I've also tried community suggestions like verifying the game files and running DX11 instead of 12, and nothing seems to be having a definitive fix. Ive also done dxdiags, looked at windows error logs, RAM module tests, CPU stress tests etc and everything seems to be in working order.
#Why does my screen darken when playing the settlers 3 drivers
The next thing i thought of was maybe the CPU isn't getting the right voltages etc so ive reset any aftermarket OC, upgraded the bios, upgraded chipset and hardware drivers but still no luck. All the obvious components ie GPU, CPU mobo temps are all under 45 ish degrees Celsius on average right up until the point the PC shuts off. Nor is the critique of it, which has been written about by others before me. My initial research all points to the obvious one of being an overheating issue but my entire system is watercooled and while playing games ill have the temp displays running. 8 Settlers on the Red Road Why They Do It: Settler Redemption Stories Settlers claiming Indigenous identity is not a new thing. Ive tried other intensive PC games likes Destiny 2 and i can run it for hours and have no issues at all running it at max settings. It also doesn't happen all the time and it only seems to be when i run the Division 2. The odd thing is it's only started to happen over this past week and coincidentally enough always around 20 minutes or so into the game. You can do this multiple times until you can’t really make any sense of what you see on the screen. You just can’t control it and the screen is dark. It will happen either when im in the middle of a firefight or even just sitting idle for 10 minutes inside a safe zone. If you pause the game and load a game the pause will remain in effect, except that the game will play. It's simply like the power cable has been pulled out of the PC. The game doesn't crash, there is no BSOD, no errors beforehand or anything. So over this past week ive run into an issue where i'll be playing Division 2 and out of nowhere my PC will just randomly shut off.
