genymotion stays on black screen when loading emul

Question

When i start a new virtual device with genymotion sometimes it will get stuck on the black screen and not load. Sometimes it will work especially just after a restart, otherwise it will hang on the black screen and become unusable.

Answer 1

If the emulator freezes or crashes this is likely due to incompatability with your video card driver.

If however it just hangs on the black screen, this can be due to two reasons:

---

Your Firewall or other program is blocking genymotion

If this is likely the case then try disconnecting any vpn services or other software which could be hindering this, and ensuring that genymotion is able to connect to the virtual device over the local network.

If you have a firewall, make sure that you allowed connections to the Genymotion network, set to 192.168.56.0/24 by default.

Your network adaptor is misconfigured

If this is the case you should try the following

1. Run VirtualBox.

2. Open File > Preferences > Network (or VirtualBox > Preferences for Mac OS X).

3. Edit the Host-only Network by clicking .

4. Check that the adapter IPv4 address is in the same network (192.168.56.0/24 by default) as the DHCP server address, lower address bound and upper address bound. If not, your virtual device cannot start.

You can also remove the Host-only Network by clicking . Genymotion will automatically recreate it at the next virtual device start.
