Suddenly stops working when playing game #38

Eg. Overwatch. It worked previously and suddenly it stopped working. It works in menu, etc. Then when I start a game the lights shut off and stop working. if I alt tab to the desktop, they work, but then alt tab again and they dont.

Just an idea: Have you checked if Overwatch is running in "Windowed (Borderless)" or Fullscreen. Could be a problem with true fullscreen applications and Overwatch doing something strange on that side (don't know). Might check it later on my side if I'm back home. Never tested overwatch with it until now.

Also, you are not running Razer Synapse with the new Hue support? Possibly not, just to make sure ;P This started to do weird stuff with my lights when I tested it.

Sorry for the late reply.

Just tested the current release with Overwatch and both "Fullscreen" and "Fullscreen (Windowed) work perfectly for me. And I tried it both in practice mode and Quick Match (online). So I can't confirm your problem.

NOTE: If I remember correctly you have an AMD graphics card inside. I'm running an Nvidia. Maybe there is something strange with your drivers. Have you maybe updated them and can connect the "suddenly stopped working" problem to something like that? That's the only thing I can think about.

I'll play around with more testing, and see if I can narrow it down. It was working. Oddly what I have noticed is that it only happens when an online match starts. I load up Overwatch, and even play practice range it works. Choose competitive or quick play whatever, as soon as the match loads in, the lights go black. windowed or borderless dont change it oddly.
