

 

OK- the black box is gone with Bloom at 25%...  Maybe they fixed it.
