Black screen!

[Liquidator]

Every time i start it right after the social club thing goes away it is just a black screen

[Zidaken]

Did you ever get an answer for this problem?

[InfiniteToast]

I too have this problem. I will update if I find a fix, however I can run the game (badly) when disabled my GPU and running on integrated graphics

[InfiniteToast]

CPU: intel i7 4700HQ
GPU: GTX 870M
12GB RAM

On windows 8.1, and most up to date nVidia driver

[InfiniteToast]

I have driver 353.06, which I have checked is most up to date on both the GeForce application and nVidia website. I will do a clean reinstall now, and have no streaming software installed (or anything else running)

[InfiniteToast]

aaaaand nope

I have also stopped all nvidia streaming software running, thanks for the heads up on that, but still get a black screen

[InfiniteToast]

Hey, I have now tried doing the opposite of what I was doing before and disabled my Intel Integrated graphics whilst loading the game, and it came up with an error message stating that I do not have enough video memory to run the game (also disabled overclock and mde sure none of the programs you listed above were running) which confirms my suspicions about an incmpatability with the game and my GPU, as my GPU has 3GB VRAM, and Rockstar states that a minimum of 1GB is needed. Is there anyway you know to resolve this or is this something only Rockstar could fix?
