Perhaps that’s because the developers have promised fixes for all inconveniences. Until then, gamers are left to discover fixes on their own. It’s also the case with colored-tinted screens (red, blue, black) recently noted by some players. According to their experiences, their screen gets colored. While this doesn’t affect the gameplay in any way, it’s still visually disturbing. The issue appears randomly when played in full-screen mode or influenced by other items in the game, as one user says: A trick that one gamer used was to notice when the Valheim blue screen appeared – it started from an object and then spread out. So she figured out that moving the mouse or camera away from it would prevent the screen from coloring. But here are other tested solutions that worked for players so far.

How can I fix a Valheim black screen?

1. Update the graphics driver

Display issues are oftentimes caused by outdated drivers. While these are automatically updated along other Windows processes and apps, sometimes they need manual updates. One way to make sure your drivers are up to date is to open Device Manager, right-click on your display driver and click on Update driver. It is possible that this process tells you that there are no updates for your driver. But maybe there are details that you don’t know about the process. This is why we recommend using a dedicated driver updating software such as DriverFix. With just one click, it will scan your device and inform you of all the necessary driver updates. Setting up the tool is extremely easy, so is using it. Not to mention that you can periodically scan your device and make sure that the system is in top shape.

2. Log off the server

An easy, yet a bit cumbersome, way of getting rid of a tinted screen is to interrupt your game and log out of your server. This is probably causing the game to reload and it also eliminates glitches; however, it’s only a workaround and you can’t use this method all the time. Facing server lag while playing Valheim with your friends? Here’s the fix!

3. Use the windowed mode

Launching games in windowed mode is helpful if you have a low-end PC or if the game is too demanding on graphics resources. Also, running a game in windowed mode usually eliminates performance bugs and some users confirmed that it helped them not get the colored screen anymore. You can easily enable windowed mode from your game display settings. So this concludes our list of confirmed fixes for a red or blue-tinted screen in Valheim. We hope that this is the only bug you’ve faced with the game so far. Users have also complained of missing characters or low FPS. Get the most recent Valheim version and play it by yourself or with your friends on your PC.
