Screen goes black during battle

[Biaxil]

Sometimes in the middle of a fight, my whole screen goes black. I have DLed and ran Lavish/Win EQ, but that didn't seem to fix the problem. This makes the game very frustrating, due to dying from it. What can I do to keep this from happening again.

Also, if I try to put the game in fullscreen, the game just crashes to desktop.

What mob/mobs are you fighting when the screen goes black? I don't mean to insult you, but maybe they are using blind =p.

Also, when you go full screen and it crashes, do you get an error message? If so, what does it say?

[Darkpretzel]

Lol I have totally thought the game crashed when in reality Blind.

Orcs outside of crushbone. lol, is that seriously what is causing that to happen? I was a level 6 at the time.

I got no error message outside of the game.
If it is that that was a spell, that is kind of awesome.

Ill read through those Lyra, and post what worked, but like the people said above, it might be a spell casted on me. I have to see if it happens again, and make not of it. Thanks all for the help.

Yes

So annoying. I stop moving, type /loc (without seeing my screen of course) multiple times and hope I don't go LD when I die so I can see my last loc.

if I try to put the game in fullscreen, the game just crashes to desktop.

This is not caused by a mob though.

Yeah those oracles (and that stray shaman near the zone in to CB) cast blind - horrible spell :P

[Biaxil]

That might be the coolest effect of any spell ive ever seen in a game. At least they don't cast "Crash to desktop."

[gotrocks]

Yeah, you're being blinded by mobs, lol. It causes your screen to go completely black.

You will think blind is cool til you go do reavers in CoM a few times. Then come back and let us know how you like it :)
