Hello there, I had solved the problem and I played Shadow of Tomb Raider. Later though there has been "BLACK SCREEN" error. The whole screen is an endless black like hollow space. What can I do for it?

[Nommy]

The registry fix made my game go black and no inputs work. Task manager can't be started and I have to restart the PC. Importing my backup didn't remove the file we created so I removed it manually hopefully it my game goes down to crashing once per startup cycle.

Edit: Yep, this reg edit removed the error showing up for me but it gave me crashes I had to restart my PC instead. The search continues...

Hey sir, When I do this, I get a warning that I need to update my graphics card in other games, what should I do?

[soullesssenpai]

Hey there I have a question, when I opened my register editor I found an extra data in the graphics driver list called and the value was set to one, should I delete it or change the value? I really hope you respond to this msg

[Adir_O]

hey, got a question
you advise to open a new file DWORD (32-bit), if i use 64 bit windows should i still go with the 32 bit or use 64 bit instead?
does the rest of the instructions remains the same in case of 64 bit system?

it went well for the first day, but after it started freezing and i have to restart my computer, is there any way to fix that?

[PeanutButAlsoButter]

I've been struggling with this in every game I have its been very frustrating and I've spent well over 10 hours searching and trying things finally I gave up and tried to do a full factory reset and its still giving me the same error code I followed the steps in this video and its been exactly the same I cant get into the firing range of apex and I cant play Call of Duty if someone literally anyone has any idea what I can do to fix this please let me know thanks in advance

[youraveragejohnn]

I keep getting this in ranked and it pisses me off

[peteryelfstephens]

not helpful I think you've made my situation worse, no longer receiving an error code game just crashed. wish I checked the comments before hand

[henrik]

did this. landed picked up a gun shot once and entire pc froze

[bokester]

I tried this and my game went from crashing and giving me this error to freezing my computer immediately and forcing me to manual shut it down. My Apex is actually unplayable RIP.

[sylphisongaku]

thx bro, now my PC is freezing and cant do anything except pressing the force restart button + this happen everytime I open apex : )

[predetz]

I did this and my pc has started to consistently crash, I'm not sure if this is the reason or not but I tried to reset it with the backup file but it says ''Cannot import F:\Backup RegEd: Error accessing the registry'' How do I fix this?

[jimmychan]

Hey that worked for satisfactorily too. Thanks so much!!!

[panlaymc]

My computer freezes everytime i start it now, what should i do????

[ethimself]

I never do a backup in Registry Editor, someday this may catch up with me

[jirkavobr]

It broke the game even more. Instead of like 10 min to get the error it jumped on in first 10 seconds... And now it also broke my PC thx :D

[Charcutero]

Now i dont have the error but my game freezs at the point that all my pc gets blocked and i can only reset my pc, i cant even exit the game, all my pc freezs, how can i fix this?

[narutot]

I did the second part and it says it successfully updated my drivers,
Which I thought I had done hope this works😭

[ewwwick]

This game was working fine for a week and this error pops up. After doing the registry part now it freezes. Manually updated graphics drivers and still freezes. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Backed up the registry file and tried to import the file and i get an error stating it wasn’t written correctly. 😳
