Black Screen When Reloading a Save

Post by VeraLynn »

I just updated to the newest build, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but if I die and and reload the game there is a black screen, ui is there and if I move the mouse the compass works but I have to bring up task manager and end the program. I apologize. I couldn't find a post that said what to include.

I've had that recently. One solution that worked for me was to load another savegame. THEN load the savegame I wanted.

I can't remember what the bug was but it might helpe to load a savegame that's outside.

It was within a dungeon. Outside of dungeons everything works okay. Thanks for the advice. I just hope it was a one time thing.

If you enabled "Alternate Music" in settings, try disabling it. It prevents reloading in specific dungeons with the symptoms you describe.
This will be fixed in next release.
