It is said that if you are using teamviewer for example (or any similar off-site remote management software), turning it off, exiting the program. I had that black screen for example on launch of the Unreal Tournament. I turned off Real Player, OneNote too. Voila, not only did my screen finally load with what I’m supposed to see, I was able to join a match and play.
