Alice: Madness Returns

Alice: Madness Returns

Stuck on First Loading Screen
I can get into the game fine, set everything up, but then when I launch a new game, it's just stuck on the very first loading screen (before the first cut scene even). This is not a hardware-related problem; my loading times are generally very short. The longest I've tried waiting it out has been about 5 minutes. I also can no longer tab out of the game; it seems to freeze without actually freezing (the key keeps swinging smoothly).

Haven't been able to find anything about this problem online... has anyone had the same issue? I've updated my drivers again like I've seen recommended and am currently reinstalling the game.

After battling many many options for how to make this game work, my bf finally found something that made the loading screen issue go away and have the highest resolution in 60 frames. You'll find more details in this youtube video https://youtu.be/Y2QBSSWrWwA?si=9z0Ceo3mRF6oE1xE :gearthumbsup: :smile:

I thought I fixed it but I didn't. I'm still having this issue to this day. I just gave up. Sucks because I really wanna play this game again. Best of luck.

i ran into the same problem a few minutes ago but i don't know how to close the game because nothing seems to work, how did you do it?

In Steam, before launching any game you can change the resolution settings. Also in the game folder you can play with settings in the notepad like turn off the first intro video etc. Try that maybe
