I just installed saintrow 4 but it black screens after the amd logo.

Try reinstalling/re verifying game cache, and remember to make it work for dark theme

  • First thing you need to do is update graphic cards driver (if you haven’t not updated yet) as well as Motherboard drivers. 
     
  • Go to game’s settings and disable VSync, anti-aliasing and filtering as well as multi-sampling to make it at lower settings. Probably your system is not enough to run the game on High or Ultimate settings. 
     
  • As I mentioned above, make sure your Antivirus or any other security suite is disabled. Yes, they can as well create the Black Screen issue. 
     
  • In case you are playing Saints Row 4 on Steam and getting Black Screen, make sure you also disable Firewall or allow SR4 through it.
     
  • To free up the resource and to make sure no other applications is conflicting with the game, open Task manager > Process Tab and kill all unwanted process running in the background 
     
  • The black screen should be fixed as of now, in case it is still appearing then you will need to do clean re-install of SR4. By Clean install I mean you uninstall the game, delete its installation as well as Save Game Directory, restart the PC and then install the game again. It works.

i know your pain my saints row wouldnt work for 3 months first off is your game installed on an external drive if so move it to a steam library on your c drive. if not try moving to a new steam library or to a different drive(if possible). i did literally everything even updated my bios and that was the only thing that worked
