Menu broken (Press enter --> Black screen)

[Lumicatti]

I swear I'm starting to lose patience over this game

Alright, so, I'm already having problem with the whole 'Escape from Shady acres' combat menu glitch, but as I was attempting to get into the game, in the menu pressing "Enter" the screen goes black, but I can still hear the music.

This has happened to me for 3 times, and each time I could resolve it by updating my steam, but this time it isn't working. I restarted my computer, but it still does that. I tried to just press enter and space to get to the game, but nothing.

I can hear the music and such but I can't see the menu. I also see the mouse and can move it around. This shouldn't even be happening.

Please, this game need a massive patch.


Edit: It seems to be doiing the black screen after pressing "Press enter to start" randomly. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not but It's really dreadful, because it takes over a minute to boot up the game.

I have a demonstration for the glitch. It simply won't start after this.

Same thing is happening to me! I'm ready to uninstall . This game is so frustrating. Hopefully someone has the answer.

It still is doing this, would be great if this was fixed.

Okay, so this is a temporary fix for me.

1.) Open Task manager and go to Performance tab
2.) open the game
3.) make the game windowed mode by pressing Alt+Enter
4.) When you see the game developer's screens and the epilepsy warning and crap, keep on switching from Fullscreen to Windowed by pressing alt+enter several times
5.) You'll notice the game's memory (task manager->performance tab) should rise, mine was eating 1.6 gigs of ram.
6.) pressing Enter should be fine now and should load the menu perfectly.

I noticed this because when I didn't do the alt enter thing, my game's memory was stuck in 1.3 gigs and the menu was black all the way. I guess you have to manually load the entire game by doing this. Still waiting for update though.

Hello! I just found a fix that works for me. Here is everything that I did.

- First I ran the game as an administrator through steam.

- When the game launched, I opened window mode by pressing alt+enter

- I opened the task manager and went into the Details tab.

- I set the game priority to high, and monitored the memory usage as the game was launching. the processor field had a value of 70-80.

- As the game reached the screen where it tells you to press enter, I kept watching the processor field until it went down to 10-15 before pressing enter.

The game probably just needs some time to load. Hope this works!

I found a solution! What I did was go into the folder that has your settings and save data and delete your display settings. I did it just now and it worked!
