How To Fix White Screens And Sudden Freezing Of NieR: Automata In PC?
The players using AMD video cards are not happy with NieR: Automata. Whenever they play the game, their screens suddenly turn into white. Apparently, there is a fix for this. All they have to do is to uninstall their video cards by using AMD Clean Uninstall Utility.

They need to set the power management mode to maximum performance before setting the V-sync on adaptable. After following the steps, the players should be able to play NieR: Automata without any hassle and any disturbances.
