Cyberpunk 2077: Literally None of the "Solutions" Work to 2.5 Crashes (Fix)
Short answer
I'm on the same boat. I had a fresh install of W11 and 2077 and I can't play more than 5 minutes without getting the blackscreen crash.
How to fix it
- Update your Nvidia graphics drivers. A new driver update was released on the exact same day, which is known to cause crashes for players who experience blackscreen issues even without any mods installed.
- If you are playing on Linux using an Nvidia card, apply the specific troubleshooting steps and configuration outlined in the community-shared technical guide for Debian stable systems.
If it still doesn't work
- Turn off all active mods, HDR settings, and Reshade tools, even if a fresh installation of Windows 11 and the game has already been performed.
- Avoid rolling back the game version to v2.31, as older game versions will prevent your newer 50-hour save files from loading properly.
What players reported
Most of the threads/comments with fixes presume that there are mods installed. I don't have a single mod installed. I don't even know how to install mods. I very unluckily started playing the game a couple of weeks ago and haven't finished the game. Tried rolling back to v2.31 which got me into the game but now my 50hr saves won't load. I just want to play the game ffs
What players suggest
I'm on the same boat. I had a fresh install of W11 and 2077 and I can't play more than 5 minutes without getting the blackscreen crash. Doesn't matter if I turn off all mods, turn off HDR, turn off Reshade. I've tried everything. 5800x3d, 5080. 32gb ram. None of my other games crash.

If you're using linux and have an nvidia card then this might be your solution. I can't make any promises, but it worked for me. I have a 2060 and am using debian stable. https://gist.github.com/kauefontes/d40d750061508a3faf7e0a208462ba4d
I know from what others have said that if they didnt have mods and still crashed, was that Nvidia also put out a New Update to their drivers same day. Id start there if i were you.
Did this work for you?
