Firstly, make sure to restart your device. The classic “turn it off and on again” trick.

Check the game after each of these steps, and you may find that you’re back in action and didn’t have to do the arduous steps ahead. If you still experience stuttering and black screens, then you’ll have to read on and try the proper fixes for the problem.

Fixes for Stuttering and Black Screens in Ready or Not

If none of the basic troubleshooting steps worked in Ready or Not, then try one or both of the following steps, and you should find that the problem will vanish.

Update Windows

Make sure that Windows is up to date. You can do this through the “Update & Security” tab in Settings. Also, go to the Microsoft website and update the .NET Framework to version 4.8.

Reinstall Graphics Drivers

Using Display Driver Uninstaller, you can completely reinstall your graphics drivers. If adjusting the graphics settings didn’t work, then updating and reinstalling the drivers themselves should do the trick.

DLSS Update Mod

There is a mod that you can install for Ready or Not that has helped many players with their visual issues. You may find that it works for you, too.

Once all of the steps above have been solved, you should find that Ready or Not is ready to play. If you still experience stuttering and black screens, then there may be hardware issues that you have to replace.

When you get back into Ready or Not after fixing these issues, how about you give your poor SWAT Officers a break?
