Update the Game
Every new update is packed with new features and bug fixes, so the first thing that you need to do is check if your game is updated to the latest patch. Here is how you can update Battlefield to resolve the black screen issue:
Update Your Graphics Driver
It is common for outdated drivers to cause issues like the one at hand. Just like the game updates, graphics driver updates are packed with bug fixes too. This means that if your outdated driver is causing the issue, installing the latest updates should fix the issue in no time. All that you need to do is head over to your manufacturer’s official website and download the latest graphics driver version available. Once installed, try launching Battlefield again.
Repair Game Files

Origin
Epic Games Store
Steam
Clear Cache

Steam Cache
EA cache
Disable Overclocking Software
Several users reported that they were able to resolve the black screen issue after disabling GPU overclocking tools. Overclocking your graphics card is generally a safe process, but sometimes the overclocking software can put too much pressure on your hardware. We recommend disabling your overclocking software and checking if you can launch your game without any issues. Another thing you can do is disable background applications using the Task Manager since there is a chance that a background application is interfering with Battlefield’s processes, causing the issue at hand.
Reset the Game
Another solution that you can try is resetting the game. Resetting the game will revert it to its original, error-free state without your losing your online progression, thus resolving the black screen issue in the process.
Modify Screen’s Resolution
There is also a possibility that you are facing the black screen issue with Battlefield 2024 because of a low screen resolution. Certain games require a high resolution to work, and thus changing the screen resolution might do the trick for you. Here is how you can do that:
Install Battlefield 2042 through the EA app
In case none of the methods mentioned above worked for you and you are using EA’s Origin client, uninstall Battlefield from Origin as the last resort. Then re-install it using the EA app. Although the cause is unknown, several users managed to fix the black screen issue by doing so, which is why we recommend giving it a shot!
