As it is a new release users may be facing different issues. In this article, we will discuss the Yuzu Pokemon Scarlet Black Screen issue and how to fix it.
Why Is Yuzu Pokemon Scarlet Having Black Screen?
Yuzu Pokemon Scarlet is having a black screen issue. Because the game has graphical issues that turn the black screen.
The Yuzu Emulator doesn’t support the game yet, which means the game is not compatible with Yuzu.
Yuzu has not implemented a fix for the black screen on Pokemon Scarlet.
Some peoples also reported same issue on Reddit:
“When I boot up Scarlet and make a character I only see a black screen when I get up to walk around. Dialogue & prompts still show though. I’ve tried installing firmware 15 but that doesn’t seem to have fixed it. Ryujinx just crashes on load. Any ideas?”
“Pokemon Scarlet yuzu black screen after selecting character.(Some UI elements can still be seen). Character select works fine, after that the screen goes black (music still can be heard and some HUD elements are visible)”
“Most of the time the game crashes after launch but when it started everything but the UI is dark I still can move and interact with the environment but i can’t see anything, someone know what is happening or how to fix it? I have both NSP and XCI versions of the game”
