In this article, we will be talking about this issue in detail and see what should be done to get the game back on track.
Why does Look Hero keep crashing or getting stuck at the Black Screen?
Loop Hero is not a demanding CPU game, in fact, it is one of the games that people recommend for people with inferior processors. However, the game still needs to render Graphics, so, if we would still recommend you check the system requirements before playing.
However, the major cause of this issue is corruption. Your game files either went missing or got corrupted. This especially happens during the time of installation. Now, when your computer is trying to load that file, because it is not there, the game stops responding and it crashes.
As for the black screen issue, more often than not, it is nothing more than a glitch. This glitch should get resolved by just switching to another game and then opening yours. If that is not the case, then the onus is on the GPU and the drivers. Also, we can not forget about your antivirus or Windows Security, as they can forbid the game from launching. Whatever the case is, we got solutions, so, just go to the troubleshooting guide and get on with it.

Just hit Alt + Tab and switch to another tab, then switch back to your game, hopefully, it will do the trick for you. If didn’t work, restart your computer and reopen the game, and check if your issue persists.
3] Install DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributable
A game needs an environment to run. So, maybe the issue is caused because Loop Hero is not getting the environment it needs. To provide that environment, we need to update or install DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributable. After doing that, restart your computer and check if the issue persists.
4] Verify Game Files
Corrupted or missing game files can stop the game from getting launched. That’s because of the fact that every time you open your game, it loads all the runtime files, and if one of those files got missing or gets corrupted, Loop Hero won’t start. You need to follow the steps mentioned below to scan and repair those files.
- Open Steam.
- Go to LIBRARY.
- Right-click your game and select Properties.
- Click on LOCAL FILES > VERIFY THE INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES.
Let the process complete and hopefully, the game won’t crash again.
5] Allow Loop Hero through Firewall
You need to make sure that your game files are not getting blocked by the antivirus or firewall. If you have a third-party antivirus just add Loop Hero to the whitelist. For Windows Firewall, you need to allow the game through it.
Hopefully, this will do the job for you.
