Screens blacks out can hear stuff in back including Discord but can't see anything. Updated Invidea drivers un overclocked my machine all of this doesnt fix this.

There are two types of black screens. One is a GPU problem, the other is actually network problem.

 

For the standard GPU problem, either your screen will turn off (no signal) or be black and unable to alt-tab. Everything is still actually running, but the GPU crashed. It may recover, allowing you to alt-tab, but GW2 may remain black and unresponsive. It can be caused by bad drivers, unstable power, hardware or software. Some GPUs come pre-overclocked for example, and can become unstable over time. Use software like MSI Afterburner if you want to underclock the GPU. Try older drivers, disabling all overlays (NVidia GFE sharing/shadowplay, Windows 10 Xbox/game bar/game mode) and lower GW2's settings.

 

For the network problem, it's caused by packet loss and it's basically the error/disconnected screen without a message. In this case, only the game is black and you can press F12 to bring up the logout menu. You can try running the game on port 80 or 443 (-clientport 80), or using a VPN.

I ran the program minimised to get the Achievements it seems to be the only instance thats giving me trouble. Thats to say though I havent gone through GW2 just to find out what crashes.
