I get a black screen after launching Gloomhaven

If you get a black screen when launching the game Gloomhaven, this could be caused by missing or corrupted Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. These files are necessary for certain games to run on your computer. Follow the steps below to fix this issue.

  1. Go to Microsoft's website to find the latest Visual C++ Redistributable download: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170&viewFallbackFrom=msvc-17 (Opens in a new tab)
  2. Download both the x86 and the x64 versions. 
  3. Open the files and select 'install' or 'repair', depending on which option you receive after launching the installation.
  4. Once the process is finished, reset your computer. 
  5. The game should run correctly after this.
