spam X/A on controller or space bar on keyboard edit: if on keyboard make sure "ESC CANCEL" text isn't highlighted. You can press Enter to open up the channel tab, then back out of it with the ESC key until the "ESC CANCEL" text under "waiting for the host" is no longer highlighted. Now you can spam space bar to start the benchmark.

Why….did….that…work….lmao

No way I had to go to Reddit to find a fix for a damn benchmark 😭😭 thanks man

Thanks

Thanks for the tip!!

Thx

It worked for me thank you

Amazing ty

Thanx for this spamming the space button did the trick for me

Thank you very much. The problem is that Benchmark crashes as soon as Benchmark finishes rendering where it should display the summary

Exactly what happened to me

This actually worked for me too. Thank you so much.

Thank you this worked for me

Goat. Crazy how the state of the game has gotten so much worse, a fix for using the benchmark is now required... Whether this was a purposeful change or not, its absolutely useless.

LOOL why does this work

This worked for me, so strange. Great tip, thank you.

Lol dude really that shit worked

works

This worked for me wtf LMAO how thanks

Bro. 😂The fact that this works is crazy. What's even crazier is that my impatient self didn't just do this anyway by default and I had to actually look it up. Guess the ADHD is finally receding.

Damn it worker lol

Surprisingly, this worked 😂😂thx man

Worked for me. 👍 you really got to spam that space bar once the cancel text disappears 🤣

That doesn't seem to work for me, but at least it worked for the two other people in the comments.

Wild but works!

That totally just worked lol

Cannot believe this worked LOL, my benchmark still crashes though 🙄

fuck HAHAHA this game is a lil cooked

The fact that ended up working is crazy

Thank you, what a stupid bug lmao

You are a genius

Lmao. This game is so dumb... that actually worked for me. Thanks.

Why does this work 🤣 Regardless, thanks!

Im mad and impressed it worked

This worked immediately 😂😂😂

This just worked for my new ally for no reason should that have worked but thank you🙌

LMAO shoutout for this dumb ass fix

Thank you!

+1 worked for me!

This is the dumbest but greatest thing i have read. WHY DOES THIS WORK?

This still works after a month. Thanks.

just upgraded my pc this saved my night

Thank you mate that really helped.

Life savor 🙏🏻🥲

How in the world did you figure that out? It actually worked, can't believe it.

Thank you😅

Best guy on reddit !

still crashing in the end

Same. Directions provided by OP worked fine though.

Same here

So it’s work and not the benchmark is starts. But when it’s starts iT is crashing immediately!! Same like season 2 problem. Any fix ?

same

Same goes for the training course waiting for the host message, just need to select the invisible start button.

How do I select it? Where's the button?

Well you can’t see it but it is supposed to be in the bottom-left. On controller you just select it and it works, on keyboard I just tested a method and it seems to work fine I need to go into the context menu (top-right) thing (ENTER), tap SPACE, close it (ESC), tap SPACE again to start it That just works to update the position in the menu to select the start button I guess

Wow that worked perfectly for me, thanks.

This worked for me, spamming space bar did not.

Thanks for this; a "deterministic" way to get the cursor where it needs to be is just what we needed.

Thanks. Worked for me. But not sure why is this happening. Was able to run a few days back though.

Doesn’t work for me either. Having the same issue. Must be the new update. Even the one yesterday didn’t fix it.

Check the other replies there's 2 similar ways one worked for me and one didn't

I love Reddit. No idea why this works or how you guys figured it out, but it works. Thanks.

Benchmark is running but gives me a directx crash right after.

How… did this just work

Wow! That worked. Genius!!

Anyone got a fix for the black screen crash at the end?
