Hi everyone!

After few tests run internally, we've nailed down a potential workaround to the black screen issues! First and foremost, please ensure that you are trying to launch the game through SteamVR and/or Quest Link as those are the only two 'launchers' we officially support at this time.

Now to the workaround:

  1. Right-click Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 in your library > select "Properties..."

  2. In the 'General' tab, find the text box underneath 'Launch Options'

  3. Enter the text " -hmd=SteamVR " (without the quotes)

  4. Relaunch Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2

Overall, we are investigating this issue so that a workaround is not necessary in the future. In addition, we've noticed that some folks have used "-openvr" in the Launch Options as a working solution as well, but that hasn't worked on our end. Let us know if either of these has helped!

Thank you all! Steel Wool Studios
