Yes, It's The Black Screen Bug Again

[vacation cat]

Hey everyone, I played K2 with no problems for about 45 minutes yesterday and then had to unexpectedly kill the process for reasons not related to its performance and since then I have not been able to get this game to act right. Whenever I boot the game, I get audio and a responsive cursor, but a black screen.

I have tried:

- Reinstallation/validating game files (it functioned in windowed mode before I uninstalled and reinstalled the game - doing this appears to have made it so even that doesn't work)

- Windowed Mode (see above)

- Borderless Mode (immediate crash when I could access it)

- Alt+enter/alt+tab (this is apparently supposed to trick it into displaying correctly but in my case makes it crash, every single time)

- Checked my GPU drivers (they are up to date and there doesn't appear to be a specific driver for Kiwami 2 from my card's manufacturer)

- Booting in and out of Big Picture mode

- Optimizing settings with my GPU

Has anyone been able to fix this?

The fix for me was to turn off SSAO, put the game in windowed mode, and download a mod called Silent Patch https://cookieplmonster.github.io/mods/yakuza-kiwami-2/, then validate files.

Hi, I also had this problem. Maybe I'm too late. But for those who still have this problem, I have found a solution and I hope it works for you too:
1. Go to your Steam client.
2. Go to the Settings.
3. Click on Downloads
4. Clear the download cache.

After you have completed these steps and restarted the Steam client, you should be able to run the game again.

didn't work

Adding to the several fixes for this awful port: the directory of the game can't have dots on it's name. Yes. Not even a previous folder can have any dot in its name or the game just don't start. Simple as that.

press windows button and R type:%appdata% and find sega then yakuza(any version you have) then graphics.ini and change windows modes to 2 and if you have a controller plugged in plug it out launch the game then plug it in the problem some times can be because you have it on windowed mode or borderless mode and the controller for some reason

THIS!!!
