If your hardware meets the requirements, reinstalling your graphics drivers is a good start, but don’t use Control Panel. Do this instead.
- Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from the official website.
- Run the program and choose to remove GeForce Experience (GFE) if prompted.
- Restart your PC after the process is complete.
- Reinstall the latest GPU drivers, ensuring a stable internet connection to prevent Windows from installing generic drivers.
- Reinstall GeForce Experience (if applicable) and update your drivers as needed.
- If issues persist, repeat the steps.
Optimize In-Game Graphics Settings
Adjusting the game's graphics settings can improve stability:
- Start with the lowest graphics settings while keeping your preferred resolution.
- Gradually increase settings while testing for stability after each adjustment.
- Enable DLSS 3, DLAA, and Reflex (if supported by your hardware) to enhance performance.
Disable and Readjust Overclocking Settings
Overclocking your GPU, CPU, or RAM can cause instability:
- Disable all overclocking settings.
- Launch Dynasty Warriors: Origins to check if the black screen issue is resolved.
- If disabling overclocking works, gradually reapply settings while monitoring for stability.
Verify Game Files on Steam
Verifying game files ensures that no corrupted or missing files are causing the issue:
- Open Steam and navigate to your Library.
- Right-click Dynasty Warriors: Origins and select Properties.
- Go to the Local Files tab and click Verify integrity of game files.
- Allow Steam to complete the process, which may take some time for larger games.
These fixes should help resolve the black screen crash issue. If the problem persists, consider reinstalling the game or seeking support from the official forums.
