Game crashes to windowed black screen FIX!
Hi All,
I've noticed several times now that when starting up the game it crashes to a windowed black screen and hearing only audio sequences.
Turns out that I've running the MSI Afterburner app in the background which is causing this.
By simply closing the Afterburner app or any other monitoring app (from the system tray) before running the game the game will start up properly.
An alternate way is if you wan't to make use of the Afterburner app or any overlay app, turn off the overlay function in the Uplay app.
My thoughts are that Uplay might not support third-party overlay functions in case Uplay's own overlay function is activated.
In the past I've noticed that when the Uplay overlay is active while a third party overlay also is active, a game does not have to crash per se but one of the overlay function might not work properly.
In case of The Division 2, overlays will conflict and the game crashes to a black windowed screen.
May be a possible bug within the game or just something to be fixed by UPlay app dev.
Hope this helps when experiencing this behavior.
