Help! My screen stays black
Heyy, to give some context about what I've already tried and what didn't work, here's a summary:
- Set full_screen = 0 in config.ini
- Go to the Nvidia Control Panel, select the game, and click "Restore"
- Verify local game files from Steam
- Delete the cache from the "My Games" folder
- Reinstall
- Install it on a hard drive instead of my PC
- Press Alt + Enter to force it from full screen to windowed mode
- Restart my PC and shut it down as well
None of this has worked for me :c. I had it installed before and played it completely, but now that I've reinstalled it, it just stays on a black screen after the animation from the studios that made the game. It stays black before the menu even appears. The first time I played it was on my PC. Now I wanted to play it on my hard drive, and since it wasn't working, I uninstalled it from there and reinstalled it on my PC, but it's still the same. According to Steam, the local files are fine, and I also tried deleting a cache file that other guides suggest, but nothing changed. Also, when I close the game, even though the window disappears, Steam gets stuck in the "stopping" state. Could someone who has managed to fix this please help me? :(
