Crashing on startup
I can't even play the game, I get a black screen. Anything anyone can suggest?

I'm running on an MSI Aegis X-038EU Gaming PC (Intel Core i7-6700 4 GHz, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics Card, Windows 10 - 64bit )

hmm. that should support the needed direct x, so... update your drivers?

I second Wrzlprnft, drivers are the most common cause.
Besides that: is it crashing (ie program terminates) or are you just getting an indefinite black screen?

Been a while, but just wanted to update you all - Tried updating all my drivers, still nothing. Lyacon, thanks for getting back to me, but it was just an infinite black screen.

Get the same thing really, its more than a black screen, if i alt-tab out or whtatever else it will pop up, then i can interact with it once by clicking on say options, then need to alt-tab again to see the changes etc

Have you tried switching into windowed mode with alt+enter?
I was not able to find anything about the original issue.

I digged around on the discord wether there were any dev responses.

Ogrebushi was actually on the discord and talking with a dev, but it did not result in any fix.

If you want, you can add me here on Steam or join the Discord, and send me a dxdiag or such, and we'll see wether we can troubleshoot your case. Or you can contact https://www.daedalicsupport.com/ and go the official route, if you have the patience.

just a quick question, do you have a windows N version?
