Im not sure if im right but when i got a BLACK screen today i couldn't see anything about why or what cursed the BLACK screen. But when in the BLACK screen i pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del and then pressed the Council button it still sat on BLACK screen so i pressed Ctrl+Esc a cupple of times till i saw my taskbar and there i saw this (in pic on screen) its hard to see but if you zoom in abit you can see it says something about SimpleHUD+ScripthookV so i got rid of the message and BLACK screen was gone so carried on playing but without SimpleHUD. As SimpleHUD crashed so im not 100% sure if its ScripthookV or if its GPU coursing the crash. Please let me know what you think thank you. To get what i found here (below) I typed/searched on google this > > > (simplehud.asi and black screen problem) and found what i put all down below for you to read it may or may not help im not sure. BUT before you do any of the steps below PLEASE search or look more into it before doing it for yourself thank you. AI Overview A black screen when using simplehud.asi or other ASI loaders is often caused by conflicts with overlays, an outdated ASI loader, or an incompatible game version. The black screen usually indicates an issue with the mod loading process during game startup. Common Solutions Update the ASI Loader: Ensure you are using the latest version of the ASI loader (e.g., dinput8.dll provided with Script Hook V or the Ultimate ASI Loader). Disable Conflicting Overlays: Overlays from other applications can conflict with script hooks and mods. Set Interface and Overlay to false in the ScriptHookV.ini configuration file. Disable or close overlays from Steam, Nvidia GeForce Experience, Discord, etc., before launching the game. Check Game Compatibility: Ensure that simplehud.asi and the ASI loader are compatible with your current game version. Game updates often break script mods until the mod developers release updates. Verify File Integrity: Use the game launcher (Steam or Rockstar Launcher) to verify the integrity of your game files. Corrupted files can cause issues. Reinstall Relevant Software: Sometimes a clean reinstall of the Rockstar Launcher and Social Club can resolve underlying issues. Check for Software Conflicts: Some users have reported conflicts with specific screen recording software. Temporarily uninstalling such software might help diagnose the problem. Alternative ASI Loader: If you are using mods that require a specific DLL (like version.dll), try using an alternative ASI loader such as the one linked above instead of the standard Script Hook one, or use the "Online Content Unlocker" mod if you need similar functionality. Troubleshooting Steps Remove all mod files (.asi, .dll, configuration files) from your main game directory except for the core game files. Launch the game to confirm it runs without a black screen. Install the latest, compatible ASI loader. Launch the game again to ensure the loader works. Add back the simplehud.asi file and its configuration file (simplehud.ini). Launch the game and check if the issue persists. If it does, follow the overlay and configuration tweaks listed above.
