It can be frustrating when Free Fire MAX won't open no matter what you do. Some players open up the game and immediately see only a black or white screen.

There are a few common reasons for the problem to consider.

First, the app could be down. If you open the app and immediately encounter an error, it's possible that the game is down for everyone and the issue isn't on your end.  In this case, you'll just have to wait for developers to fix the servers.

Next, your device may not be connected to the internet; this can cause issues with accessing and starting the game.

If the problem is on your end, you may have to go through some troubleshooting to see what the problem is.
