The Black screen issue can occur on your Windows PC when you have not given the required admin permissions to the .exe file of Sailing Era. To grant the required admin permissions, you have to run this game as an administrator from its original path. The default location if you have installed this game via steam is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sailing Era.
2) Turn off overlay apps
If you are using any kind of app that causes an overlay over the display, make sure to shut the app down or deactivate the overlay. Primary examples of such apps are Discord, MSI afterburner, etc. The overlays that these applications create can cause Black Screen issues.

Launching the game after setting some launch options can eliminate Black Screen issues as well. For that, open Steam, right-click on the Sailing Era game from Library, and select Properties. Go to the General category and enter “–no_exclusive_fullscreen” in the space given under Launch Options. This command will launch the game in the maximum borderless windowed mode that can resolve this issue. However, if the issue is not resolved, you can go back and remove the command.
4) Update GPU Drivers
If you are experiencing black screen issues in a game, then it might be because your GPU drivers are outdated. So, to fix this, make sure to update your GPU drivers to the latest version and then launch the game.
