Not sure if you were replying to me but I'll assume you were.
I don't have some of the options you give, FXAA for example.
Basically, AA is disabled everywhere and attempting to enable it in the control panel for the process divides the frame-rate by two even though it's still technical "disabled" as i "let the app chose", same if i force it to 4x.

Anyway, I'm not sure why it would be the AA since the game starts OK on the beach and i can see until i start moving. Not sure if it also gets dark after a given time. I'll try later.

I also saved the game as soon as i got to the beach and then attempted to load the save when the screen became black. It remained black. I'll try loading from a fresh launch while everything is still visible.

Edit :
ok, was able to load my previous save file on the beach right after spawning. Everything is visible and i didn't move for about 10 minutes now. Used the global chat to send some messages. attempted to move the characters to the boat on the left, no problem. started making my characters fight each-other :
Bloodletting : no problem
Razor's Edge : black screen during cast animation !

Gonna try again after restarting.

Edit 2 :
- Restarted on the beach, waited a few secs to be sure and then casted Razor's Edge, black screen. By looking closely, the screen went black when my character hit the ground during the animation and that yellow circle on the ground expanded a bit for about 2 meters.

- Restarted again, waited a few secs and casted Bloodletting, nothing (no black screen) for about 5 minutes.

I think i can safely state that this bug is reproducible on my hardware by standing still at the beginning and using the skill Razor's Edge.
If the screen becomes black, the game must be restarted before loading the save again, otherwise it will stay black.

First i thought it was only when moving the characters but also noticed it could randomly happen if only moving the camera around, even in dark non visited areas.
Today i reproduced it with minimal actions. Start a new game and cast a skill, that's all.

I first noticed this on the previous update without any changes to my hardware/drivers, i'll need to try the two previous updates to confirm but i suppose there is no way to go back. :s

I can send this GPU to the devs at my expense if it helps to troubleshoot the issue. I don't mind.
