Optimize In-Game Graphics Settings
Adjusting the game's graphics settings can improve stability:

- Gradually increase settings while testing for stability after each adjustment.
- Enable DLSS 3, DLAA, and Reflex (if supported by your hardware) to enhance performance.

- 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.
