Black Screen issue Anniversary Edition.
When I try to load the game it always has a black screen now. On every save. Even old saves. I looked it up online elsewhere and it is a known issue that occurs after you install the Anniversary Edition of Skyrim. There is no official fix, or patch. The issue arises from the "upgraded" compiler.
Additionally, even those who don’t upgrade to Skyrim Anniversary Edition may be affected. This is because everyone is receiving an update that includes the Visual Studio 2019 compiler.
In comparison, previous Skyrim builds integrated Visual Studio 2015. So, the better efficiency of the new compiler causes the conflict.
So, does anyone know of a fix? Once again it's left up to the community to fix a broken Bethesda product.
The only fix I've heard of involves downgrading to the old compiler, but I have no idea how one would do that.

I hope so because Skyrim is completely unplayable currently, and I didn't need to pay $20 bucks for the privilege of bricking the game. lol

Curious, did you finish the civil war part of the game? Some people were saying that creates the black screen.

I have it and I've never done the Civil War quests at all.

Yes a patch "should" come out next week.

In the mean time:
