Black world map after SU3

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

After first start on SU3 the World is shown in black. I can select an Airport and Start the flight but then I anly see is black (see Screenshots). I have unistalled the nvidia driver by DDU and installed the newest one 581.08 but nothing has changed. befor SU3 everything was running without any issue.

Edit: I was using a multi monitor setup (three displays) and if I add a second render display the world appears on this second window but i am not able to bring both together.

Edit 2: Have removed the game and installed it new from store, same result.

Moved to User Support Hub > User Interface & Activities as the OP has noted that the issue has been solved.

Same problem here temporaney fixed with launching in “-fastlaunch”. other way no fix

Solved with a change in “Nvidia App”

Before i had “V-sync” set to “fast”. I have fixed the black map and loading screen issue setting it to “managed by the game setting/3d app”

I have exact same problems, and I have to restart like 4-5 times before it works again, actuallt, it seems that it works only when a restart follows a CTD.. Honestly, this is no solution at all, we need a proper fix please. Exact same configuration as the originator of this thread: 3 monitors, the central one displays black, the other 2 work fine. But then, we can’t see the world map..

Game will not load, the ground is black, no earth in background, black screen in gameplay

trying to find a solution but my post got moved here and this is not a solution, it is being ignored.

the earth is black in the free flight window, it is black when picking a departure, it is black once i get to the airport on the outside view, it is black when i enter the aircraft. i have reinstalled and changed map layers and restarted numerous times. Have not seen this before. nothing in the community folder, this only stared happening today after my first load (it said i need an update) I am on the beta for SU4 and didnt have any issues until today. Internet is full speed, but it seems like a server issue. NEED HELP NOT RELOCATION TO A DEFUNCT POST>

Some similar issues with different solutions:
Black screen, but with UI elements visible - #10 by swissy777
Black screens with UI - #7 by JohnBrace

This is a first for me. The world and worldmap is not showing in the sim.
Reinstalled and started with an empty community folder and still no world(map).
Tried all the online servers and still no world (map)

Any suggestions?

I got the same Problem since SU4 was released.

I was in the SU4 Beta and everything works fine.

Tried everything what i can find on the internet. Use DDU, Reinstall the game, reset the settings in the Nvidia control panel, changed the V-Sync settings, install an older Nvidia driver, repair the XBox app but nothing works.

What is your screen resolution setting ? did you try to lower it ? (don’t know if related)

4K on the main Screen and Full HD on the secondary.

I tried to start the game on both screens. But nothing helps.

I tried to start in Window mode but nothing.

The only way to get no black screen is to start it in the FastLaunch mode via PowerShell but i think thats not a correct way to fix the problem.
