Game can't start

[26O3 極光面紗]

For some reason whenever I try running the game, the screen turns white and I can't do anything. My computer doesn't freeze, my second monitor can still operate normally, it's just the first one I can't do anything.
Does this happen to anyone else or is my computer an absolute potato.

[I'm assuming this isn't a new issue with 0.008, and this is the first time you're launching the game.]
Been looking into this issue, and hope to have it at least partially resolved with version 0.009 (in the next couple days). In the meantime, if you want to try a version that will work with a command-line fix, email me ([e-mail]) and I'll send you the link.

Sorry about the problem!

I'm so surprised the developer replied I don't know what to say. Thanks I guess, I'll email you then.

Hi Switch, version 0.009 is now out. Please try starting the game in OpenGL mode and see if that fixes the issue.

I have the same problem, and this didn't work.

Hi Chocominecart. Sorry for the problem. Can you try it one more time, and let it try to start for about 10 minutes. I've heard from a couple people that's how long it took to start the first time. I'll be replacing the problem asset eventually (water shader).

Also, if you can post specs of your machine (OS, CPU, GPU, etc) that would help figure out the pattern of what hardware this is happening on. Thanks!

Same, only windows log-out option was able to kill that process.
Demo downloaded 10 mins ago so I guess its new version.
Win7.

I had a similar problem, white screen at startup first time. However I waited, maybe 15 seconds then clicked the mouse button and it worked fine. It now starts straight away. Shader cache build? If this is the case... a "Please wait" or "This may take awhile" screen might help?

I'll look into making sure everything's pre-compiled. Seems like something isn't with OpenGL, not sure why.

I personally wasn't using openGL. Just the normal mode.

I just downloaded the demo today and had the same issue. I left the white screen going and after 15 minutes the game launched successfully

That is both good and bad. I'll keep looking at this issue, but there's no quick solution. I'm replacing a number of shaders, including the ones for water which definitely are causing some of the issues.
