Question by rostyslav_ludchenko · May 21, 2018 at 03:27 PM · editorwindow

Black Screen Bug

Guys can you please help I don't know what to do or what caused this problem. After I resized window in the editor, screen became black and it freezes completely, I am not able to choose options or change anything, in order to "unfreeze" it, I need to close and re-open project. However, after resizing editor windows it happens again. I re-install Unity and looks like it fixed the issue, but, after some time it happened again, even if I just move window to another location, this keeps happening. I tried different ways, including "Clear GI cash" still the same issue, also, I no antiviruses that might block unity like that.

$$anonymous$$aybe it is a graphics card driver issue. Have you changed any hardware lately or their drivers? Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card?

I've experienced the same nuisance for a while. In my case, it had to do with GeForce controller's behavior while my laptop was unplugged. A quick fix is to plug the laptop. A more permanent fix is to disable Battery Boost. This option can be found in GeForce Experience - Settings - Games.

Well, thats weird. Try to reset your Editor Layout. Other wise try to contract an Unity Dev or something. Because it is Engine Side (Atleast it seems so), good luck!

EDIT: I just downloaded the latest drivers directly from nvidia and installed them. The problem is now fixed and the -force-opengl flag is no longer needed.


Old answer Are you using a laptop with 2 gpus? This happens to me when I use my laptop unplugged or when I unplug my laptop while using the unity editor, just keep the power plugged "solved" my problem.

Also this allowed me to work unplugged (adding the -force-opengl flag to the shortcut) https://answers.unity.com/questions/1198620/why-is-the-unity-editor-slow-and-laggy-on-my-new-l.html

Hi. This is an update for those who have this bug.

(In my case, I'm using an Asus laptop + extra monitor (the problem only happens in the main))

After trying the different options of this post, apparently, none worked, but I've found 2 more possible solutions:

-The weird one: Run obs, and just capture the Unity's window...

-The simple one: Uninstall the Unity Hub.,Hi. This is an update for those who have this bug.

First I laughed at your solution with OBS capturing a window.... but it actually works. What a weird workaround. Good job finding this one. I can now change my layout without it turning black after I moved it few pixels. :D

Thank you @RachelLaDiosa, yea I submitted bug report. Also regarding questions about drivers: I have latest version of drivers and I got pretty decent video card that I didn't change, everything else working fine. One solution for this problem is just not to resize windows at all, but that's not good, because there are a lot of situations when I really need to resize the windows

Well the funniest thing, this started to happen after I installed Unreal Engine. Not a lot of scripts there, I just started project, I have $$anonymous$$usic Player and Level $$anonymous$$anager script, nothing that plays with the light or anything like that

Did happen to me yesterday, even though this thread is quite old. @rostyslav_ludchenko do you know what happened to your bug report back then?
