Crash and Now Black Screen?

[NoPhilter]

i HAD ANOTHER CRASH.
Yay, happens a lot with this game.

But now the bigger issue is, after this one I can't get the game to play. It launches, goes through the studio ads, gets to the menu where it goes black screen and I can't see anything. All I can hear if the menu sounds and the music.

I've tried restarted, relaunching, several times, even repairing the game.

Same thing here, from steam deck

This game have several issues that can cause crashing. I have been completely unable to start the game twice and i solved the issue both times.

The first fix was to increase the page file size on my computer. I set it to 16GB manually and then I could get past the instant crashing when I was fast traveling.

The second fix for me that caused some crashes was to disable Nvidia overlay from Geforce Experience. (Other overlays could possibly cause issues too)

So, I found a weird fix.
So I reinstalled and even THAT didn't bring the menu back, however even though I can't see the menu I can navigate it. Since "Continue" is the first option, just press enter or w.e it is for Steam Deck and it should load you into the game regardless.

Having exactly the same issues on my sons steamdeck, the game was working fine without issues for 3.5 hours of playtime then battery ran out while he was playing and now whenever loading save the same bug where menu loads behind the black loading screen... as post above states if you press A straight away the game loads in fine to continue the last save and strangely if you then exit, the menu appears fine as it should.

If anyone comes across a more permanent fix please post on here I cant seem to find any further solutions on line and thanks @No Philter was a good temp fix so he can keep playing for now :)

Same exact issues here, I can navigate the menu but can't see it, if I hit continue I can sometimes load in, although my recent attempts are met with a system crash after the loading screen so that seems to no longer be the case. This game really should not be listed as verified right now there are serious issues with many users left unable to play the game.

Yup, another person who now can't launch into the game on Steam Deck at all. Logos play, loading spider-man icon in lower right appears, but it freezes up before the menu ever loads. Really disappointing, as I was playing this months ago on the Deck with no issues.

Omg so mad so got like 12 hrs in played had fun. Then out of the blue black screen, then it will play for 10 mins and stop. I have ryzen 5 5600x with a rtx3070 and I can take off auto save to clound and set all settings on low and still same thing. Completely random. And ideas?

Running into this same issue on steam deck, haven't found a fix for it yet

Update: got it working by forcing compatibility to proton 8, and then launching the game undocked, and docking it after it boots to the main menu

This, but in desktop mode for me.

I have a working theory. I was playing Spiderman Remastered on my deck, and I turned on AMD FSR, and a similar bug happened where the game froze. Im pretty sure it was on in MM, im going to test and see if it fixes things.
