black screen when starting the game

[elgato]

no logos, no audio, nothing, just a black screen

Give it a while to load. Mine did that and it did take a while. But once it's done, it loads up like normal. Didn't have that issue since.

Pulled out hdmi cable from vid card, put hdmi back in while running the game fixed the blackscreen.

It takes like 2 minutes to load the game and 3 minutes to load the map.

I've only had issues when first loading game. Well... now I'm having all kinds of performance issues, but before that, the only issue was the black screen. After 10 minutes (or maybe a bit less), it booted up fine.

You can try the -dx11 launch option. This fixed the black screen on startup for me.

Same issue, going to add that -dx11 to the properties area

The remedy for me was running the steam scan on the game , implementing "-dx11" did nothing when I tried that first. Options>Properties>Installed Files>"Verify Integrity of game files" Found that only one file was missing, issue has not re-surfaced since then. However there now is that issue that a lot of players are facing with the "Play" button being grayed out after a match, likely is something on the client side of the server verifying with EZ anti-cheat installed on our systems.
