Helldivers 2 players are facing a black screen after missions. Needless to say, this is a frustrating bug to encounter on both PC and PS5. Thankfully, there are some workarounds to help solve the issue. Here’s the Helldivers 2 black screen fix.
How to fix the Helldivers 2 black screen after mission bug
During Missions in Helldivers 2, players who encounter a black screen after completion should wait five minutes and press the circle button on their PS5.
The game should let them back in when the servers are not full. Thanks to the addition of AFK timer kicks in the game, players are now facing little to no server issues until it is peak times. However, check your in-game currency and inventory lists for missing mission rewards after a black screen error.
This seems to be persistent with some players who can sometimes go for multiple Blitz missions without receiving a single mission reward. Fixing this has no real methods but a few restarts may lead to reappearing mission rewards.
PC players can also try to edit their config file by following these simple steps:
- Navigate to C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Roaming\Arrowhead\Helldivers2
- Enable the view hidden files option
- Open the user-settings.config file using a text editor
- Change the fullscreen field to false
This can potentially solve the black screen after a mission error in an instant if players have hardware-related issues. However, players are recommended to wait until peak times are over to get retry. Frequent backscreen issues have no fixes except waiting it out.
