Reported symptom: described a two‑second black screen then an immediate return to the desktop with Windows offering to send an error report. That pattern usually means the game process crashed during initialization. Common culprits are graphics/DirectX runtimes or drivers, interference from antivirus/overlay software, a corrupt user config or install, or an OS/architecture compatibility issue.

Quick diagnostic checklist:

  1. Run the game's executable directly from its install folder (not a shortcut). Running it from a command prompt can expose text output.
  2. Check the Windows Error Reporting dialog and then Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application for an Error at the crash time. Note the "Faulting application", "Faulting module" and any exception code.
  3. Update or reinstall GPU drivers from the vendor and make sure required DirectX/Visual C++ redistributables are installed (look for any "redist" folder in the installer).
  4. Temporarily disable real‑time antivirus/anti‑cheat or add the game's folder to the scanner whitelist—these have blocked games before.
  5. Disable overlays/recording apps (Steam/Discord/GeForce Experience/FRAPS, etc.), which can cause early crashes.
  6. Try compatibility options: run as administrator, set compatibility mode to an older Windows version when applicable, and on modern Windows disable "fullscreen optimizations" in the Compatibility tab.
  7. Force windowed mode or a lower resolution via the game's config or command line to avoid a mode-switch that triggers a black screen.
  8. If needed, run the installer's Repair or uninstall/reinstall after removing local config files in Documents or AppData.

When Event Viewer reports a specific faulting module (for example a DirectX DLL such as dxgi.dll or d3d9.dll) or an exception like 0xc0000005 (access violation), that strongly points to driver/runtime or memory-access problems and narrows the fix to drivers, redistributables, or a targeted patch. As requested, the exact WER text is the single most useful diagnostic. Note that 's antivirus tip and 's "run the EXE from the install folder" advice are both practical steps to try early. Disable security software only briefly and with care.

Welcome to the site :)

Have you tried running the game in COMPATIBILITY MODE?? (Try Win98se and see if it works then)

Good luck!

hi,

Could you tell us what the message is in the "send error report to Microsoft" dialog?

I would like to give one advice that is you should know about your PC because we could't know where we are getting problem. Now should inform your PC seller who sells this PC to you and you can ask why this PC is getting problem.

if youre game was working fine before then it can be a software that youve installed recently thats preventing you from playing the game or thats on your system a long time. in my case it happened that immediately after installing Eset NOD32. not axactly sure but it worked for me

Sometimes running the game manually helps, rather than using a shortcut. A couple of my games i've had to open this way. (Computer, Harddrive, Program Files, etc..)

Member Avatar for pauria

is just assuming you use the latest Windows.
