I've been playing PWI on this computer for a couple days....had my graphics setup so I wasn't lagging at any point, everything seemed to be fine.

Last night I got on...everything was okay for about 5 minutes or so, then all of a sudden the game screen started flashing black and then trying to come back on, then the colors got all weird...it kept flashing until I finally shut it off. Turned it back on and the same thing happened....all was fine for a few minutes...then bam it went haywire on me again. Anyone else come across this issue or know what the problem might be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, love this game so far, and everything was fine until now.

EDIT: This is only happening within the game screen, NOT my entire desktop/monitor.

    I'm having a similar issue, except my screen flashes white, I haven't been helped yet so hopefully they answer you so I can find out as well.

    I've known a few people to have this issue actually, so yes, even maybe a basic idea of what might be wrong would be better than nothing.

    In many cases, your hardware is overheating, starting to fail, or your graphic drivers are corrupt (or you have the wrong ones installed, which can cause an overheating issue).

    If everything was fine, and now it is not fine, that might be the issue.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?
