    I don't have this problem with Lighting 2.0, though I got it before on rare occasions and I always managed to fix it with a Force Verify.

    I'd suggest using it in the launcher to see if a file didn't get corrupted during the patch.

    In the launcher, enter the Id and password, go into options, check Force verify, click on save, then wait until the verification and potential patching happens, and check in-game if it did something. Warning, it can take a while to verify everything, but it can help fix things without needing to tweak anything.

    Couple of things:
    1. If this is a bug, then this needs to go into the appropriate bug reporting forum. Don't throw important tech issues to the watery soup of the general forum, chances are it won't get looked at.
    2. Screenshots would help greatly, and any troubleshooting steps you may have taken (ex. changing map, restarting game, force verifying game, ect.)

    This could be a random Direct X bug or a problem with the art asset but more information is needed to say what might be going on.

    Did you try my suggestion?
    Also, since Lighting 2.0 worked for you before and is older than season 14, there is no reason for it to stop working outside a bug, since it wasn't touched for Season 14.

    This “blackout“ only happens to my Fleet Antiproton Pulsewave rifle - white / silver like with red dots and stripes
