[SOLVED]Bug: Stuck in loading screen

[Dabliux]

I was playing this game yesterday, and no problems at all. I wanted to play it again today, but after opening it and selecting "Continue", it freezes on the loading screen, and it won't start.
I can move the mouse and I can hear the music, but it just wouldn't start.
I have tried already to check the game's files, I uninstalled it and re-installed it on multiple HDDs and SSDs, but I still have the same problem. Do you have any solutions for this, please?

Solution:

I emailed Fireproof Games, and Tom managed to fix my problem. This is his email with the solution, for anyone who may encounter the same problem:

"It looks like your graphics settings might have corrupted. Try changing this on the pause menu before starting to play.

If that doesn't work,

Try deleting the file in the following location (you might have to turn on "view hidden files" in your file browser) -

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\LocalLow\Fireproof Studios\Old Sins\CustomGfxSettings.xml"

This is absolutely stupid but deleting that file fixed it for me, as well. It's nice to know it's four months later and this bug still exists. Great job, devs!
