If You're Still Having Issues Launching the Game, or See a Black Screen

Please try the following solutions, whichever ones are relevant to your system, in this order:

1. Windows and Proton Users: Try the Vulkan and 32-bit executables instead.

  • On Steam: These are presented immediately on startup.
  • On Epic Games Store: Navigate to the install directory, such as:
    Program FilesEpic GamesHades
    Then, open the x64, x64vk, and x86 folder. Finally, run Hades.exe as Administrator by right-clicking on it and selecting 'Run as Administrator...'

2. If you're using Steam, please try disabling your Steam Overlay:

  • Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
  • Select 'Properties...'
  • Toggle 'Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game'

3. If you ran the game and it worked for you before, try backing up and then deleting your settings file:
DocumentsSaved GamesHadesProfile1.sjson
Note this is not your save progress. This will simply make the game restore its default settings.

4. In some rare cases, the game's default settings can cause problems. To change those settings before launching:

On Steam:

  • Right-click on Hades in your Steam Library
  • Select 'Properties...', and in the pop-up menu, look for the field with the heading 'LAUNCH OPTIONS'
  • Enter the following: /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false

On Epic Games Store:

  • Select 'Settings'
  • Scroll down to Hades under 'Manage Games' and select it
  • Select 'Additional Command Line Arguments'
  • Enter the following: /UseNativeGaInput=true /UseNativeGaInputNoControllers=false

If those don’t work, there are a couple of additional options to try, adding one at a time, each one with a space after the ones above:
/UseSwapEffectDiscard=true
/UseAnalytics=false

5. Try running Steam or the Epic Games Store itself in Admin mode: exit the program if it's already running, locate the respective EXE file, right-click on it, and select 'Run as Administrator...'
