Helldivers 2 has been a huge hit on all devices it’s available on. In fact, the servers are having a hard time keeping up with the daily growth in players. That may seem impossible, but the multiplayer shooter has already surpassed Destiny’s all-time high number of players at the same time on PC. This level of success has also been seen on PlayStation, where the sequel has done better than games like Call of Duty and Fortnite.
There are often server-side link problems when hundreds of thousands of players try to log in at the same time. The black screen of death is one thing that most players have been seeing since Helldivers 2 came out after a patch to fix crashes. You can try a few different solutions, which is good news.
How To Fix Helldivers 2 Black Screen Error?
When you start up the game, the black screen is a bug that locks you out. Some people think this is because Helldivers 2 won’t start in fullscreen mode.
When the black screen appears, your game will freeze and stop responding to sound. You will have to press Alt+F4 on your computer to forcefully quit the game. This is what you can do if you’re having this problem:
- Hold on!
It’s likely that the black screen will go away in a few minutes. All you have to do is wait and not switch between the game and your screen. The time you have to wait is random; some players see the main screen as soon as 2–3 minutes.
- Change The Config File
This will fix the black screen on starting better than anything else. Just don’t let Helldivers 2 start in fullscreen. You can’t change the display settings in-game, so you have to change the setup file on your PC manually.
“C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Roaming\Arrowhead\Helldivers2” is where you can find the “user-settings.config” file on your device. To see everything that is hidden, make sure that the Windows view settings are turned on. Change the fullscreen field from true to false in the settings file. You can do this in Notepad or any other text editor.

Getting rid of the configuration file is another way to fix the black screen. That’s how Helldivers 2 will start, so you’ll need to change your PC’s image settings all over again.
- Check The Files For Your Steam Games
It’s not a bad idea to check your game to fix any broken or missing files. This is also one of the last things players can try if they are having trouble launching games. Right-click on Helldivers 2 in your Steam Library to get to the “Properties” menu. Check the security of your game files by going to the “Installed Files” tab.
