Game does not launch (HELP)

[miguel757]

When I try to launch the game it says "preparing to launch NBA2K2O" for a sec and then nothing happens. I tried to restart my computer and Re-Install the game but it still does not work. There is no process happening in the taskbar either. I restored my computer 2 days ago so I don´t think thats the problem.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the great help, @z.k! However, I truly think this is something related to the game itself. In fact, I didn't have any issues playing NBA 2K20 for weeks, until in October the game got updated and I started to have the black screen issue.

In any case, I still do agree with you that most of the times these are driver-related or registry-related problems. For your own reference, I have the latest BIOS, the latest audio, chipset, gigabit ethernet, and GPU drivers, and the latest Windows version. I have tried to verify the game files, re-install the game, and other tweaks that people comment on-line (e.g., running on windowed mode), but none of them seemed to work for me, sorry!

Don't worry about it, I can still play by restarting the PC, no big deal ;). Thanks again!

If you tried everything by now, and it doesn’t work properly than this is what I would do ( I am not suggesting it )

I would download it from skidrow for example, with out the additional files so only the game.

As this is a clean install than for sure, while installing it I d go offline after installing I would verify the game through steam ...

This fixed it for me:

in case ur reinstalling the game again, make sure that after u uninstall it, that you cleanplppup ur registry 1st, and then install it again. beside that it may happen that another running process lead to that issue, so before you start the game make sure you turn off every app which is running in the background

What all did you try? Have you checked your firewall, or AV?

[JayDee 334]

nope I didn't check my firewall I looked and did alot of stuff on youtube

If you haven't already, tell windows defender to allow the game. What version of Windows do you use?

[JayDee 334]

windows 10

[Rubber]

Try this: Search, in the Windows Start menu, for" Windows Defender settings". Go there, then into "Firewall and Network protection". At the bottom center is "Allow an app through firewall". Look for NBA 2K20. It's not rare for games to not be allowed, for whatever reason.
