Fix Black Screen Issues Using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)

Most PC gamers are familiar with this process and for good reason! It fixes pretty much every graphics problem that isn't a hardware one. As a result, it's always at the top of the list!

• Download Display Driver Uninstaller

• Download the latest graphics drivers for your hardware, then disable your Internet connection.

• Open it then select the option to remove GeForce Experience (GFE) if prompted. (Remove the AMD software if you are using AMD)

• 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.

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 Call of Duty Black Ops 6, 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.

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 Call of Duty Black Ops 6 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 Call of Duty Black Ops 6

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 Call of Duty Black Ops 6 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.
