Black screen

[Cruddi The Gamer Dad]

I am constantly getting a black screen when trying to play this, i saw both logos advertising the studios once... but nothing since. I've not paid £35 for an advert for a studio... can i get some help?

I've refunded it, absolute joke of a release. Going to play Prince of persia sands of time on my steam deck... a much better game lol

I was able to get in game, seems like the loading screens are bugged and you have to just wait and press a once its loaded. there's supposed to be a yellow screen with a progress bar but it doesn't show.

Yes, you gotta press a button on your controller when blackscreen

I thought i could hear a "press to continue button" and I did hit all the buttons on my controllers but nothing happended. I gave up, i'll wait for an update or two then grab it.

I tried the game with both Rift CV1 (oled) and Index. Loading a saved game, you get an extremely faint image with the CV1, which clearly is an error. But the faint image does make it possible to read that after loading you need to press A to continue. Now Index with lcd is so bright it's impossible to see the extremely faint image - but at least now I knew to press A when the level had loading and the music played for some seconds.

So - after some seconds - try to press A if you have a black loading screen.

Completely broke for me. Trying to run on a Quest 3 with Link. I get the logos then the warning message then just blackness. I've tried A and every other button. I've waited a very long time then tried every button. Nothing. A community mod like Half life 2 VR works flawlessly with my setup but this game I can't even load fully.

Update: I tried launching from Steam instead of from within my Quest 3 and it comes up and says this game does not support my headset do i want to launch anyway. I have an Index but that setup is in a different room and the resolution is lower so I don't really want to do that. Looks like I'm refunding.

Good to know, but i've already refunded it. Did you load it through steam vr or oculus?

Hey guys! You could try my solution for Virtual Desktop. Maybe it helps to solve other problems too!

Solution is to force Oculus Runtime:
01.Go to Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\Oculus\OVRPlugin\OVRPlugin\Win64\OpenXR\
Rename "OVRPlugin.dll" to "OVRPlugin-BACKUP.dll" (In case you want to restore it later...)

02.Go back to OVRPlugin\Win64\
Copy "OVRPlugin.dll" into "OpenXR" folder.

Now inject the game into VD and it should run fine! Maybe it fixes your issue even if you not use VD. It's worth a try! :)

CV1 only through the Oculus Desktop App, Index of course using Steam OpenXR.
