While we already reported on a fix for the Helldivers 2 black screen issue, we have another one which we can also confirm works! Read on for the Helldivers 2 black screen on start up fix and workaround step-by-step instructions.
Note that this fix also has a step-by-step guide on creating a game and inviting randoms too.
Helldivers 2 Black Screen on Start Up Fix for PC:
Reminder: Skip the “servers are full” screen
- Go to Steam discussions
- Find somebody in-game
- Go to their profile
- Click “Join Game”
- Alt tab for a few minutes while it sits on the black screen
Fix for Creating a Game and Inviting Anonymous People
- Get to your ship
- Set to public
- Go to your own Steam profile
- Right click where it says join game
- Copy link address
- Post in threads
- Anons who join you skip the “servers are full” screen. They just have to sit in the black screen for a few minutes
We can confirm the fix listed here works. Hopefully, Arrowhead releases a title update that full resolves this issue without the need for a workaround.
While Helldivers 2’s server situation might still be in an issue, the good thing here is, the devs are checking and fixing it non-stop. There’s also free DLC on the way to ease the pain a bit. Also of note, go play the game right now, as the bonus XP and requisitions buffs are still active.
