If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Black screen when starting GZdoom via UDB
Hello. I have a problem where loading gzdoom via ultimate doom builder makes gzdoom show a black screen. I can still act in the game and the black screen disappears when I press escape. What could be causing this issue?

Also, this happens with every mod except doom delta.

Also, if I start a map where the sky is visible in UDB, the black screen does not occur.

What are the specs of your computer - particularly the graphics card?
I probably won't be able to answer the query myself, but you haven't given people too much to work with, and that's important information.

Switching to the vulkan renderer seems to fix the issue.

Re: Black screen when starting GZdoom via UDB
This issue has been around for a long time. It happens when you specify the map on the command line. I made a thread here a while back. This sticky here didn't work for me either...
