Black screen after alt tabbing

[FlynnMegamiTensei]

Why does this happen i even changed installation locations it's mildly annoying i have to restart a mission every time this happens.

Have you updated your graphics drivers?

[FlynnMegamiTensei]

Yes infact i just updated it and the issue persists

Try to install these then restart your PC:
- DirectX Redistributable (June 2010)[www.microsoft.com]
- Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 x86[aka.ms] and x64.[aka.ms]

Also even on Windowed mode crashes when Alt Tabbing?

Ok i'll try it thanks

No windowed mode works just fine

Probably stick to Windowed Mode with your max resolution then use Borderless Gaming from Github.

Yeah this works fine, a shame it cant be fixed natively but thank you

I think I got it working... Had the same problem and dxvk which allows you to use vulkan on lower versions of directx than 12 seems to work, well better than awesome.

Check it out here. https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

Another way that is listed on pcgamingwiki ( https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Devil_May_Cry_4#Issues_fixed ) is to copy the dxgi.dll and d3d10.dll from C:\Windows\Winsxs folder into your game folder.

If you decide to run the dxvk directx version, the folder to install them is also in your DMC4 installation folder (where the .exe is.)

This (DXVK) fix worked for me with the alt+tab issue 100%. Can run fullscreen and alt-tab np.

Happy gaming.
