Tower of Fantasy features a vast, beautiful landscape of anime-inspired art, both in traditional fantasy styles and more cyberpunk-y styles. It’s a great game to look at, really, which is probably why you’d be distressed to boot it up and only get a black screen. So, how do you fix a black screen in Tower of Fantasy?

How to Fix Tower of Fantasy Black Screen?

A blank, black screen, either for Tower of Fantasy or just about any PC game, is usually the result of some kind of graphical error. Something went sideways when your computer attempted to load up the game’s visual elements, so nothing showed up.

In this situation, the first thing you should try is Alt-Tabbing out of the program, letting it sit for a moment, then switching back into it. Sometimes a quick kick in the proverbial pants will get those visual elements properly loaded.

If that’s out, the next step is to check your graphical drivers. If you have an NVidia graphics card, for example, open your NVidia control center and check to see if your graphical drivers are up to date. If they’re not, go ahead and update them. Out-of-date drivers aren’t properly equipped to handle newly-released games, so make sure to keep those up-to-date.

If you’re still having problems, your PC may not meet the game’s recommended specs. If your graphics card or CPU aren’t sufficiently powerful, your PC simply may not be capable of loading the visual elements.

Here are the minimum specs required to run Tower of Fantasy, according to the game’s Steam page:

OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5 or equivalent
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 25 GB available space

And here are the recommended specs for the best possible experience:

OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 1060 6GB
DirectX: Version 12
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 30 GB available space

If you’re still having trouble, you can source support from the official Tower of Fantasy Twitter page.
