Game not booting in offline mode

[huiliehuilie: de musical]

I am playing the game on my Steam Deck, whenever I am in offline mode and am booting the game, I get stuck on a black screen with ambient sound effects playing.

Sometimes I do see the Unity splash screen. I also see the prompt "New Input Device Connected."

Hi, I'm the main programmer on spirit swap. Does this just happen when playing offline? Does it work when playing online?

It *should* obviously work with both, but I want to be sure where the issue occurs. It could be a save issue, or it could be a steam integration issue

Did a quick test on my Steam Deck. Game starts as normal when I'm online, then when I close the game, disconnected from the internet, and then booted up the game again, it gets stuck again.

I have in a few cases gotten to the menu screen properly by pressing some buttons after a while on the black screen, but the working button seems to be random

Got it, thanks! I'll take a look at that and let you know when I have a fix

This should hopefully be fixed now, sorry for the delay!
