Possible fixes for Helldivers 2 <\/em>black screen error on launch<\/h2> ![\"A](\"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Helldivers-2-graphics-settings.jpg?w=640\")
Tweak these settings. Screenshot by Dot Esports<\/figcaption><\/figure> There are several causes for the black screen error in Helldivers 2<\/em>, with the most common being the game servers are at maximum capacity<\/strong>. Helldivers 2<\/em> devs have previously limited the number of players able to launch the game<\/a> and access the servers as they address server load issues, particularly on the weekends.<\/p>
Should the servers be at capacity, you will be unable to access Helldivers 2<\/em> for a short while<\/strong>. We suggest you attempt to restart the game but if the issue continues to occur, take a short break. Stay tuned to the Helldivers 2<\/em> official X\/Twitter account<\/strong><\/a> or check the Alerts channel in the game’s Discord server<\/strong> <\/a>for the latest news and server status. <\/p>
Helldivers 2<\/em> black screen error with AMD GPUs<\/h2> While this is yet to be confirmed, players have noticed similarities between AMD GPU users encountering the black screen issue<\/strong>. Unfortunately, there is no definite fix at this time.<\/strong><\/p>
Some players have discovered a potential workaround that has enabled them to play the game, although it seems this has not worked for everyone. The workaround is as follows:<\/p>
- Open the Helldivers 2 <\/em>pause menu.<\/li>
- Navigate to the “Options<\/strong>” tab.<\/li>
- Scroll down to “Graphics<\/strong>“.<\/li>
- Switch “Screen-Space Global Illumination<\/strong>” to off.<\/li>
- Switch “Anti-Aliasing<\/strong>” to off.<\/li> <\/ul>
If these steps do not work for you or you encounter a black screen error before you can change your settings, the best approach is to launch a support ticket with developer Arrowhead Games and use the official Discord to speak to other players encountering the same issue. This particular discussion has some more advanced approaches<\/a> you can try, though again there is no guarantee that they will work.<\/p>
