What are your PC specs to include OS? Are you getting any error codes or error messages or just the black screen?

I have the same issue:
I recorded it here:

Removing PROFSAVE file doesn't work. I even wrote a bat script to firstly remove this file and then run Battlefield 1 but BF1 still doesn't work for me.

        Hey @herrmefisto,

        When you're getting this "black screen" when starting up Battlefield 1, is the loading wheel just sitting there and no longer spinning? Your game freezes correct?

        If so, please try turning off the Origin In-Game Overlay in the Origin Launcher, and also right click the Battlefield 1 image in your Library, and turn it off in the game properties settings.

        Also, make sure that you are running DX11 and not DX12, this is known to cause a few issues.

        Hope this helps.


        Thanks 🙂
