R6 Siege results in black screen display
I just wanted to try some siege again after a while. As soon as the main menu appears, I get a black screen and the PC shuts down. No blue screen appears, and the fan speed stays normal—no sudden increase to 100%. It’s like pressing the power button. The Event Viewer shows "Kernel-Power." I ran AIDA64 stressing the whole system for 10 minutes, tested every 3DMark from FireStrike up, and played many other games without issues. I think the driver might be the issue. I updated it to the latest version, checked for chipset and driver updates, and reinstalled Siege. So far, I still don’t understand what’s wrong. My specs are: 5600 @4.65 GHz + 360mmAiO MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 ASRock RX 6950XT Phantom Gaming OC Enermax Revolution D.F. 850W. Thanks for all the advice. Edit: Resolution is 1440p Ultra-Wide (3440x1440).
Most experienced drivers face the same issues... Temperatures are typical, especially during quick loading in R6 Siege where it stays cool.
I didn't see any mention of fixing the game files. Did you attempt it recently?
It seems like a solid concept, as R6 consumes a lot of CPU power even though it doesn’t appear to be that demanding.
I attempted that but nothing changed... However, I just tested it in Vulcan and it functions properly, so I think I’m playing there now. The issue might actually be related to Siege itself... Update: dx11 is also working again... For some reason, starting the game once in Vulcan resolved it!
The more you doubt AnvilNext, the more doubts you'll encounter. The engine is a terrible mess. Apparently, the Vulkan version in Siege performs better than other Ubisoft titles, which might be a positive aspect.
