How to Fix the Black Screen Bug in Days Gone

At the time of writing, there is no permanent fix for the annoying black screen error. However, there are a few ways you can work around the issue. The first of which is to simply restart your game or reload your game via the menu from a checkpoint.

Along with this, you could try updating your drivers or even verifying the steam files. But it has been reported by one player that they still encountered the bug right after updating their drivers.

Hopefully, the developers will release a patch quickly as possible to fix what I'm sure is an annoying issue to run into while playing the game. Which they should since in this post on Steam, the developers stated that they would be monitoring all of their channels.
