Hi, thanks for the fix. I use NVIDIA 2080Ti.
The first fix make the black screen issue worth. I need restart game every session now, before was like 2-3 session. And some skin can't load in game after apply the fix, I have to restart the game to resolve the issue.
For the 2nd fix, game now require minimum drive version 536 or later.
Hope you can figure out another fix soon. Thanks again for your great effort.
