My screen is completely black, but is being projected onto my chat window

This is a new one for me. Clicking in the darkness on the lower right-hand quadrant will allow me to interact with the power tray. I just... can't see anything clearly enough. Because it's so small.

 

If it helps, yesterday I tried messing with some NVidia settings to see if I could fix something in OBS related to the V-sync. It didn't change anything in OBS, and reverting those changes now doesn't seem to fix things, but that's the only visual setting thingie I've touched recently.

 

It's also worth noting that I've *always* had resolution issues with this game on this laptop because of my screen size. I can basically only play by being willing to make the progress bar on glowies be incredibly thin with unreadably small font. Dunno if this is related to that but, uh... yeah.

I had the same exact issue and was able to fix it by going into the HC launcher and clicking the gear at the top, then selecting "Homecoming" and then checking the box "Reset graphics settings on the next run"
 

I hope this works for you too.

That's not being projected onto your chat window, it's being scaled down to that part of the screen. That's probably either a graphics driver issue or simply the game's visual settings gone awry, hence why the above suggestion would work.
