Game wont load./black screen

[alkoholik666]

Hi.
I have a problem with the game ever since patch 2.0.
Game most of the time wont let me get to the attic and even if it loads the village doest.
After loading the game goes black and i can only hear ambient sound.
I have to kill the game with task manager.
Sistem vise i have no proble. Before i was runing the game on 60+ fps stable.
Im out of ideas. It really sucks since i really like the game and im supporting it on patreon for some time now.

There are some guys who had the same/similar problem.

Same here but this is the first time I'm trying the game out. I start a new game and it's stuck in the loading screen with only the ambient sounds being heard.

I did try to load the tutorial before starting a new game and it did the same thing. Stuck at loading screen with only the ambient sounds.

I have the same exact issue but I got into the attic but can't leave or open the tutorial, I can hear ambient sounds and my character walking and jumping as well as the mouse cursor appearing when I hit esc, but stuck on loading screen with a frozen green loading indicator.

When I got into the attic via New game or Load game, I noticed the green loading indicator not moving and alt tabbed then went back to the game screen and the indicator started moving and loaded me in to the attic, but if I do the same for the tutorial or when leaving the attic the game will not respond and crash.

Yeah now that I tried it some more when the game 'loads' the loading screen is still there but I can hear my character jump and move around. It's like an image of the loading screen is stuck there, when I press escape the mouse appears and when I click around near the middle left I can change the background music even. Weird.

Most probably a bug, hope the stuff we've pointed out can help the dev out.

Having the same issue with the loading screen getting stuck as an overlay. I can hear my character jumping when I press the space-bar and the mouse pointer appears upon pressing escape but nothing on the screen but the loading screen graphic.

I had the same issue months ago when I last tried the demo. A shame since I'd really like to give the game a go.

Managed to fix it by adding "--rendering-driver opengl3" to the launch options of the game.

To be clear here's how you do it:
1. Right-click on the game on your library and go to properties
2. Under the General tab you'll see the launch options.
3. On the text box put in "--rendering-driver opengl3" without the quotation marks.
4. Close the window and then run the game.

Seems like something to do with non-vulkan GPUs or something. Managed to get the game to run but now the graphics are a bit wonky.
