Permanent black screen again losing a day 15 run

[Godwings101]

As the title says. Got to day 15, investigation was hitting 100% was curious to see what that would do, still needed like 3m for the penthouse and then as it rolled into day 15 it froze on a black screen. Same issue as before, nothing fixes. What gives?

This is just a suggestion, but try playing on lower settings. My partner had the same problem.

My settings are pretty low as is so this wouldn't fix it. It's happened twice to me. Day 9 and day 15. Just seems like an issue the devs ought to fix. I already did see your thread before and checked my settings.

And the newly found ALT+ENTER trick?

Will be fixed in next hotfix. Soon, but don't ask specific date please.

It wasn't answered as losing meta-progression isn't an acceptable answer. You lose all your XP towards meta-progression you've gained restarting your campaign that way. It shouldn't.

I had this issue happen to me twice in my last two playthrougha.
Both at the 90% investigation Day.
Screen just remained black after the "Day # Investigation raised to 90%" text.

The first time it happened I didn't know the fix so ended up having to restart from the menu, which was annoying because it was my closest run to completing it.

Anyway, it happened again yesterday on 90% again.

However, this time I restarted the game and went to options, changed it to windowed mode, and made it like 640x480 (may not be required that last bit) and the cutscene played when I continued campaign!
Then once back on the territory map I switched it back to Full Screen.

WIndowed (Alt+Enter) seems to be the fix....maybe some cutscenes have an issue with borderless.

The cutscene ended up being the Cagnali robot army taking over from detectives.

The answer wasn't "lose meta-progression", is was "look for a backup save". And since when an "unacceptable answer" warrants a new thread? Can't you just, idk, just hear me out here, CONTINUE USING THE EXISTING ONE, instead of expecting people to check if the question has already been answered before, only to find out an older thread that was also created by you? Anyway, be my guest, I hope opening duplicate threads eventually fixes your reading comprehension and troubleshooting skills.

I'm with Lardo on this one. It was fixed in today's patch, however, I don't think I'll be trying to help you anymore due to what Lardo said.
