Install the downloaded file. Then, reboot your computer and check if MIR4 is now working, hopefully.

Final thoughts
Encountering a black screen error in MIR4 is quite bothersome as players enjoy the game. Meanwhile, players can also earn money with it. The NFT game has its own utility token called Draco, based on blockchain technology. To mint this token, players need to mine "Darksteel" in-game. When they're level 40, they can smelt it to obtain Draco. Moreover, they can cash out Draco to GCash.
If you successfully solved your issue, you can now continue grinding and mining in-game.
