screen and even the black screen issue which is happening for many of the users right now and how we can fix this up so let's dive into the work around the first one is all about when you're having this trouble you can try with a restart or you can start with a restart for this we just need to go over here in the start icon now from here go to the power icon over here and go for a restart once the restart is successfully done just try launch the game and you have to see whether the issue is solved or not sometimes a simple restart can fix a lot of issue so you can start with a simple restart once you're done with this one and if you're still having a lot of trouble we can move to the next one that is all about we have to launch the game from the installation folder sometimes we might be launching the game from the Steam and that is why we are having lot of these kind of issues so we need to launch the game from the installation folder for this we just need to navigate to the installation folder and we have two method one we have a shortcut frame here and one we have a file explorer way so the first one WWE 2K4 so right click over here and go to the properties now go for the installed file and just click on the browse so that will take you to the installation folder and if you check over here at the top there this PC local C program for x86 steam steam apps common the WWE 2K4 is actually the installation folder and apart from this you can also navigate to the installation folder using the file explorer for this we just need to go over here in the file explorer navigate to this PC go to local d c go to program file x86 go for steam navigate to steam apps go to Common now from here we have to go to WWE 2K4 so just go over here in this particular folder just try launch the game from here and that is what we have to do some sometimes launch the game from the installation folder not from the steam we is also FX so you can try this out after trying with the Second Step if you're still having the trouble you can try two more steps from the installation folder that is running the game as administrator and also you can run the game in the compatibility mode for running the game as administrator we just need to go over here right click and go to the show more options go to the properties go for compatibility and we have to click on run this program in the compatibility mode set this to Windows 7 over here now go over here in the Windows 7 and go for apply we can also go for Windows 8 and go for apply as well so this is the running the game in the compatibility mode it's one step also you can run the game as administrator and go for apply and go for okay and try launch the game if that is not the case we can move to the next step that is all about we have to move to the next one that is all about we have to launch the game and you have to press alt and from the keyboard so I don't know how this is related but even though many users stated this even helped them so just click on or hit on the play button at the moment you're hitting on the play button just press alt and frame the keyboard and that will be okay fine next one is all about nothing but what we need to do is we just need to make sure that you have to uh make sure the date time and region is correct for this reason we have to go over here in the search we have to navigate to the settings now go over here in the Windows update now from here just update your windows sorry not this one just go over in the time and language go to the date and time make sure the time's onone automatically time automatically and all these three things should be turned it on we have to turn all these three things on and we just need to go back go to the language and region make sure we have to set the language to United not from the United States if you have the country is from India you have to select India if you're from United States select United States you have to set the country according to geography once afterwards is go back and try launch the game still if you're having the trouble the next one one is all about what we need to do is we just need to delete the saved game file even this worked for many users in my past knowledge for not only for this game but even for many games including what you have to say Spider-Man Morales even for many games you can try this out just go over here in the file explored now from here navigate to this PC go to the documents and over here as you can see there are a lot of folders over here in the same way you'll be having a folder for WWE 2K4 just delete this folder and keep in mind when you delete this you'll be losing all the prop of the game but that is fine once afterwards just start this game from the scratch and even it help with many uses you can try this out six step is all about we have to allow the game to window security so this is actually a very working step so in order to do this just go over here go to the search go for control panel just go for the control panel click on this one now from here go to system and security go for Windows Defender Firewall go for Alo app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall now from here keep scrolling down and navig to WWE 2K4 so hence it is an alphabet keep scrolling down somewhere else here you'll be able to find it so wwe2k 24 and from here you have to select private and public both has to be marked so if anything is unmarked you have to mark it up and once you mark this up it just closes everything and we have to go back and try launch the game next one is all about what we need to do is we just need to unplug all the USB devices so we we might be connected with lot of things for example we might be connected with external computers we might be connected with external uh monitor not I mean the Sense keyboard joysticks multiple might be connected which even cause the issue up so just unplug everything once everything is unplugged afterwards just launch the game once you're getting the game you can connect it back and try playing the game and even this even work it for many users you can try this out next one we have to perform a clean board so just go over here in the search search for system configuration search for system configuration like this go over here now click on on the services go for hide all Microsoft services not this one go for disable all go for hide all Microsoft Services go for apply and go for okay then just go over here go for exit without the the users for watching this go for restart but I'm going to go for exit without restart after the restart is done just go over here and try launch the game next one is all about we have to disable the steam overlay and that is what we have to do so disabling the steam overlay just go over here in the game right click and go to the properties make sure if it is turn it on we have to turn this off that is what we have to do try launch the game if that is not the case we just need to go over here and also you can try giving the commands in the launch option that is dx11 and dx12 can be given so the first one is dx11 not Capital you can try with dx11 you can try with dx11 so dx11 can be done and if that is not working we can try with dx12 and that will be working fine as well so the DX X1 and D X12 will be working fine and that will be working and once afterwards try launches the game and that will be working fine next one is all about nothing but what we need to do is we just need to close all the overlay application which is running in the background so just go over here in the game start right click and we have to navigate to the task manager now from here as you can see there are a lot of things running in the background and all these things are actually one of the main reason why many of the users is having crashing issue because right now as you can see there are 43 43 apps running in the background and all these things are simultaneously running in the background and if I'm trying to launch the game at the same moment many things running in the background which just goes in the crashing Issue app so just remove The Unwanted things for example RAR tuner MSA After Burner Etc can be removed from here once everything is removed just close this and we have to go back and try launch the game next one is all about nothing but what we need to do is we just need to do is we just need to uh what I have to say we just need to run the game on dedicated graphic Graphics car so just go over here now just go over here and we have to navigate to uh you know what I have to say is Graphics settings now from here we just need to keep scrolling down and we have to add the game so as you can see I have already added many games in the same way we have to add the game just click on the browse just go over here and we have to navigate local C go to the program for x86 go over here in the Steam and we have to navigate to the steam apps go to common and from here we have to navigate to the game WWE 2K 24 and we have to select this one and we have to add it and once it has been added just click on the option set this to high performance and we have to go over here and save this up and once it has been saved just close this and we have to go back and try launching the game after trying with this if the issue is still there we can try increasing the virtual memory just go over here in the search go for view Advanced system setting go to the Advan it tab go for settings once again Advance it once again and go for change make sure this is blank and you have to select select the lock list where the game is installed go for the custom size set the value for initial size and maximum size initial size is 1.5 times the dotal RAM and the maximum size three times the dotal ram so just go over here now we need to type your RAM that is 32 GB is my Ram I have to type it multiply it with a constant value 1024 and we have to multiply it with 1.5 so just go over here that brings you 14 and 152 and we have to copy this and we have to paste it next one 32 GB multiplied with 1024 and we have to multiply it with three that brings you 98304 and we have to copy this and we have to paste it and once afterwards just close everything and we have to go back and try launch the game still if you're having the trouble after increasing the virual memory it is quite important to update the graphics card so I'll be providing a link in the description to both Nvidia as well as I'll be providing a link in the description for the M MD users the Nvidia users has to go over here select everything like you have to select the product type should be selected product series should be selected and product should be selected Windows should be selected according to your PC's configuration and you have to go for start search and when you go for start search what happens is you'll be getting the latest released versions of graphics card which is around 55.76 MB and which is around 5th March 2024 so just download this one install restart as a mandatory and try launch the game and if you're on the MD just go over here and select everything like over here and once it's been set just go over here in the subet and if you're on the Windows 11 download this one and if you're on the Windows 10 download this one install restart as a mandatory and try launch the game after trying with us if the issue is still there you can try go for the Microsoft Visual installation of Microsoft Visual C++ so I'll be providing a link in the description that will take you to this from here you can go to the x64 over here you can download x64 if the system is based on x64 if the system is based on x86 you can download this one as well and once you can also try installing it on your PC as well even after trying with this if the issue is still there you can try updating uh I mean uh updating the windows so just go over in the Windows update and make sure it is up to date which is very important and if it's not update you'll be having these kind of trouble also I would like to make you notice you can also try andinstall and reinstall the game if you're still having the trouble which is quite important so when you're reinstalling back you have to make sure that you should not be installing back on the same local dis from which you uninstall you have to try a new local dis and also after trying with this if they isue still there we can try verify Integrity of game file which is be cross checking every single files of a game and if any files are crafted and if any files are missing and all these kind of issues will be fixed by this so just go over here in the game right click go to the game go to the properties go over here in the installed file and just click on the verify Integrity of game file so the game will be crosschecking and we are having the game around 86 GB so it will be crosschecking every single files and if any files are craped and if any files are missing and all these kind of issues will be fixed by this so just wait this to reach 100 percentage and I'll be showing you what you have to do [Music] [Music] next [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so right now as you can see all the files are
