Steam version. Windows and video drivers up to date. I launch the game and I just get a black screen. Apparently this is an extremely common problem, and every solution I'm seeing involves downloading cracks from really shady links.

I actually just played it with no issues.

Though we need more info, what are your specs/windowsversion
are you running DX11 or 12?

At what point does it turn black

Windows 10 Build 19042
Intel Core i5 10600KF 4.1GHz 12 core
8192 MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
NVIDIA Driver 442.19
DirectX 12

The game opens in a window, window is black, it is immediately unresponsive, and Windows closes it and sends Microsoft an error report.

Yeah everything is up to date (I actually just installed Visual C++, dotNet Framework and DirectX to play FFIX a few weeks ago). I don't have an ASUS mobo, I don't even know what Hyper-V is, but Windows says it's off.

Okay so what have you tried and failed? You said this is a common issue but I have been scouring the steam forums and I cant find anyone else with your specific problem and its not listed on the pcgamingwiki either >https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Resident_Evil_2_(2019)

Also probably worth trying what Delta posted.

Also sometimes the problem is simpler than what we assume (have you tried "verify integrity of game files")

Yeah I went through Steam and verified the game cache. I even deleted a few .pak files and had them reinstalled because I found something that said that might help. I've gone into the config files and messed around with DX settings. And yeah I looked through that link. Only thing I could find was "disable Hyper-V in Windows" which, again, I don't know what that is, but it was off by default. I've plugged in, and unplugged a controller, because, again some people said that helped. I did check to make sure drivers and windows didn't have any updates available. I tried the "hold alt and press enter" thing. Game doesn't respond. I heard something about disabling something in the BIOS but I aint fucking around with that to play a video game.

I mean it's my problem, I should. But I also don't really know how to use Steam's community features lol. Whenever I have a problem I just google it, and usually that works for me.

Hyper-V shouldn't be the problem. That's running virtual machines and I do that. Doing something in the BIOS is basic stuff, just ask if you think it seems weird.

Thats usually a great solution, but when nothing else works I just post a topic and usually can find a solution.

Heres your topic:

I wonder if my video driver isnt actually up to date. Apparently latest driver is 466.something. But I installed the latest driver through GeForce experience about a month ago. So idk. But my PC is off now so Ill worry about that tomorrow. But something tells me thats not the issue.

Yep! I just got the third medallion to complete the statue puzzle. This game is really neat, the world is structured like the classic RE2, but it plays like RE4/Revelations. I like how if you don't board up the windows the zombies will just keep coming in and moving around the station lol

It's all a little scarier and stressful for me because I've never played the original XD. I go so damn slow.

Yeah after I play this I'm going to finally play 7. I didn't pick up 3 Remake in the sale, but I also kinda don't really care about 3? I'll get it eventually.

Its okay while three is no means "bad", it was however outsourced to a non-Japanese studio which couldnt make the game fast enough so its got a couple levels and enemies and game modes cut that were in the original and are not in the remake. Its supposedly really short. This made me worried for the RE4 remake because thats favorite one in the series. However thankfully its not that same studio but I did read an article saying the devolopment team changed directions and leadership.

I got 3 for NZ$8 on PS4. Didn't play much at the time though, I have one of the models that eject discs during warmer weather (over sensitive eject expands in heat, causing ejects), and can't be bothered popping it open to fix that.
