Demo bug: Black screen after starting new game

[Youch!]

I can see the VR screen to move the fish and start the game but as soon as I do that, the screen goes black and doesn't come back. The game renders fine on the desktop display when this happens but the VR is dark. I updated to the latest nVIdeo 1080 drivers but that didn't help.

Hi Youch!
I'm so sorry to hear that. Could you please send me the log located at Munch_Data\output_log.txt and I'll do my best to fix it for you. It'll have to wait a few hours though as it's past midnight here but I'll look into it when I get to the office tomorrow and hopefully I'll find a fix for the issue.
Regards,
Victor

Hi again,
Thanks for the log, it really helped. I was able to nail down the issue and thankfully it was an easy fix. The updated build should be live on Steam right now but it might take a little time before your client notices it, a restart of Steam should help in that case.
Thanks again for reaching out instead of simply discarding the game altogether!
Cheers,
Victor
