Black Screen on Launch – Warhammer: Vermintide 2 / Darktide – Any Fix?"

Hi everyone,

Iam experiencing a black screen issue when launching Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (or Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The game starts, but instead of the main menu, all I see is a black screen. The audio plays in the background, and sometimes I can hear menu interactions, but nothing is visible.

Here is what I have tried so far:
Verified game files** through Steam.
Updated my GPU drivers(NVIDIA/AMD).
Tried launching in windowed mode and lower resolution.
Disabled overlays (Steam, Discord, GeForce Experience, etc.)
Reinstalled the game, but the issue persists.

Could this be related to a graphics setting, a corrupted file, or an engine compatibility issue? Has anyone else faced this, and what solutions worked for you?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Instead of updating your drivers, try a clean re-installation instead! This issue is usually driver related.
