PDA extremely leggy with black screen.
I'm currently experiencing some problems with the game where when trying to open the PDA the game will significantly slow down (from roughly 20-30 FPS) too 1-3 FPS. The screen also remains black except for HUD on both the PDA and main menu although the main menu does not have this same slow down. I believe this may have started shortly after unlocking the first agency misson within free roam.
-am using PC with all DLC installed.

Direct X isn't overwritten partially? Reinstall it to be sure. I think DirectX 9 is the right one.
Could you make sure, that the game is in "true" - fullscreen. No parts of the background nor the taskbar is visible or showing up, when you move the mouse over it. The game has a bad fucus. It can't make itself sure to be in front. Badly written code.

That wasn't the problem for me, DirectX was completely fine. Any other solutions?

Bump.
Had the same problem and turning off steam overlay or discord overlay fixed it for me. I turned both of them so I don't know which one was causing the problem.

Yep discord overlay was the problem. Was working fine as soon as I disabled it.

After trying all of these, I still am having this issue. I have been trying to find an answer and this is the only thread I could find with the same problem I am having. I am just aimlessly wandering around because I can't find a mission due to the map issue.

If you have Discord installed try COMPLETELY closing it out through system tray and or task manager. Apparently, even if you have overlay disabled on the Discord client it still likes to be partially activated. If you want to still use Discord you can use the web version.

It worked perfectly. Thank you so much. Very annoying however.

Actually, you only need to close Discord the first time. After the PDA is loaded for the first time, it works perfectly every other time with no complications, even with Discord running.

As for the the fact that Discord overlay is partially active, I can only assume that it's because of the option in the settings that lets your turn it off and on with just a quick keybind and it is automatically set. I only just accidentally figured this out yesterday on accident.

Turning discord overlay off fixed it, thanks for the help!
