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.
- 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)
- Download both the x86 and the x64 versions.
- Open the files and select 'install' or 'repair', depending on which option you receive after launching the installation.
- Once the process is finished, reset your computer.
- The game should run correctly after this.
