Reinstall your GPU Drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)

If your computer can run the game and meets all the requirements you probably just need to clean install your graphics drivers. This usually solves the majority of graphics issues.

Download Display Driver Uninstaller from the official website.
Download the graphics driver version you want to use (The newest is usually best)
Once you have the driver files on your computer disable your Internet connection.
Now Run DDU and remove everything including Geforce Experience or the AMD software
After the process completes install your graphics drivers using the files you downloaded earlier.
Once your new drivers are installed you can re-enable your internet connection.

The reason we do things this way is to prevent Windows from installing Generic Drivers as soon as it detects an issue.

Stop Using Farming Simulator 25 Mods

If you're someone who likes to mod the hell out of games it's probably not a good idea to start using mods so early in the games release cycle. While mods are awesome they can cause a lot of problems this early on in a games release.

Disable Overclocking Settings. Then Readjust them

If you have quite a big custom overclock running on your computer it's time to re-evaluate it for stability sake.

Disable any overclocking settings for your GPU, CPU, or RAM.
Launch Farming Simulator 25 to see if the black screen issue is resolved.
If disabling overclocking fixes the problem, reapply your overclock settings gradually, starting with the GPU, then CPU, and finally RAM, while monitoring for stability.

Optimize In-Game Graphics Settings and use AI tools

Adjusting your in-game graphics settings can improve stability:

Start the game with the lowest graphics settings while keeping your preferred resolution.
Increase the graphics settings gradually, launching the game after each adjustment to find the best balance between visual quality and performance.
It's worth trying DLSS 3 DLAA & Reflex options as well. They might work they might not but they are worth experimenting with if your hardware supports them.

Verify Farming Simulator 25 Game Files

If you've been fooling around with mods or any other game files you will have to re-verify the game files. This only takes a few minutes and should fix the problem.

Launch the Steam client.
Go to the Library tab.
Find Farming Simulator 25, 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.
