Potential Black Screen Workaround for Help Wanted 2 — Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 News

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!
