Hi Peter, yes as others have mentioned above it's likely to be a bug in the video driver.

If you unmaximize and resize the unmaximized window does it refresh then?

You might try rolling back your video driver to the previous one and see if that does any good.

Transitioning to and from sleep mode is a pretty complex area of the operating system and it is not that unusual for there to be driver bugs in this area.

Another thing you could try is to switch the graphics interface that MoI is using. To do that go to Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button and find GraphicsAPI=Auto and set it to GraphicsAPI=OpenGL and see if you get different driver behavior.

MoI defaults to using the Direct3D11 GPU interface which usually on Windows is the most stable but possibly not on your specific hardware/driver environment.

Hey Brian,
The “gforce experience” you linked to is a software for managing your driver environment and various things, mostly for gamers. Its not the driver

Also, its mostly recommended to get your driver downloads from Nvidia. I wouldn't download them from 3rd party websites

I built my son a gaming computer and used a 2080ti. It is a monster. All the effort went into matching it with the motherboard and ram and hard drive.

Brian,
I’m sorry i didn't mean to sound like “.your post is irrelevant” and you should not post.

I had read you “haven't put much time in the area” and i was meaning to give you a bit of the filler for an “aha “ moment. You and i having a sidebar.

I always read your posts in there entirety and they are meaningful for me.

Hi Burr,

Thankyou for the "heads-up" on the difference of the basic video card driver(s), and the gaming environment driver(s). The posts were deleted to avoid further confusing of the forum topic.
Hopefully Peter will follow up with the details of a fix for the "blacked out viewports."
I am curious for the results.
