If you're trying to play Black Myth: Wukong but are having black screen errors when launching or playing on your Windows 10 or 11 PC, this guide offers several troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue on Windows operating systems.

Fix Black Screen Issues Using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)

Instead of the standard driver uninstallation method via Control Panel, try using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU).

• Download Display Driver Uninstaller
• Launch the program and select the option to remove GeForce Experience (GFE) if prompted. This step is important.
• After the process is complete, restart your computer.
• Reinstall your graphics drivers, ensuring your internet connection is re-established to prevent Windows from automatically installing generic drivers.
• After reinstalling your drivers, re-download GeForce Experience and update your drivers as needed. If the issue persists, repeat the process.

Disable or Adjust Your Overclock Settings

If you have custom overclock settings on your CPU, GPU, or RAM, consider disabling them temporarily to see if the issue goes away.

• Disable any GPU, CPU, or RAM overclocking settings.
• Start Black Myth: Wukong to check if the black screen issue persists.
• If disabling overclocking fixes the issue, gradually reapply your overclock settings, beginning with the GPU, then CPU, and finally RAM, while monitoring for stability.

Optimize In-Game Graphics Settings: Use DLSS and FSR

Graphics settings can affect game stability. Follow these steps to optimize your in-game settings:

• Start the game on the lowest possible graphics settings while maintaining your preferred resolution.
• Gradually increase the graphical settings, launching the game after each adjustment to find the optimal balance between visual quality and stability.

Double-Check Mods in Black Myth: Wukong

Mods can enhance gameplay but may also cause issues, especially with new games that receive frequent updates.

• Temporarily disable any mods you're using.
• Start Black Myth: Wukong without mods to see if the issue is resolved.
• If the game runs without issues, enable mods one at a time, launching the game after each to identify the problematic mod.
• Make sure your mods are up to date and compatible with the latest version of the game.

Verify Game Files in Steam

Sometimes, game files can become corrupted, particularly on Windows 11 or when using mods. Verifying the integrity of the game files can resolve this.

• Launch the Steam client.
• Go to the Library tab.
• Find Black Myth: Wukong, right-click and select Properties.
• In the Local Files tab, click "Verify integrity of game files."
• Allow time for the verification process to complete, which may take longer for larger games.

Once verified, you should be able to update and play the game without further issues.
