Unity games won't display on my PC!

[Another Seraph]

Like the title says, my PC won't run any Unity based games properly. They just load up to a white screen, and the background music will play. My drivers are up to date, and I can't find anyone who knows about this problem. Games that I've put time into on the is PC just stopped loading properly. Someone. Please. Help.

edit: People can't read the first line of the post, so I changed the title.

Just a quick update. There's this new Unity game called ENCODYA (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1137450/ENCODYA/) and it works fine. I didn't touch graphic drivers so it's gotta be something else

Random-not-so-random suggestion here.

A few Unity games I play have this issue for some people (especially on older systems), and the fix that was suggested to them was to launch the game using OpenGL. It may or may not work for you RedGeneral28, but it is worth a try on games that are still having this issue for you.

Launch Parameters: -force-glcore
Remember to clear the launch parameters from the game if this does not work.

Keep in mind you may lose some performance in OpenGL compared to Vulkan, but if the game won't run in Vulkan, but will in OpenGL- profit?

Okay so I've tried this with The Solitare Conspiracy and got myself a "initializeenginegraphics failed" error. Web Search suggested to update DirectX but it's up to date and 3D acceleration is enabled. I could try to install another graphic card driver and try again later

Bear and Breakfast Demo - same "initializeengi n e g r a phics failed" error

Bummer that OpenGL did not work for you.
I have nothing else that hasn't already been covered in this thread already. :/

Can you tell me your GPU brand, and model? I'm actually curious on this.

I am curious as well. Also wondering if the game is trying to use the integrated chipset by default, rather than a dedicated GPU.

Sure, NVIDIA GeForce GT 240M

Don't worry about that. Thanks for trying anyway :)

Far as it shows, it can only support OpenGL 3.3.

The Solitare Conspiracy far as I can find anything about it what OpenGL version it uses, far I can only find out claiming to be using 4.4, but only way to be sure what version is asking the game dev what OpenGL it supporting.

ok now ive also fallen into this pit of black screen and can only hear audio type of bug behavior, but it only occurs in some games though.

list games it happened on:
grim dawn
element td 2
who's your daddy (2020 version only, not 2015)
killing floor 2

what does these games have in common?
they are all different genres, different released, and look different graphic wise. they also (probably) have different system requirements.

other games ive tried to play recently and could run without black screen:
Destiny 2 (high settings)
World of warcraft
Cities: skylines
Apex legends
Fortnite
Don't starve together
Northgard
Path of exile

so is the top list based on unity engine and the bottom list based on other graphic engine?

Grim Dawn is most definitely NOT running on Unity. It runs on a modified Iron Lore/Path engine.

Path engine? Same as path of exile?

Cause I never had a single crash in Poe during my 7000+ hours in it.

Destiny 2 (high settings) - whatever Bungie calls their engine
World of warcraft - Warcraft 3 engine originally, evolved into something of its own
Cities: skylines - Unity engine
Apex legends - Source engine
Fortnite - Unreal engine
Don't starve together - custom built
Northgard - Heaps (open source engine: https://github.com/HeapsIO/heaps)
Path of exile - Frostbite engine

As stated above, Grim Dawn is not Unity but a custom build of Iron Lore.

very thanks for list.
do you know engine of element td 2, who's your daddy, killing floor 2?

from i can tell i seem to have problem with only unreal engine and iron lore engine.

is frostbite the same engine the game battlefield 4/5/star wars battlefront uses? pretty sure it was called frost something.
