Summary
SomeInfinity Nikkiplayers appear to be experiencing a “black screen of death” when launching the game on Windows 11, but there may be a way to temporarily fix the issue. As an open-world dress-up role-playing game developed in Unreal Engine 5,Infinity Nikkiwas a bold undertaking for Infold. The team was forced to build several new systems from the ground up, with the Wardrobe being the most notable example. While it was never hailed for its performance,Infinity Nikkiran tolerably on most devices since its launch.
However, this perception changed dramatically whenInfinity Nikkilaunched Version 1.5, ushering in a wave of technical issues and game-breaking bugs. PlayStation 5 players couldn’t log in to collect their daily rewards, and HoYoverse only recently rolled out compensation to those affected by the update. Coupled with the controversial story changes and new monetization practices, it was a perfect storm of unfortunate circumstances thatsparked a boycott ofInfinity Nikkiby disgruntled players.
Unfortunately, it appears that Version 1.5 has targeted PC players next. ManyInfinity Nikkifans are reporting on social media that they can no longer enter Miraland, either met with a “black screen of death” or a “white screen of afterlife” – referencing the way their application looks when frozen. The issue seems to affect Windows 11 users, with customer support askingInfinity Nikkiplayers to roll back to an earlier update. However, as shared by Prestigious_Zombie87, there may be a more elegant solution to the problem until Infold releases a long-term solution in the nextInfinity Nikkipatch.
Infinity Nikki: How to Get Past the Black Screen of Death in Version 1.5
Players whoseInfinity Nikkiapplication gets frozen on Windows 11 should go into their installation folder, right click on launcher.exe, and enable compatibility mode for either Windows 8 or Windows 7. While this solution isn’t guaranteed to work for everyone, it does seem to work for a fair few players. It remains to be seen ifInfinity Nikkiwill compensate playersonce again, but given the state of its community, there likely isn’t compensation big enough to account for Version 1.5’s shortcomings.
Ultimately, the best path for Infold going forward would be to gather feedback from its players, stick to its development schedule, and slowly implement solutions toInfinity Nikki’s most glaring issues. Though Version 1.5 is seen as a major stumble followingInfinity Nikki’s successful launch, much of what made players fall in love with the game is still present. Set to launch on June 01, 2025, Version 1.6 could end up being Infold’s first step towards writingInfinity Nikki’s redemption story.
