How to Fix Black Screen Issue in Delta Force?

After launching Delta Force Hawk Ops, if the game shows a black screen, it means there’s a rendering issue. Black screen issues can stem from several reasons. While the most common cause is outdated or corrupted drivers, other potential issues could be at play. These include:

• Hardware Failures: Defective hardware components like the GPU or faulty RAM modules can lead to rendering problems.
• BIOS Settings: Incorrect BIOS configurations can interfere with the system’s ability to render graphics properly.
• Corrupted Game Files: Damaged or missing game files can prevent the game from launching correctly.
• Conflicts with Third-Party Software: Applications, especially overlay apps like Discord, Steam, or GeForce Experience, can conflict with the game’s rendering process.

It’s also important to ensure that your system’s hardware meets the game’s minimum requirements. If your specs are incompatible with the game, it could lead to these kinds of problems.

Let’s discuss how to fix this. Before starting with the solutions, ensure your system meets the minimum game requirements. Incompatible specs often cause such issues.

Also, if many apps are running in the background, close them. Too many background apps can use lots of RAM and interfere with the game.

1. Verify Game File Integrity

Black screen issues can be due to corrupted game files. Start by verifying the game files. This process restores the corrupted files and can fix various issues, including a black screen.

1. Open Steam and go to your Library.
2. Find Delta Force Hawk Ops, right-click it, and select Properties.
   
3. In the left pane, click Installed Files. Then, click Verify integrity of game files.
   
4. Once the verification process is done, launch Delta Force Hawk Ops to see if the black screen issue is resolved.

2. Change Display Settings (Resolution & Windowed Mode)

If black screen issues occur during gameplay, changing display settings like lowering resolution or switching to Windowed mode can help. Adjusting the resolution to match your monitor’s native settings and using Windowed mode can reinitialize the game’s graphics settings, potentially fixing the issue.

3. Disable In-Game Overlays

The overlay features provided by Discord, Steam, or GeForce Experience can interfere with the game’s rendering process, causing black screen issues. These overlays also use significant memory, leading to other problems. Disable the overlay features of Steam, Discord, or GeForce Experience to see if the issue is resolved.

Since the Steam overlay is most likely the culprit, below are steps to disable it. If you use Discord or GeForce Experience, disable their overlays as well.

1. Open Steam and go to your Library.
2. Find Delta Force Hawk Ops, right-click it, and select Properties.
   
3. In the properties menu, toggle off the option Enable the Steam overlay while in-game.
   
4. After disabling the overlay, launch Delta Force Hawk Ops to see if the issue is resolved.

4. Update Graphics Drivers

Outdated GPU drivers can cause compatibility issues preventing the game from rendering correctly. By updating the GPU driver, your game can utilize the latest optimizations and settings, which should resolve the issue.

1. Press the Win key and type Device Manager.
2. Press Enter to open the Device Manager window.
3. In Device Manager, locate and expand Display Adapters. Right-click your GPU driver and choose Update driver.
   
4. In the next window, select Search automatically for drivers.
   
5. If no drivers are found, open the GeForce Experience app. Go to the Drivers tab at the top, then click Check for updates.
   
6. If a new driver is found, download and install it.
7. After installation, launch Delta Force Hawk Ops to check if the issue is resolved.

Finally, if none of the solutions work, consider reinstalling Delta Force Hawk Ops to ensure there are no corrupted files causing the issue.
