How to Fix Black Screen Issue in Black Desert Online

In this guide, we will show you how to fix the black screen in Black Desert Online. Let’s start!

Black Desert Online Black Screen Fix

The appearance of a black screen after starting the game can be caused by two main reasons:

1. The game hasn’t loaded yet.
2. A system crash has occurred that prevents the game launcher from working correctly.

In the first case, everything is pretty clear. If you hear sounds from the main menu keys, then most likely the computer did not have time to load the game content. You should wait for some time before all the features of Black Desert will be available for use. Sometimes this time reaches 2-3 minutes. It all depends on the characteristics of your computer.

If you have waited quite a long time, and there is no result, then use the following methods to resolve the error.
