JSaB not starting up correctly??
ive been trying to open JSaB for the past 30 min, and it starts, music playing and the curser being the triangle, but the screen is completely black. i can even click where the main screen buttons wud be, but nothing changing.
ive tried everything to fix the files, verify the games files, restart my computer, clear my cache (or what ever its called), uninstall and install the game. i have no idea what to do, is it because of my computer? (macOS high sierra version 10.13.6) i cannot update my computer because of its age. please help!!

Before trying anything else, please:

1- Check if your computer meet the minimum requirements for the game

2- Update your drivers (specially your graphic card)



If yes, please follow those steps:

1. Launch Steam and go in Library.
2. Right Click on Just Shapes and Beats and select Properties.
3. Select Launch Options and Copy Paste the following;

-force-glcore

4. Copy the entire line in the field including the - at the beginning.
Press Ok and Launch the game.


If this code doesn't work, instead of -forceglcore, try the followings one at a time please:

-force-d3d11
-force-d3d12
-force-vulkan
-force-gles

Let us know if you still have the issue.

ok, sadly didnt work. i checked my graphics and they shud all be alright (cpu is core i7-2600, gpu is AMD radeon HD 6970M and has 16GB of ram) and when i tried all of the launch codes, they didnt work as well. -force-glcore made the game instantly crash (without a crash pop up/crash report which i found weird), and all the 4 other options just gave me the same result as yesterday. and i shud be able to run JSaB, because in i was able to play it this years january. but thank you so much for reaching out :D
