Battlefield 2024 Black Screen & Freeze at Stand By Screen (Potential Fix!)

Hello battlefield 2042 player!

If you are struggling with the error that the game freezes at the "Stand by" loading screen, or the screen turns black when you exit to the lobby, then you are in the right place!

These are potential fixes, it may not work for everyone.

Black screen when you exit to the lobby :

  • The black screen error occurs when you want to exit the lobby because your dekstop resolution and the game resolution is the same. For example : your dekstop resolution is 1600x1024
  • And your game resolution also 1600x1024, then the black screen will appear. To eliminate this error, take your game resolution down for example : to 1600x900, and then test the game. If the error is still persist, please write down in the post.
