Backbone is the latest game by developer EggNut. Since its release, many players are complaining about the Backbone crashing, lagging, and sometimes, black screen.

Recommended Fixes for Backbone Issues

There are lots of factors that may cause Backbone crashes, black screen, lag, screen tearing, and stuttering. If you’re one of the Backbone players having at least one of the mentioned issues, here are the recommended steps that you need to do to fix and address the problem.

Check Backbone System Requirements

One of the main reasons for having Backbone crashing and black screen issues are not meeting at least the recommended system requirements of the game. If you downloaded Backbone without checking the requirements first, it’s time for you to visit this link for the full requirements of Backbone.

Update Your Drivers

Backbone is released in a good condition. If you meet the minimum requirements of the game, it’s likely that your outdated graphics driver is the main reason why Backbone is crashing. We highly recommend getting the latest update for your PC. You can visit your hardware manufacturer’s official website to get the latest update for your device.

Manually downloading and installing drivers for your PC is time-consuming. For some, updating drivers may be a little bit complicated. For those who want an easier method, we recommend trying IObit’s Driver Booster to automatically download and fetch the latest and needed driver update for your PC. In our case, we used Driver Booster to update and fix the crashing and performance issues in Backbone.
