One of the most frustrating errors that players can come across when attempting to connect to NBA 2K22 is the dreaded black screen. Why is it coming up and what can you do to resolve it? We’ll look at a few options in this article.
How to Fix NBA 2K22 Black Screen
Check if the Minimum Requirements are Fulfilled
First, ensure that your PC supports the minimum requirements to play NBA 2K22. The system requirements are:
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8.1 64-bit or Windows 10 64-bit
- Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.10 GHz/ AMD FX-4100 @ 3.60 GHz or better
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 450 1GB/ ATI Radeon HD 7770 1 GB or better
- DirectX: Version 11
- Network: Broadband Internet connection
- Storage: 110 GB available space
- Sound Card: Directx 9.0x
If your system can run this game, move to the second potential fix for this problem.
Lower your Graphics Settings
See if lowering your graphics will allow the game to run smoothly without any black screen coming up midway.
Try Windowed Mode and Change to Fullscreen
Doing this works out well sometimes so try it and see if it resolves the issue. What you need to do is press Alt + Enter on your keyboard to make the game go to windowed mode and then press the same keys to go to fullscreen mode. If the graphics have glitched, this should ideally solve it.
Alt + Tab
Press the Alt + Tab keys on your keyboard when the game is running and then tab out of the game. Next, tab back in using the same keys and check if the black screen goes away.
Update your Graphics Card Drivers
Ensure that your graphics cards are updated to the latest version. Head to the manufacturer’s official website to get the newest version so that you don’t get any black screen or crashing issues.
That’s all for this one. If you end up getting NBA 2K22 error codes such as 079d6cdc, 6f8ce31b or 4b538e50, we’ve got you covered.
