Game boots, but stays on a black screen
I click Launch, executable is visible on the task bar, but my screen just stays black with flickers of white around the edges of the screen once every ten seconds or so.

Anyone else having this issue? Is there a setting that needs to be tweaked before I launch the game? Or is this a hardware issue?

I'm having the same issue. What graphics card are you using? I have an AMD

Edit: For some reason, its working now. I booted up the game and after I noticed it wasn't working properly, I used alt + tab to switch to steam to look for any solutions. After that, I clicked play on vanquish (I had forgotten I had done the alt + tab) and it started working. So I'm not sure exactly what happened

Have you updated your drivers?

I'm glad yours is working! Unfortunately, I'm unable to Alt+Tab when it goes to black screen, I can only hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and hit log off, because if I try Task Manager it just goes back to black.

Updated before/after I tried to run it. I'm using a Nvidia GTX 1080 3GB

Unfortunately I'm not too tech savvy, so I can't be of more help to you. Best of luck to you, if you haven't solved the problem already

I'm having the same issue. Updated my drivers, and still no luck. It stays on a black screen right after the Platinum games screen. Graphics card is a 1070 GTX.

Still no dice. Black screen is impassable. Probably going to just get a refund here, sadly.

Got a refund as well. If I get it on sale, I'll try launching in windowed mode. I'm glad it got the port it deserved, just wish I could play it. :/

Same! I was looking forwards to playing it, I love Platinum games and I was incredibly excited for a high frame rate PC version. If I find they've patched it or something, I'd love to get it again.
