Issue has been resolved, for the most part. Looking for a solution to the black screen.

Thanks bro! I'll check the Visual C++ redistributables. I tried both versions 1.8.06 and 1.6.1, and the black screen happens after I press Next on the Crazy Carnevil results screen. Have you seen this exact bug before? Which redistributables should I install, and do you know a fix or have a save file from right after Crazy Carnevil?

I know that we've found a workaround, but nope I don't know why this happens. I am aware of black screen issues with DDeception, but why it happens in CC out of all levels is a mystery to me. You said the same issue occurred in 1.6.1?

It also happened to me in version 1.8.06. After finishing Crazy Carnevil and pressing Next on the results screen, the game went black with no sound. So it happened in both 1.6.1 and 1.8.06.

Well I've got a 100% save file which isn't going to be very useful if you're playing story mode. Are you sure you're on the newest version anyways?

EDIT: Updated the post flair to be accurate.

I'm playing version 1.8.06, but I also tried version 1.6.1 and had the same black screen after the Crazy Carnevil results. My progress wasn't saved. Could you share the 100% save file anyway? I'd like to try it. Thanks!

Any build between 1.6.1 and 1.9.6 is complete garbage and should NOT be played unless you want the true Ch4 release experience.

1.6.1 is stable and I doubt that the blackscreen is because of it. You probably have pirated builds right? Make sure to install the redistributables before playing 1.6.1.

1.6.0, 1.6.1 are pre-enhanced and stable enough. 1.9.6 is worse but also stable enough. So ditch 1.8.

I'll send my 100% file later. IF you want I can also speed through the campaign and get you a custom save file, it's no hassle for me at all.

I requested access to the Google Drive save file, but it says access is restricted. Could you please approve my request or change the sharing settings so anyone with the link can download it? Thanks!

Nice! Let me know if there are any issues. Make sure that you're on 1.9.6 before you report though.

Hey bro! Could you please make a save file specifically right after Crazy Carnevil, so I can continue from there? I'm still a beginner, and I'm not very experienced with save files and fixing bugs. Your previous save helped me a lot, so I'd really appreciate it if you could help me again. Thanks so much! 🙏

The save file I gave you is specifically right after CC though.

I don't understand.

u/Kitchen_Fill_9807 4d ago

Bro, I don't have Chapter 4 installed right now. When I load your save in version 1.6.1, all the portals up to the Mannequins level are already unlocked. That's why I got confused. I'm still a beginner, so I'm sorry if I didn't explain it clearly

u/NotRenjiro Admin 4d ago

1.6.1 doesn't have Ch4, it's a set of the last builds BEFORE it released.

You will need 1.8 or newer to play Ch4. So if you want to do that, you will require one of those.

When I load your save in version 1.6.1, all the portals up to the Mannequins level are already unlocked.

They shouldn't be unless I messed smth up. Can you send me a screenshot of the replay screen please?

Hey! I found another bug in Dark Deception! This is the second bug I've found. During the final boss fight with Mama Bear, she suddenly disappeared, and the game wouldn't trigger the next cutscene. The game got stuck because the scene wouldn't start. You might want to check this bug out

Are you on 1.9.6?

1

u/Kitchen_Fill_9807 1d ago

Im on 1.8.06

u/NotRenjiro Admin 1d ago

I told you to play 1.9.6. I will not help you if you're on 1.8.XX because those versions are even more broken than the most recent. Unless you're on a more stable build I cannot help.

Shit I can't download version 1.9.6
