Players in Elite Dangerous have encountered a persistent bug causing the game screen to go completely black when transitioning into or out of the Surface Recon Vehicle (SRV). Although the game remains active and responsive in the background, players lose access to menus and controls, forcing a hard restart via Ctrl+Alt+Delete. This issue reportedly occurs at least once per session and can happen multiple times in a single play session, disrupting gameplay flow significantly. Commanders relying on SRVs should stay alert for updates or official fixes addressing this problem.
