Save Goes Into Black Screen

[thomaw]

I imagine this is due to the game being new and they are working out the kinks with Mods, but I made a mistake and reloaded my save. It now goes to a black screen where I can hear things but cannot see or even exit the game. I have now tried all of my saves, whether auto or manual, and none will load. I checked the integrity of the files and it passes.

Did I just get a game breaking bug in general that wipes my save?

Game indeed has a known issue with black screens right now. Bethesda is aware of this and we are expecting a patch next week.

My last save was about 3am this morning. Now I get the black screen whenever I try to load any of my anniversary edition saves! Apparently it's a known problem (try googling it) and Bethesda say they are working on an update.
There's a mod ('Lucien') which apparently helps to fix it, as the problem is supposedly caused by the saved games loading too quickly, so it puts in a 3 second delay!
I tried installing the mod, but it needs some other stuff installed and I can't be bothered to check it all out at the moment.

Thank you! I did google it but nothing was "official" and I don't have twitter to see the replys Bethesda gave.

Over the weekend I was looking at some mods that correct it but I feel like AE is still too new for everything to "click" into place with. Hopefully, Bethesda does something soon.

There was a new patch that fixes these issues today, but it has unrelated problems as well.

If you have Discord, then Bethesda has it's own server there.
