Howdy folks, some things to try. The first one helped me with the black screen and file issues.

1) (This fixed the issue for me), exit the game, temporarily disable your Anti Virus (this includes windows defender) and launch the game again to see if it runs fine. If it does, you can make an exception for the game folder so the AV leaves it alone as a permanent fix.

2) Ensure anything that might be creating a Overlay on the game is disabled. This includes the Steam, Discord, or Overwolf overlays if you use those.

3) Ensure the game is installed on your SSD if you have one.

4) Ensure everything is updated. Windows Updated. CPU drivers? Updated. GPU drivers? Updated.

If those do not work, there is a guide being maintained with more common fixes here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3325253230
