Ink Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Captain, have you tried those steps: update or/and reinstall GPU drivers; verify integrity of game cache ( (right click on NA in steam lib->properties->local files) or reinstall the game; monitoring GPU temperature (with a program like GPU-z) while Naval Action is running and the problem happens; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Ribault Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Perhaps disable any screen video recording or capture and see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment i was just outside the port in open sea i did nothing and i get another black screen realy i can do anything no ctrl alt del nothing works only when i push on some buttons i get a strange noice ping ping ping ,i have to restart the pc by pushing the power button. the strange thing is when i play battlefield on ulta high and the temperatuur goes to 80 i can play and i have no problems only in naval action i get black screens its realy anoying if you are in battles and this happens in pvp you are dead and maybe in missions you can survive . i also thinking maybe its my motherboard that i have to update or flash??? its from 2012 yesterday i instal an old video driver from oktober 2016 afther that no black screen but today it happens again , i also start naval action in X86 no result realy i dont know what i can do else??? where in de pc can i find what the problem is ? eventlog? i dont have any thing on that is recording greetings Janhendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vizzini Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 you could try and turn down the ingame settings for graphics and see if that helps how old is your gfx card ? It's not a bad one for the game by any means , just wondering how many miles it's done. My gtx570 can't handle the highest settings but it's never blue / black screened and is 6 years old nearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ink Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Captain, make sure everything else is updated as well (like windows, motherboard drivers etc.) and reply back if the problem still happen. Also, you can try to check the game on the testbed server with Unity 5 build: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect your card to have problems on all games if it's having problems. Nvidia cards often had problems with water based effects, not sure for recent cards. This is why I suggested trying to lower the settings , to see if it helps or makes no difference. Does windows update automatically ? Does nvidia auto update ? Are you using the latest driver ? Have you had problems since a driver update ? is your case and card full of dust ? Check with nvidia on the web for a guide to card temps ? Lots to try , hope things get better for you 23 hours ago, janhendrik said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janhendrik Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 oke this is what happens my max resolution is 1920x1080 then i put the settings back first to 1680x1050 no result, then i try my resolution on 1600X1024 at the moment i have no black screen ,what i also did i put another monitor on my Pc max resolution 1600x900 and everything works fine no black screen. I use the program speccy to control my temperatuur of the processors ,with higher resolution temp gtx 970 goes higher in the past i had no problems playing max 1920X1080 now i have ,is there a reason for it? only i didnt have update my motherboard at the moment its a driver from 2012 greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vizzini Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 try changing the ingame quality settings too has their been a graphics driver update ? have you got dust everywhere in your case making the fans work too hard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janhendrik Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 The only thing what helps is to underclock my gtx 970 , i changed the core clock from 0 to -280 ,so my gtx 970 is the problem,ot it is the cooling no dust ,i have update the latest driver, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilo Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 A few months late but I had the same problem with Naval Action after reinstalling. With plenty of ram and GPU to go around I was stumped as my system had no issues with other games. I turned off the "full screen mode" option under options/graphics which puts you into windowed full-screen. Not a crash since. If playing this way isn't suitable the only thing I can think of is the game isn't meshing well with the monitor/in-game or gpu controlled resolutions.
